So far things are going rather well. Aside from some lib hell here and there most of the application testing is going rather well. Surprisingly a large number of programs at Haikuware currently work correctly. Some need repacking, and or need to include the required librarys as part of the install.

I will work with everyone who has a application posted here to resolved these issues in a timely manner. If someone has a question I have a direct line with one of the devs if something is a bit unclear.

So lets make Haiku the best open source OS on the planet, lets make stuff just work !

So lets cover some basic tennets behind what I am doing here.

I am auditing the applications on Haikuware and taking stock in what works and what does not. Sadly I think a few BeOS apps may no longer work correctly.

I am also testing currently functional software for compliance with regards to data integrity and directory setup. I am also making sure dependancys are properly included.

Each application is responsable for its required files. We cannot count on a user to understand that he she needs bundle B to make application A work. I am going to work on getting a certification from the devs for the sdlgcc4 librarys and a few others. This way it can be packed with each game to resolve functionality conflicts.

I am a bit unsure of what to do with Qt at the moment and I have emailed the devs at the QT project. Hopefully getting that figured out would be massively beneficial.

I will be busy testing and updating this blog over the next few weeks preparing for Alpha3.
