Welcome to my website. Here you will find my blog, writings, some photos and some information about me. Have fun and enjoy your stay!
Me: Benazir is running for the elections
Qsm: But Musharraf will stay anyway.
Me: You are probably right because you are Pakistani but how can it happen ?
Qsm: Musharraf will stay.
Now he's right although I didn't really believe him.
God bless her soul.
I was trying to package hunspell-ar for Chinook so I ended up packaging:
* hunspell (libhunspell and its development headers)
* enchant (hunspell and ispell providers but I'll disable ispell soon)
* hunspell-ar
* dictionaries-common and dictionaries-common-dev (hunspell-ar depends on them)
As for dictionaries-common and dictionaries-common-dev, they are different than the Debian ones. Yes I'm using the same source but I'm only providing the bits related to myspell. I didn't include the policy too.
I noticed this because of my work on him-arabic.
If your plugin provides a language other than the 16 "known" languages, It will be displayed as " ()".
Ideally, The fix should be somewhere else but not all of the components are open so even if I can fix it, I won't be able to publish patches or packages.
It seems that the source provided with the SDK is a bit outdated so I had to grab the latest trunk: https://stage.maemo.org/svn/maemo/projects/haf/trunk/hildon-input-metho…
HIM Arabic plugin is on its way.
The code is available from my svn repository
This is my Arabic related TODO list for maemo. It's my personal one not the Nokia employee one :-)
* katoob should be fully functional (I'm learning here). Actually I did more work today and I guess it's fine.
* Package and publish some Arabic fonts (I know there's one provided by the browser team).
* See what can be done regarding input (Low priority. Sorry to say that I don't like the HIM plugin interface).
* Check arabeyes.org apps. Is there anything useful and needs "porting" ?
* glibc/x11 Arabic locale ?
* Any suggestions ?
So the svn repository now contains what should be katoob 0.5.9 (Hopefully). Which can now run under maemo.
You get a gpg encrypted facebook wall post like this. Only problem is he used a revoked gpg key to encrypt.
Here it goes. Lighttpd, php, sqlite and drupal with sqlite support.
All compiled inside scratchbox using the beta Chinook SDK.
First post from the N810. Had to do a bit of hacking to get Arabic! can't say I'm completely happy with it in general yet.
Now I remembered when I was lost in CDG airport. The only person I found to ask spoke french. I was asking her in English, she was replying in french. I didn't understand her and probably she didn't understand me. Yet I managed to find out what I wanted!!
** I hate that airport anyway
