Project Neon - Amarok's Free Insomnia!
What is it?
Project Neon is the codename for an Amarok internal all mighty project, aiming to provide nightly binary packages of the most recent Amarok code base. It makes the current development easily available for everyone.
Why you want to use Neon
- Bug testing/Quality Assurance
- Keep track of development
- Join development
- A life on the bleeding edge
What you need
Currently Neon only provides packages for Kubuntu, so you will have to be using this Linux distribution until we can offer packages for other distributions as well. All package dependencies will be resolved using the repositories stated below or the official distribution repositories.
How to use Neon
Kubuntu
- Add deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/project-neon/ubuntu hardy main to your /etc/apt/sources.list file
- Update the package cache and install the package amarok-nightly in your preferred Package Manager
- Start Amarok via your desktop's application menu or by executing amarok-nightly in a terminal.
Disclaimer
You can install Neon packages along a stable Amarok installation, since it's using own paths for it's files and configurations (i.e. your configurations will be stored in $HOME/.amarok-nightly)
Even though we try to keep your data secure, you should always be aware that Neon is providing mostly unreleased and therefore untested software, which might as well eat your system.
Contribute?
If you want to provide Neon packages for the distribution you're using, you should first of all know how to create packages for that distribution ;-) and then ping apachelogger in #rokymotion on irc.freenode.net
Also, in case you want to prevent apachelogger from going crazy due to a lot of Ruby hacking, you might familiarize yourself with this language as the whole Neon framework is written using it.
