Minitube packaged
Minitube, the youtube video client is now in rpmfusion, I am having some difficulties with the fedora 12 build, but that will come soon.
The packages reside in rpmfusion-free-updates-testing, try them out!
yum install minitube --enablerepo=rpmfusion-free-updates-testing
update on Dropbox Servicemenu
Since I find this servicemenu very useful, I’ll continue packaging it. I have placed it inside my own repository as it is not suitable for inclusion in fedora (as in not so useful since the dropbox client is gnome only and this does not use dropbox-nautilus, but assumes you have followed this guide here or similar).
To install this on fedora you will need to put this in /etc/yum.repos.d/magnu5.repo:
[magnu5] name=magnu5 baseurl=http://magnu5.fedorapeople.org/repo/$releasever/ enabled=1 gpgcheck=0
or install the rpm for the repo:
yum install http://magnu5.fedorapeople.org/repo/magnu5-1.0-1.fc13.noarch.rpm --nogpgcheck
Then
yum install dropbox-servicemenu
Dropbox Servicemenu
I was looking for a new project to package, and I found this: http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php?action=content&content=124416 .
Then I made this: http://magnu5.fedorapeople.org/review/dropbox-servicemenu/
dropbox-servicemenu
I haven’t tested this yet, and the RPM’s lack documentation, will query upstream to make some. In the meantime, you can enjoy this with your fedora kde!
Requires: dropbox, python, sqlite and kde.
ffmpegthumbnailer & kffmpegthumbnailer
I just pushed kffmpegthumbnailer into rpmfusion-free for fedora 12, 13 and devel. This is a much faster video thumbnail generator than mplayerthumbs.
This should be installable using yum in a week or so, ffmpegthumbnailer has already hit the repository.
