Bug Description
The idea is that you just start whyteboard (provided you have python 2.5 through 2.7 installed, which is common in most linux distributions, and easy for Windows people) and that it automatically installs wxpython if the user asks/agrees (because wxpython is less-common).
Operating Systems:
- Windows (Script run as administrator)
- MacOS - Incomplete
- Ubuntu "Gusty" through "Lucid"
- Debian Etch and Lenny
- openSUSE 11.1-11.3
- Fedora/Core 8-14; RHEL 5-6
- Gentoo (latest/head?)
- Mandriva "Rawhide"
- Slackware 11.3
- Arch - Pending
- FreeBSD - Pending
- Foresight/rPath - Pending
- Others would be easy to implement, if this bug is approved (and I'd be happy to work out bugs).
Package Managers (Linux):
- zypper
- yum
- apt-get
- emerge
- urpmi
- slackpkg/sbopkg
- pacman (pending)
- pkg_add (pending)
- conary (pending)
Processor:
- openSUSE: i586, x86_64
- Ubuntu: i386, amd64
- Gentoo: alpha, amd64, hppa, ia64, ppc, ppc64, sparc, and x86
- Slackware: x86
- i586/x86 in general is a good idea
GPU:
- Does whyteboard even use a GPU?
Python:
- Version 2.5 through 2.7
(Note 2.4 might work if it were enabled for dapper through intrepid as the corresponding wxpython package exists)
Wxpython:
- Windows: 2.8.11.0
- Mac: 2.8.11.0
- openSUSE: 2.8.11.0
- Ubuntu Feisty: 2.8.9.1
- Ubuntu Gusty: 2.8.9.2
- Ubuntu Hardy + Intrepid: 2.8.10.1
- Ubuntu Jaunty - Lucid: 2.8.11.0
- Debian Etch + Lenny: 2.8.11.0
- Fedora 8 - 10: 2.8.9.1
- Fedora 11 - 14: 2.8.11.0
- RHEL 5 + 6: 2.8.11.0
- Gentoo ?: 2.8.10.1
- Mandriva "Rawhide?": 2.8.9.2
- Slackware 13.1: 2.8.11.0
