Avro launchpad PPA for Ubuntu

Hi guys. Most of you have seen and followed the tutorial I provided for installing Avro in Ubuntu.

That post was also given in my personal blog. Couple of days ago, a guy named Kaustav posted this as a comment in my blog.

Thanks for the post.

I have prepared Avro (scim-avro) packages for Ubuntu. They can be downloaded from my Launchpad PPA at https://launchpad.net/~kaustav-dasmodak/+archive/kido.

Installation instructions can be found at my blog post Install Avro Phonetic (scim-avro) in Ubuntu from PPA.

Using
this PPA, you can directly install scim-avro 0.0.2 in Ubuntu 10.04,
10.10, 11.04 and 11.10 for both 32bit and 64bit versions of Ubuntu.

@Amit Seal:
You can try this package from my PPA. It installs all dependencies for Avro on Ubuntu.

Thanks,
Kaustav

I have googled around, and found that Kaustav is a regular member at OmicronLab forum and been working there. Though I didn't try out the PPA(simply because now I prefer using Probhat), I think this PPA should be tried out by others.

If you follow the ppa and install it, please give your feedback under this topic

Well,I gave it a try. But it didn't work.

Added Launchpad ppa to my software sources,updated package information. But it ended up in showing errors as below while installing scim-avro:

Code:

E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).


Edit: I've installed scim-avro successfully. The above errors occurred because I had some broken packages. Fixed 'em,again proceeded to install and succeed.

Thanks to Caustav for it

Hey guys, thanks for trying it out. I'm glad to know it worked for you. The problem that still remains (and I think is not a fault in the packaging) is that there are issues trying to type letters like 'খ', 'ছ' etc in OpenOffice/LibreOffice. I've seen the same happen while compiling scim-avro from source. Any ideas on that?

I picked out one more issue.

With scim-avro running,I've faced problem programming in Codeblocks IDE.
The keyboard keys just get stuck when I press ctrl+space while coding. And I had to either click on anything outside the IDE or just quit scim-avro to start coding again.

Can you tell more about this problem?

<.<
age long issue with Scim. I noticed that when I used Eclipse. Probably has something to do with Scim's oldness.
