Latest additions for June to Odiecolon.repo

Added to Odiecolon.repo:

  • gnuchess 5.0.7 + xboard 4.2.7 (somehow, EPEL’s eboard seems to fail to start gnuchess)
  • spe (Stani’s Python Editor) 0.8.4.h + winpdb 1.3.8

Building other chess games on EL5 is a difficult task. PyChess has some dependencies that can’t be satisfied (pygtksourceview requires gtksourceview2 2.2.x, whereas the latest that builds with the current GTK+ is 2.0.2), and I suppose GlChess is an even more impossible task. Oh, and the antiquated gnome-chess 0.4 has a horrendous way of drawing the bitmaps, so I decided to stay with XBoard.

This introduces a period of calm with regards to Odiecolon.repo: I’ll be away from my CentOS 5.3 laptop until July 3.

    This is probably off-topic, but being WinXP and CentOS are both quite boring and somehow kind of obsolete, why did you choose CentOS over XP?

    A feeling of a relative freedom and the flexibility still matter…
