<br>
As you know Sun Java is now GPL compatible, so Fedora is planning to<br>
land it as soon as possible in the repositories. I might suspect that<br>
Fedora won't wait for F10 to include Sun Java. Possibly Sun Java would<br>
be pushed to F9 repositories in next month.<br>
<br>
so we can now include Electric :) Aanjhaan, you have proposed electric<br>
before. Here you go :)<br>
<br>
<br>
regards,<br>

<div><div></div></div>I was talking to someone on the train back home about FEL.<br>
He pointed out that FEL lacks FTDI support.<br>
Both<br>
* libftdi<br>
* libftd2xx<br>
have their SRPMs built by PLD Linux.<br>
<br>
If you want we can add these into FEL ?<br>
<br>
F10 alpha is out on 29 July. It would be nice to get that in before 29<br>
july so that we could actually have a Livedvd built for F10 alpha in<br>
time :P If not we ought to wait for beta.<br>

</span><br>While Aanjhan is having a look at Electric, i'll try and get this spec<br>
from PLD linux. Should be pretty straightforward with a ready to use<br>
spec.<br>
<br>
tkgate has some locale problems, but the author says they are well<br>
supported. It will need a bit of work.<br>
I'll be away next week. Will have a look at ftdi when I am back, and<br>
hopefully also tkgate. (help welcome.)<br>

This is to inform you that I have started work on Electric. And the<br>
spec file for Ecos is in progress. Will submit both for review by<br>
Tuesday, July 1st 2008.<br>
<br>
{OT} I have completey moved to Chennai from Bangalore now(Phew! Too<br>
many things I had to move). Will be here for the next 2 months before<br>
heading to Swiss.<br>

I'll try to build the rpms during the EURO2008 matches :)<br>

specific files and build rules that needs to be removed for Linux<br>
platform. Also Java3D support needs to be added and after that I<br>
guess, the build goes well, except that it is not able to find a<br>
bsh.jar file which the ant build tool searches. I am working on the<br>
same now, and I guess it should be a minor issue.<br>
<br>
I am feeling much relieved to have crossed a big step (build not even<br>
starting or failing with 100s of generic errors) in which I was stuck<br>
up over two days without progress. The reason was some wrong jdk<br>
version mismatch. The electric devel mailing list was helpful in<br>
resolving this. Now at least it is giving some sensible build errors.<br>
<br>
Will keep you updated.<br>
<br>
Cheers!<br>

Following changes were needed to finish the build process.<br>
<br>
1. download bsh.jar (beanshell), junit, prefuse, lucene and put it in<br>
packaging folder.<br>
2. Remove any reference to AppleInterface in the build.xml file<br>
3. Remove any plugins requiring J3d. (need to work on this to allow<br>
build with 3D enabled)<br>
<br>
Have uploaded the build electric binary (11 MB) into<br>
<a href="http://tuxmaniac.fedorapeople.org" target="_blank">http://tuxmaniac.fedorapeople.org</a> . It would be great if someone tests<br>
and gives me feedback while I modify the spec and patch to allow build<br>
from spec.<br>
<br>
@Chitlesh, any improvements with the creation of mailing list for FEL?<br>
<br>
Cheers!<br>

given in the below link and run the .jar by Right clicking and<br>
choosing "Run with Java".<br>
