OS2VOICE RPM - ...and MMOS2 Updater
« on: November 12, 2025, 11:24:30 pm »
Hello

At Warpstock Roderick formally announced the OS2VOICE RPM. I asked Roderick for a formal email announcement, but I can not wait for more people to try it out.

Visit: https://rpm.os2voice.org/
Include the RPM and WarpIn repository into AN Package Manager.

I want you to give me some feedback about: https://rpm.os2voice.org/warpin/release/ArcaOS_MMOS2updater-1-0-0-01.wpi
I really like it a lot, it installs MPlayer, the MIDI stuff, CODECS very easy and for me it is working great.

Regards

The repodata is still broken. This is server side issue.
This will be looked at later. But you can download via rpm.os2voice.org with a browser.
Remember you can also need to download and install the CWMM 031 WPI next to this one. Otherwhise Timidity will not work.

I am currently dealing with some health issue so not online much.

Hello Roderick

May I suggest that lSwitcher to be included in the WarpIn installers?
-- https://hobbesarchive.com/Home/Download?path=/Hobbes/pub/os2/util/wps/lSwitcher-2-94-0-0.wpi

I want to make a WarpIn installer for DataSeeker to be included.

 I was watching the presentation at Warpstock Roderick gave when he mentioned the new repo for WPI apps so I immediately added it to ANPM and was able to download and install everything on it - thanks Roderick! (and thanks Martin for showing it). It all works great. I agree with Martin that lswitcher and Dataseeker be included too.

 One thing I'm curious about - there was an alpha PMMail 3.26 version awhile back, but nothing about it since. Will there be any further releases? The alpha does not seem to recognize my license...

Regards,

There was not an alpha of PMMail. There was an announcement. It was wrong.

There have been a few bug fixes over the years, and I'll probably do another release. Occasionally I rebuild to make sure I can still do it, and to reset the timebomb.

 Maybe it's not an alpha, 'About PMMail' says:

 3.26.00.2024 (32973)
 Dec 31 2024 20:39:44 +0000 (GMT)
 Session Time: 4.0 seconds

 And it is currently available on Hobbes (uploaded back in July). It works OK here, just get a warning that it is expired and needs a license every once in a while. Thanks for keeping it alive and look forward to any new updates!
