Hi John!
Thank you very much for you effort developing conduit!

I would just like to beg you not to give up developing this wonderful program!

Especially data providers for syncing Thunderbird and Firefox (bidirectional) would be highly appreciated!

Wish you a great time!

I’m using OSMGPSMAP 0.5 in a project, and have some issues with viewing Google Satellite tiles. Google seems to ban my IP address after a few minutes of looking around on the map. I get a 403 forbidden on all satellite tiles. The Google street maps and streetview still work.
I didn’t got banned with previous versions, at least not as fast.

If you want some future for conduit..

I am still looking for a way to backup my system. Conduit help me to backup my data and some important config like my desktop, emails calendar.. But my application list and other stuff are still missing and i spend too much time to come back to my previous config. I have never found a proper program to do that. Conduit is so close that it’s a shame is not doing that.

==> Possibility to synchronise data on a CD,DVD when CD is full or near full a message comes up and i insert a blank CD and my Data are written on the CD (==> synchronise with brasero).

==> Possibility to synchronise my list of application. If i reinsert my backup tool all my programms are redownloaded and i am up to work in few minutes.

==> Encryption of data etc..

Thanks for all you hard work

Right, will stop the blog spam now - but you seem to have fixed the installer bug too… far too quick for me !

Ooops just read the post, good work on PyCairo too

Don’t forget the tiny bug in the installer at the end, then these are basically good to go.

Heh, funny to see this on planet.gnome.org after the mailing list. I was in the middle of writing an email explaining how far I hadn’t got when I saw the posts mentioning you’d built it.

I might still have a go at getting it building, but so far am stuck… probably good just for testing. Getting this out is great news for shoebot: we can start to ditch our home made IDE for gedit + a python plugin.

Might try shifting my (in)action to pycairo on windows soon (probably easier to build that one though).

@Hispa: No unfortunately. I am doing all this from a 32bit virtual machine in Vmware. Others should be able to follow my instructions and produce 64bit installers if they want.

Many thanks for your work on PyGTK for Windows. We rely on it for being a cross-platform toolkit, and we really appreciate your work. I hope the Windows version will stay up to date and allow us to bring good GTK+ applications to more people.
