Dropbox for Mandriva 2009 and 2009.1
This should work on any recent version of Mandriva, but specifically on 2009 (current) and 2009.1 (cooker).
So far so good, but as always, your mileage may vary. It’s the first one I’ve built on a VM (my physical build machine died), but it installed fine on my EeePC, so hopefully all will be well.
Synching with folders outside of /dropbox
This could probably be summed up in a few words (the words being “use symlinks”).
Basically, what I wanted to do was to sync several folders outside my dropbox folder (for various reasons). The solution was to create a shortcut in the folder I wanted to sync, and then moving the link to my dropbox folder. This can be done of the command line by typing something like:
ln -s /home/folder/to/sync /home/andy/dropbox/synched_folder
This could be used in all sorts of ways, some of which I may blog about over the next couple of weeks.
Dropbox for Mandriva 2009
I’ve just converted the latest Ubuntu build of nautilus-dropbox into something that will work on Mandriva (download .rpm). Again, this was done more to solve a problem of my own than anything else, but others are welcome to it as always.
