Preware - 版本号: 1.5.0 (2010年12月17日)

概要

Preware是一个在Palm Pre 和 Palm Pixi 上的软件包管理应用程序。用户可以使用Preware来安装在preware.org（或者是作为开放标准软件包主机的其他站点）上的任一开放标准包库的所有软件包。Preware依托于一个由社区研究开发的自定制服务，该服务能使mojo应用直接访问内建的ipkg工具。

运行Preware至少要求webOS 1.4.0或以上版本。不要试着将它装到更老的webOS版本上，它不会工作的。

This application was the result of extensive community-based design in IPKG Service and Preware Design.

For application management, Preware can access more applications, and has more features, than any other on-device package installer.

And since it is open source, and has a completely open development process supported by a team of world-class WebOS Internals developers, it will continue to get better much faster than any other package management application.

Preware is the open application installer that has been written specifically to support a homebrew ecosystem where any developer can upload any application to any submission site, and that application can then be installed by any user. Developers no longer need to upload their applications to multiple submission sites, and users are no longer excluded from accessing applications from any open standard package repository.

安装Preware

要安装Preware共有三种方式：WebOS Quick Install, Stand Alone Installers, and Command Line.

安装或使用Preware并不需要直接访问Linux命令行，或是“将Pre提权至root”。

不要使用fileCoaster, PreLoad 或是 PreUpdate来安装/升级Preware。这些工具都不能正常操作高级自制软件包。

如果你是一名使用Palm模拟器的开发者，你应该了解Preware在模拟器中运行和在真实的设备上运行是一样的，并且使用完全相同的方法。

在webOS 2.0上安装Preware

To install Preware on a webOS 2.0 device, the following procedure is recommended until WebOS Quick Install and other installation methods have been upgraded to support webOS 2.0:

1. Install the official Palm webOS 1.4.5 SDK
2. Disconnect your device (I repeat, do not have your device connected, no cables in the device, device not even anywhere near the computer), and run the webOS 2.0 Doctor to install or upgrade your Novacom drivers
3. Close the doctor, and connect your device
4. Download the latest Preware package from http://get.preware.org/
5. Use palm-install to install that package

用WebOS Quick Install安装Preware

You can use version 3.14 or later of WebOS Quick Install to install Preware directly from the WebOS Internals feed.

Latest Version of WebOS Quick Install available here: WebOS Quick Install v3.14

1. Install the required Software
   1. Click here to verify that you have the latest java installed on your computer and update if needed
   2. Click Here to download the latest version of WebOS Quick Install
   3. Optionally, Click here to download the current webOS Doctor for your carrier and phone in a subdirectory your will remember (maybe "Palm"?) and the same one in which WebOSQuickInstall will execute. If you already have it, skip this step.
      • You do not need to download webOS Doctor separately unless you wish to do so, as WebOSQuickInstall will download it itself if not found.
      • Do not run the webOS Doctor
2. Put your device in Developer Mode
3. Connect your device to your computer with the USB cable, and select "Just Charge" (do not select USB Drive)
4. Run WebOS Quick Install. If webOS Doctor is not present, you will be asked if you wish to download it prior to execution.
5. Click the third button on the right (Blue Down Arrow)
6. Choose WebOS Internals Feed (Pre) or WebOS Internals Feed (Pixi) from the drop-down list at the top.
7. Select Preware from the list.
8. Click Download.
9. Click Close.
10. Click Install.

Installing Preware with the Standalone Installer

Preware installers can be downloaded here: Preware Standalone Installers. These instructions are currently only for Mac and PC users.

1. Install the required software.
   1. Click here to verify that you have the latest version of Java installed on your computer and update it if needed.
   2. Click here to download the current webOS Doctor for your carrier and phone in a subdirectory you will remember (maybe "Palm"?). If you already have it, skip this step.
      • Do not run the webOS Doctor.
2. Put your device into Developer Mode.
   • Windows users: When connecting your device to the computer for the first time, you will be prompted to install new hardware. Click Next to start the device installation. You may get a message regarding Novacom drivers not being installed. If so, you can disregard it. Once your device is installed, proceed with the Preware installation.
3. Download the Preware Standalone Installer and place it in the same directory as the webOS Doctor .jar file.
4. Run the Preware Installer.
5. Click on the Tools menu and choose Install Drivers. This will install the Palm Novacom drivers for webOS devices.
6. Once the drivers have finished installing, click on Install Preware. After Preware is installed, your device will be unresponsive for a few seconds while Luna restarts.

Installing Preware from the Commandline

If you have access to the command line of your webOS Device or emulator using Terminal, Novaterm, the "Linux Commandline" in WebOS Quick Install, or other techniques, you can install Preware by typing three lines. This technique is always the shortest and in many ways the simplest, but if you are in any way unsure of operating at the Linux command line, please use either of the methods described above.

<source lang="bash"> cd /tmp wget http://bit.ly/preware-bootstrap sh preware-bootstrap</source>

Updating Preware

To update Preware, just run Preware and select "Package Updates" from the main scene. If an update to Preware is available, it will appear in the list. Then select the "Update" button. Preware will close automatically after the update is complete.

Note that you cannot use fileCoaster, or PreLoad, or PreUpdate to install or update Preware. Those tools are unable to operate correctly on advanced homebrew packages.

Removing Preware

Why would you ever want to remove Preware?

To remove Preware, hold the Orange button on your keypad and choose Preware from the Launcher. Choose Delete.

Usage

Preferences

You can select preferences in the top left corner of the Pre to bring up the preferences screen. On the Preferences screen you can specify the look of the application, the frequency that feeds are updated, and what Preware will show you by default. TIP: To make it easier to find things, set "Show Available Types" to yes. This will show separate categories (Applications/Themes/Patches/etc.) rather than show everything in one long list.

Feed Management

In the preferences section on the top bar on the right side is a button that takes you to the feeds screen. On the feeds screen you can select which feeds are loaded and which ones are not. Simply select the on or off button for that feed. (If you are not interested in themes you can disable the two feeds for themes to speed up the updating of feeds) Preware comes with the following feeds by default (some are disabled by default, but are easily enabled if desired). Default Feeds Palm Beta Palm Beta Updates Palm Catalog Palm Catalog Updates Palm Web Palm Web Updates PreCentral PreCentral Themes WebOS Internals Optware WebOS Patches WebOS Kernels

See Testing Feeds for detailed instructions on adding custom feeds.

Package Updates

To update feeds, simply select "Update Feeds" from the Application Menu. Preware will download the package list information from your enabled feeds. After processing the data, you will be back at the main list of available items.

Installing Packages

There are a few ways to select and install a "package" (application/patch/theme/etc.). Using "List of Everything" would be the simplest. Find the package you want to install either by scrolling and tapping on it, or just start typing Tap the "Install" button that the bottom of the package's page to install.

Removing Packages

Removing a package is just as easy. On the main screen, tap "Installed Packages", then the category of the package you want to remove Tap the Package you want to remove Tap the "Remove" button that the bottom of the package's page.

Operating notes

Limitations

No known limitations.

Known bugs

• When selecting a patch with dependencies, if you view those dependencies then install them, when Preware returns you to the original patch's screen it will still have the 'install' button showing even though it is installed successfully. Swiping back and returning will show the correct status.

• The Update All button can get confused if there are patches with complex dependencies. This will be fixed in a future version.

• If updates to App Catalog applications are pending, they will be silently skipped when using the Update All button.

• The Updates feature from the regular Palm Launcher, may claim that application updates are needed, and then when the user clicks Show Updates shows the App Catalog's installed applications, there are none shown that need updating. This isn't as expected. This is because an app that was previously only in Preware has now migrated to the Palm Catalog. Don't worry, your apps are up to date (with the possible exception of the one with the conflict.) This is not a bug in Preware per se' but an app version conflict because the app is in both the Palm Catalog and also in Homebrew. Notice that you don't need to remove Preware to install the app from the official catalog, but simply disable the feed in Preware then "update feeds" to refresh the list then it should install fine from the official app catalog.
