It's a really good idea! But.... what a strange licence?? Why not using GPL or BSD-Licence?

Why do you think this is strange ? I don't want anybody modifying my source code, perhaps i think of a BSD license, this maybe easyer for other hmmm ?

I agree that it is somewhat strange: 'you can see but you cant touch'

Making it a BSD-license would open it up 100% for improvements, and you still get credit for originating the app..

Making it a GPL-license also opens it up for improvements, but they have to give them back to the community as well..

Personally i prefer BSD style, as its more friendly to developers that have corporate issues to deal with.

A really good idea. Keep up the work.
It would be nice if you could incorporate a front end to the ports system.
Or maybe a possibility to see the loaded modules and to load and unload modules from there...

KPackage has some frontend for the BSD ports system. I have not much used it so I don't know how functional it is, but it would be good to take a look at it before implementing another ports frontend.

I think the BSD Package features of KPackage are not working well and installing packages with it is impossible, I have written a Kfile-plugin for *.tbz packages this weekend it displays Meta-Info for it (Comment, Descr. and File list) using 'pkg_info' but is still a bit buggy, but I fix it before I release tweakBSD 1.0 on October! For Ports I'm thinking of an Interface like 'Ports Index Builder' showing a treeview of your ports dir at the left and on the right you can choose options like, make configure, build, patch, fetch, install and make package. Additional I could implement some features of Barry and display if theres an already installed version of the port and which one it is. Additionly it could provide features like upgrading the ports dir via internet.

Ideas for all things to configure on FreeBSD are welcome, for best you provide a GUI idea too

OK I have extended the Kernel and Modules MDIchild wiht a second tab which shows information parsed from kldstat (-v) ! This shows even the loaded modules but unloading them by a KDE app is not good I think 'cause some modules crash the system while kldunloading it, I will include this feature but you have to enbale it on preferencesdialog and you are warned that some modules might crash your system!

ok, good. I didn't know KPackage doesn't work that well with ports. So I think adding ports support is perfectly fine - also I like your ideas for that. It would allow any "normal" end user who doesn't touch a konsole or something to install new applications. Basically I think your application is really great for such users (but also for advanced users) since many system related settings can be configured from one application! Keep up the good work!

Besides: can the application be downloaded from somewhere? Is there a CVS or Subversion server?

Raphael

Since I'm unemployed I have no money for a server or hosting solution, my last homepage was www.3dtweaker.net but I couldn't pay it anymore. I can send you a developement version at the weekend by email, on Friday I always do fix bugs quite the whole day ;-),
at the moment there are too much bugs to send it to you, you have to wait only a little.

P.S.: Critic and ideas of any kind are always welcome

 freebsd4.10?

i am curretnly working on getting freebsd4.10 working will it work on that too (says 5.1+ in discription)?
and yes it looks great, but i'd rather see copylefted than copyrighted...
and using the gpl would ensure that no-one could make money with your app without sharing it for free (whereas they could if you bsd the app).
anyways keep up the good work

You can use it on 4.10 but I can't say what will work and what won't work 'cause features of FreeBSD 5.1+ supported by tweakBSD aren't supported on 4.10 I think, but you have to wait for the first usable version (1.0) which will be released on October. That's what I expect, it could even be later. I have to do so much work until you can call it a real KDE application with lot's of features ;-)

Ok, I can say for sure you will have nearly no support on 4.X 'cause of many changes to 5 ! If some part works hmm ok. At this time I'm writing the configfile lib after that I'll do the pluginin and interface stuff after that the mdi lib :-) and if all this works I can build the application, and after that the plugins everybody wants tu use (I hope somebody will do) !
When KDE 3.3 is released tweakBSD will have it as dependency 'cause I change to the new api right then!

 Implementation hint

Here's an implementation hint. Instead of using an MDI interface, which is officially discouraged by KDE, why not use a QWidgetStack? Since you're only showing one configuration "page" at a time, there should be no loss in functionality.

Or even better, since you're KDE based instead of pure Qt, how about making it a KControl module? See "http://developer.kde.org/documentation/standards/kde/kcontrol_style/index.html" for a HOWTO.

The KC Module is a good idea, but I'm not sure if I do tweakBSD completly as a KC Module, but there will be one to setup some tweakBSD KDE related settings, this is what I can say. But I'm not sure if I get all this in 1.0 and 1.0 on October will be 1.0-lite sorry but this does only mean that the plugin support which get's me in hell of trouble will not be included and the kfile-plugin for packages will be released later because of time savings. nVidia options will not be included since nvidia-settings port is available :-) Thanks nVIDIA!

excellent!

this will be at the top of my list to install when i move to 5.3[stable].

i read the description, but did not see any mention of support for the revision control system.
i religiously co & ci all config files.

is this something you plan on supporting?

At the moment there no plans to have rcs support. perhabs later, but not for sure. When 5.3 is released I hope I can release tweakBSD 1 for it 2-3weeks later then everybody can test it. A release for 5.2 was planned but I think everybody will upgrade to 5.3 so 5.2 is outdated and will have no further support in tweakBSD.
