Hello to all

First of allI want to say thank you to Martin Renold, that has created a 
very good program to extract the artist inside us :)

His program, is called MyPaint, and when I saw it, I thinked direct to 
Openmoko Freerunner. I found on GetDeb the package for architecture i386 
and amd64, prepared by Joao Pinto. I took the .dsc and the tar file, and 
I compiled with a debuild.

The package compiled perfectly on FR whitout any changes, and in a few 
of minutes I had my .deb for armel4.
They did a perfect job :)

I tried the application on FR and this was the result:

It run pretty well. It is fast enough (in Debian & XFCE). If would be 
nice if someone would make a opkg package.
The only problem was the sensitivity of the touchscreen. It happen that 
when a person put the pen UP the screen continue to
think  that it is still down. I think it can be fixed by software, but I 
am not so sure!

If you want to try it but you don't want to compile with debuild, here 
there is the precompiled package:

[deb]:

[tar.gz]:

[diff.gz]: 
http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/562269/MyPaint/mypaint_0.6.0-0%7Egetdeb1.diff.gz
[dsc]:
