Foobillard and freetype 2.2

FooBillard no longer works on Debian unstable:

$ 0launch http://people.freenet.de/LinuxCNC/0install/foobillard
FT_Load_Glyph:error#6

This problem seems to be affecting lots of people (not just those
running it with Zero Install).

It needs an older version of freetype2. I've put a suitable version up here:

  http://0install.net/2006/3rd-party/Freetype2.xml

To use it with FooBillard, add this element to the feed:

    <requires interface="http://0install.net/2006/3rd-party/Freetype2.xml">
	<version before="2.2"/>
	<environment insert="lib" name="LD_LIBRARY_PATH"/>
    </requires>

The Freetype2.xml feed also contains a source implementation, so if
the binary isn't suitable for your platform then just click on the
'Compile' button to build one.

(this won't actually help you though, because you can't compile any of
the other bits yet ;-)

Finally, note that "libXaw8" (which the FooBillard binary also needs)
has been removed from Debian's archive. However, creating a link from
Xaw8 to Xaw7 works, as nothing changed between the two versions except
for the addition of xprint support, which no-one uses.

BTW, has anyone asked the FooBillard author about putting a link on
the FooBillard web-site?

0compile 0.7

0compile 0.7 has been released:

  http://0install.net/0compile.html

There's a blog post showing screenshots of the new GUI features here:

  http://rox.sourceforge.net/desktop/node/360

Changes since 0.4:

- '0compile gui' now offers more functions (Setup, Build, Register and
  Publish). After doing Setup, you also get prompted to clean any existing
  build.

- Allow '0compile gui' without an interface argument; this launches the GUI
  within an existing build directory.

- When adding text to the compile log window, automatically scroll to the
  end if we were near the end before.

- Use of plash for sandboxing is now disabled by default, since it requires
  a number of bug fixes which are not yet in an official release. The
  USE_PLASH_0COMPILE environment variable can be used to turn it back on.

- Removed our custom install script. Not needed with new version of plash
  (svn) and doesn't work with directories.

Bug fixes:

- It's no longer possible to register the same feed multiple times.

Fixed.

Incidently rox-devel and rox-users have their cross-posting limit set to <3.
 This was the only announcement that got through...

0compile 0.8

0compile 0.8 has been released:

  http://0install.net/0compile.html

Changes since 0.7:

- When building, tee the build output to build/build.log, along with
some other useful
  information about the build:
  - The contents of the 0compile-env.xml file
  - 0compile's version
  - any patch applied to the source
  - uname output

  When done, the log is renamed to build-success.log or
build-failure.log, as appropriate.

- Added '0compile reportbug' command, which submits build-failure.log
to the sf.net
bug tracker (the tracker to use should be read from the interface in
future; need to think about this a bit).

- If the build fails when using the GUI, let the user notify the
developers by pressing a button (just runs '0compile reportbug').

Currently, all reports end up here:

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=76468&atid=905152

There is a sample one I sent (trying to compile GNU-Hello in a chroot
