Spek status update
by Alexander Kojevnikov
Just a quick update on the status of the project.
Spek is now translatable, the next version will feature at least these translations: Dutch, German, Russian, Swedish and Ukrainian. We use Transifex to manage translations. Feel free to translate it into your language or to improve an existing translation. Transifex is a very easy to use tool, you don’t have to know anything about programming to translate.
Some progress has been made on the packaging front, Spek packages are now available in Arch Linux, FreeBSD and Gentoo repositories.
There’s also an official Ubuntu PPA for Spek containing packages for Maverick and Natty. I will keep the PPA up-to-date with future Spek and Ubuntu releases.
I also created a package for Debian which needs a sponsor. If you are a Debian Developer I would appreciate a review and eventually an upload. The package can be found on mentors.debian.net.
Last but not least, the next version will show some OS X love. Many OS X specific bugs have already been fixed or are scheduled to be fixed for the next release.
I expect to release Spek 0.7 sometime this spring. If you are feeling adventurous, try Spek from git master, compilation instructions are on the wiki.
Just piping in to say that I only just found Spek a few weeks back and I love it. Does what it should and nicely at that.
Keep up the good work!
Thanks JR, glad you find Spek useful :)
I’d suggest getting involved with the Debian multimedia team, you would probably find a sponsor there, especially if you are willing to help with other multimedia apps/libs.
Thanks mate, I will contact them.
Spek is great! Useful right out of the box in teh windows platform, I’m really looking forward to see the zoom/scroll feature for detailed spectrum analysis!
really love this program. been using it for months now. just checked out spectro new update. still dont like it cause im unable to drag in file and resize window.i like the the freq range they added.so i was wondering if you will be able to add the freq range feature onto spek. thanks for making this beautiful program.
@duckie: Could you elaborate on the “frequency range” feature?
i think you’ll understand it better with these screenshots. it’s the bottom left box.
