Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work):
Mandriva RPMs can be found here: http://rpmlinux.org
Qtrainer is a personal home trainer for Qt4.3 or higher.
(It runs on KDE3,KDE4,Windows - On linux you need Qt4.3 to be installed)
Qtrainer plots your progress, gives you tips and training schedules.
It also lets you plan your trainings.
Qtrainer also has an online database of exercises.
At the moment only for fitness/power training but it will support a lot of sports in the future.
Qtrainer reached version 0.5.2. A lot of bugs are now fixed and qtrainer is beginning to be very usable
Thanks!

About the ALT-linux packages: The packager noted:
I think you better place notice that ALT Linux rpm-spec rules are more
strict and users are better to look at spec first to make sure they`ll
be able to install package at their other rpm-based distros.
All ALT-builds will be available at http://sisyphus.ru/srpm/qtrainer
(link will become alive in a couple of days)

and:
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-573760.html

Mandriva 2008.0 i686 rpm here: http://mandriva.99k.org/
Hello! All the info about the next Qtrainer release can be found here: http://tuxer.ulyssis.be/homepage/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=14 I am using my forum as a Blog :-) If you have feature requests: post them on them in that topic on the forum. Bye!
Hi, i tried to download the source of 0.5, but it give me the source of 0.4.2 back :( i tried also to download the source from the homepage, but there point the link of 0.5 also to 0.4.2.
idd, the link was wrong and still pointed to the old source. I fixed it now. Bye
The server which is hosting Qtrainer will be down for 2-3 days. They are installing new machines :-) Bye!
btw: at the moment qtrainer is a QT4 only application. It doesn't use KDE4. But in the future I plan to use KDE4. (plasma, system tray, ...) Bye
What about an italian translation? Anyway this software is amazing!
The language strings are not yet finale and will change a lot in the months to come. According to my personal feature plan, all language strings of the powertraining-part of qtrainer will be stable in the Qtrainer0.6 release. I will make a dutch translation then. When someone else sends me an italian translation, Qtrainer will also be available in Italian. Translating Qt applications is very simple: http://doc.trolltech.com/4.3/linguist-manual.html Bye!
The next version of Qtrainer will be amazing...just look at the new screencat: http://tuxer.ulyssis.be/homepage/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=9&p=59#p59 or: http://tuxer.ulyssis.be/homepage/images/qtrainer/screencast_0.5_1_XVID.avi
Hello, I am working on the next release of Qtrainer. I have put a screencast online, showing some features of the next release. It can be found here: http://tuxer.ulyssis.be/homepage/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=8&p=40#p35 Bye!
Hi, I compiled it and it works...great :) I hopy to see new versions soon :) btw.: your app has no icon...
Hi, I would like to compile it using Portage (Packet Manager in Gentoo). I would be very happy if you would be able to support and offer an eBuild for Gentoo.
I have launched the Qtrainer Forum: http://tuxer.ulyssis.be/homepage/forum/ So users can talk about The sports (currently only fitness/powertraining) and the program. I also made a new homepage: http://tuxer.ulyssis.be/homepage/qtrainer.html Bye!
I use Gentoo, is there an eBuild for the app?
I don't have gentoo, and know nothing about eBuild at the moment. But I will search for it on the internet en try to make an eBuild package. You can still compile the source-code with qmake i guess?
That's exactly what I was searching. No chance to get it to work with KDE 3.x? :(
Yes, it will work on KDE3.x I have KDE3.x myself. You don't need KDE4 at all...at the moment Qtrainer only uses QT4. So you have to install Qt4: libqt4-core and libqt4-gui but those libraries can co-exist with qt3 and KDE3. just use adept/synaptic/yast/... to install qt4, then Qtrainer will work on your computer. thanks for the comment
I have noticed that I have forgotten to put the Makefile in the source package. But the qt-project file is enough. For compiling do: qmake-qt4 qtrainer.pro make that's all :-) Have fun!
