Hamster is time tracking for individuals. It helps you to keep track of how much time you have spent during the day on activities you choose to track.

You can use the usually stable master or download stable releases.

Debian-based: apt-get install gettext intltool python-gconf python-xdg gir1.2-gconf-2.0 RPM-based: yum install gettext intltool gnome-python2-gconf

./waf configure build --prefix=/usr/local
sudo ./waf install

If you upgraded from an existing installation make sure to kill the running daemons:

pkill -f hamster-service
pkill -f hamster-windows-service

Now restart your panels/docks and you should be able to add Hamster!

Previously Hamster was installed everywhere under hamster-applet. As the applet is long gone, the paths and file names have changed to hamster-time-tracker. To clean up previous installs follow these steps:

git checkout d140d45f105d4ca07d4e33bcec1fae30143959fe
./waf configure build --prefix=/usr
sudo ./waf uninstall
