There is one issue which means that MokoMakefile cannot change over to using the new area yet. I have discussed this with John, but am reporting here so people don't continually ask me why MokoMakefile hasn't changed yet. The issue is that new OpenMoko mtn database snapshot area at http://downloads.openmoko.org/OE/snapshots/ only contains a single unversioned mtn database. MokoMakefile currently identifies the user's monotone version, and downloads the correctly versioned mtn database from http://www.openembedded.org/snapshots/ (look there to see the naming convention and list of 6 different mtn versions that are supported). Only if it cannot match the exact version does it fall-back to using the unversioned snapshot. Unless OpenMoko is going to require a specific Linux distribution and monotone version for building the OpenMoko distribution, I would prefer to wait until OpenMoko replicates this facility for their developers before I change the MokoMakefile, otherwise we will have *many* new users having problems with monotone database migrations, and negating the ease of setup that MokoMakefile currently provides. I have given John details on how to do this - I'm sure Graeme or Mickey can get the older mtn binaries from Koen to implement it. I've asked John to let me know as soon as there are correctly labelled versions in http://downloads.openmoko.org/OE/snapshots/, and I will immediately update MokoMakefile to use the new area when that happens. -- Rod Whitby -- MokoMakefile author _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
