Do you know where I can find an official upstream git (or other VC) repository, then? I haven't been able to figure out where Marcus' is, or if he even has one--there's no mention of any version-control repositories on the tangogps.org web-site, as far as I can tell, and I haven't been able to elicit VC information from Marcus. It would be really nice if we could all have a common frame of reference for our development, so that we could easily merge changes from each other. I've been using Bazaar, and have initialised my own repository from a release tarball, which kind-of stinks. It looks like there are actually some things missing from the tarballs, which stinks more :( > Currently I only have a set of patches that add support for libgps. I have a patch that makes it possible to scale the details on maps (e.g.: text, icons, line-widths) and change the amount of detail shown without zooming the map; and another patch that adds VisualIDs <http://scribblethink.org/Work/VisualIDs/visualids.html> for POIs. > > Is there an IRC channel? > > There is #tangogps which is of course completely unofficial :-) Indeed--I've spent some time there. Actually, I got the impression that I was the only person there actually hacking on tangoGPS (in which case, shouldn't it actually be called "##tangogps"...?). Also, if I understand correctly, Marcus is somewhat hostile toward that channel--certainly he doesn't use it himself; and it seems at least somewhat strange to be building a community around something that the upstream maintainer has himself deprecated. So, I was wondering if--even hoping that--there was some other venue that was preferred by upstream; if #tangogps is *competing* with some `more official' venue, then it seems kind-of lousy to fracture the community like that. -- "Don't be afraid to ask (λf.((λx.xx) (λr.f(rr))))." _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
