Hi Carlos, is there any progress? Where should we discuss issues/suggestions related to this? I have one question/suggestion. Since the hacker edition is unsupported can we as a community push some changes to hacker edition firmware hosted on maemo site (i.e. kernel,initfs,rootfs)? I know this is not possible for supported releases for many reasons but hacker edition is different so maybe some tweaks can be applied and we could affect what is there by default? Maybe there are some useful tweaks that are cumbersome to install for some less advanced users but good enough to be in the firmware by default. As for kernel few examples are - proper YUV420 support in framebuffer update ioctl, stock N770 kernel has this broken, fix is easy, would be useful for mplayer - HW rotation support in framebuffer update ioctl - maybe some things taken from newer N800 kernel, tearsync support would be nice as one example but this is currently not working for me, sadly I got no reply to http://maemo.org/pipermail/maemo-developers/2007-May/010156.html As for initfs maybe bootmenu could be useful. As for rootfs maybe we could add some packages by default (like ogg support etc) or in future tweak some packages (SDL, X server). So what is the idea, is Hacker Edition made exclusively by Nokia (perhaps blessed by its lawyers or something) or can this be community thing so such tweaks are possible? Also I'd like to know where are you heading with next OS2007 HE release. Do you plan to switch to newer kernel or stick with old 2.6.16 and initfs? Would be nice to know if backporting things to 2.6.16 is waste of time or not.
