Hello Neil, I agree with your points. I also know we have discussed this all before it is a sbox2/sbox/mud/oe and the "standard debian build tools" disc. As far as I am concern I would only thrust packages that where compiled by somebody trusted by/in the community. Next to your points I guess there is a huge need for simple packaging of for example python Apps. There are also requirement from the open-source/GPL side of things where you have to be able to deliver the sources of the packages you distribute. For most problems encountered different people found a solutions The latest and greatest thing I tried was the mamona project. It shows that it's possible to create a bleeding edge/open-source distro without the sbox/vmware for the nokia devices. http://dev.openbossa.org/trac/mamona (oe based distro) http://mud-builder.garage.maemo.org/index.php (mud builder) http://khertan.net/softwares/pypackager.php (PyPackager is a small gui tool to create debian package on a maemo device) http://raemo.garage.maemo.org/ (Access a device to perform testing) greetings _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
