"(such as some remaining documentation)" Oh no Please no !!!!
Did you think it s possible to keep it in a separate package as for example there is still some python modules which has an interactive help() and it s really usefull for onboard developpers like me (i don't know if i not the only one :) ) Thanks 2009/11/10 Anderson Lizardo <anderson.liza...@openbossa.org>: > Hi, > > The PyMaemo team is pleased to announce the final release of PyMaemo > for Maemo 5! > > For users, no manual installation steps are necessary.
