OK, images have been copied over for all but c7x0 on which Opie does not start 
(Andrea and I are working on this, probably the same issue as OE bug #4191).

Koen, would it be possible for you set me up an account on the 
angstrom-distribution.org website so I can make the announcement?

Thanks,
Paul

I just tested it on my SIMpad (sorry that it took that long). It works 
fine except that the latest SIMpad patches are missing. But this is no 
reason to block the release for the this device.

I would be happy to have an Opie release for SIMpad :).

Have you tried looking at the params at the bootloader - there was a
change some time ago root should be set to "mtdX" and not
"/dev/mtdblockX" - but this needs to be changed in the kernel config
too There was a lot of hassle with that in h5000 and h2200...

Tested spitz, most stuff is working OK. There are a number of minor issues, 
plus bug 3738 (cursor key rotation) seems not to be fixed on spitz after all. 
I'm not sure if we should hold up the release for this though, we can always 
issue package updates.

My concerns are mainly around performance of ipkg (which is bad when there are 
lots of packages in your list) and people installing stuff that won't 
actually work for them. Of course the former is ipkg's fault - it would be 
great if opkg does better with regard to performance.

Yeah, sorting out that issue is one of my next tasks.

OK, I'll leave the feed splitting issue for the moment and we'll see how it 
goes.

Thanks. I tested the h2200 opie image and everything seems to be working well.

There is the question of feeds however. I suspect this issue is going to be
contentious, but the base feed contains a huge number of packages, quite a
few of which require X and are therefore mostly of no use to Opie users. We
also need somewhere to put opie packages, which will be of no interest to
those using X-based images.


The opie packages are in the regular feeds right now. Having worked with

Is there a possibility we could look at splitting the feeds a little more? Of
course we could leave this until the next Angstrom release, although we'd
still need to put the Opie packages somewhere (then of course there's the
question of which Opie-related packages do we build - I'd err on the side of
building everything and if there are bugs we collect reports and fix them as
needed).

It is no longer correct for kernel 2.6. I fixed this and other things I

A bigscreen background would also be cool. 



I think we already have an 800x600 background, it's probably just a matter of
