Re: QtMoko v24
but we dont have busybox in debian. and be thankful for that! in my experience, busybox is applicable for _very_ limited devices only. and the fr is certainly not one of those. Is it possible to do something similar with standard debian logger? standard syslog should offer -C for that. whith rsyslog one could use log rotation and delete older logs (i for one prefer to have logs available longer than just a few hours and as file, not just in-memeory), see: http://wiki.rsyslog.com/index.php/DailyLogRotation another clue would be queued operations, mentioned in the man page. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Ever tried aptitude search busybox ??? Not only it's part of Debian, but it's used in Debian's initrd, i.e. in most desktop installations. Actually, having just tried aptitude search busybox, I see that not only there is a busybox package, but there's even a busybox-syslogd package in unstable, which provides the same feature as my script (in a more verbose way, with more bells and whistles).

Re: QtMoko v24
Hi Radek, thanks for your work and the last version. I just have two questions: Did you upgrade the Debian version for squeeze? I would like to use more repositories, is there a way to increase the /var/apt size? On Thu, Jun 3, 2010 at 04:35, Radek Polak pson...@seznam.cz wrote: Hi Stefan, but we dont have busybox in debian.

Levy wrote: Did you upgrade the Debian version for squeeze? Not yet, we need to port bluetooth to bluez4 api before moving to newer debian. But if you dont need bluetooth you can upgrade using apt. It worked for me. I would like to use more repositories, is there a way to increase the /var/apt size? Yes, but you will need SD card with ext2/ext3 filesystem. The small size is because it's tmpfs because jffs2 does not support mmap. If you are running from SD card you can just: umount /var/cache/apt or completely remove this mount from fstab. If you run from NAND, mount ext2/ext3 filesystem from SD card on that directory.

This is interesting. However i still dont like the idea of having duplicated programs in the image. Busybox duplicates all those command line utils like ls, cp and so on.

Re: QtMoko v24
Thanks Radek, This is looking great, and pretty fast too. I did notice that a quick click of the power button used to put the FR into suspend, but that no longer seems to work, is that by design or not?
