Well, the binary distributor is the one who must meet the requirement to provide source on request. As maemo.org currently stands, AIUI, if it's archived and someone had the binary, they can ask for the source and receive it.

No, you if you are distributing binaries, you need to provide the sources. It doesn't matter where you go them from. This issue came up (on my radar at least), when a number of smallish distros that were just re-rolling Fedora or Debian or whatever had to provide sources. Previously they were just saying "get it upstream", but that is not allowed by the GPL. In sum, the binary distributor must distribute sources in all cases. -Jeff ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

IANAL, but as Darren pointed out, maemo.org developers using GPL licenses are, in general, not doing any binary distributions, and hence have no obligations that would be imposed from distributing binaries, i.e. AFAIK there is no clause that, in case of a SOURCE distribution, you need to retain (and later re-provide) each and every source version you might have released.

Welcome to the club! Please vote for:
https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6694
Stefan there suggests using libplayback, but it's {un,under}documented
- or at least I wasn't able to figure out how to get the desired
behaviour.
Please also share your findings if you figure out how to make it work
(at least FM Radio and Panucci also want to achieve the same thing you
want with Vagalume, but we have not figured it out yet).
HTH.

Ah, but I didn't build the binaries that maemo.org is distributing, maemo.org did. Additionally, I have provided source for the works that I have distributed - I've only distributed it to maemo.org, so my GPL commitments are satisfied. > > Another way is to ship sources with the binary. > > And finally, the one you may be alluding to, the written offer to > provide source code, valid for at least three years, to provide the > source code on request. Surely that means that maemo.org need to provide source for the binaries that they have built and distributed, and as they don't automatically provide source with each binary they distribute, need to satisfy the 3 years availability requirement. > > So in the case where maemo.org is merely providing a platform for > someone to share GPL licenced products, all we need to do is give a link > back to the place the source package, or even forward on the written > offer that the packager gave us. But, I provided the source to maemo.org via dput to the autobuilder. I have made no further commitment to anyone, and the way I see it, don't need to. I'm not trying to be contentious, or have a rant about freedom. I just want to understand my position and maemo.org's position, with respect to the requirement to provide source code.

Hi, Darren Long wrote: > Hmm. IANAL, but in my naivety, I would have thought that maemo.org would > have to provide source for the binaries they (have) distribute(d). Indeed! But the source and the binaries are not the same thing. There are a few ways to deal with the source requirement - and if you are merely redistributing binaries made by someone else, you don't need to provide sources, you only need to be able to point someone to the sources. Another way is to ship sources with the binary. And finally, the one you may be alluding to, the written offer to provide source code, valid for at least three years, to provide the source code on request. So in the case where maemo.org is merely providing a platform for someone to share GPL licenced products, all we need to do is give a link back to the place the source package, or even forward on the written offer that the packager gave us.

How to change button shape?
Hi, hildon buttons can change their shape and their corners aren't always round. One example are those three toggle buttons in the top row of the calender menu. This particular type of reshape seems to happen magically once those buttons are inside a hbox. But there's also the popup keyboard with the "abc" button which doesn't show the round corners at the bottom. I have a similar setup and also want those bottom corners to not be round. How is this accomplished? How can i influence the shape of such buttons explicitely?

Hi,
I'm trying to make the background of a Desktop Widget semi-transparent
using the cairo graphics library. The widget is written in Python and
the only examples of this I've found are using C (I don't know much C
-- I wasn't even able to apply the examples to Python).
I haven't tried in Python, but there's this blog entry by Zaheer Abbas
Merali which explains how to do it:
http://zaheer.merali.org/articles/2009/10/12/maemo-widget-experience-circular-clock-with-transparent-background/
Hope that helps,
marcoil
This is the current code (that doesn't work -- the background appears
as a black box)
def __init__(self):
hildondesktop.HomePluginItem.__init__(self)
...
self..connect("screen-changed", self.screen_changed)
self.connect("expose-event", self.expose)
def expose(self, widget, event):
cr = self.window.cairo_create()
cr.set_source_rgba(1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 0.0) # Transparent
# Draw the background
cr.set_operator(cairo.OPERATOR_SOURCE)
cr.paint()
# draw rounded rect
width, height = self.allocation[2], self.allocation[3]
#/* a custom shape, that could be wrapped in a function */
x0 = 0 #/*< parameters like cairo_rectangle */
y0 = 0
radius = min(15, width/2, height/2) #/*< and an approximate
curvature radius */
x1 = x0 + width
y1 = y0 + height
cr.move_to (x0, y0 + radius)
cr.arc (x0 + radius, y0 + radius, radius, 3.14, 1.5 * 3.14)
cr.line_to (x1 - radius, y0)
cr.arc (x1 - radius, y0 + radius, radius, 1.5 * 3.14, 0.0)
cr.line_to (x1 , y1 - radius)
cr.arc (x1 - radius, y1 - radius, radius, 0.0, 0.5 * 3.14)

cr.arc (x0 + radius, y1 - radius, radius, 0.5 * 3.14, 3.14)
cr.close_path ()
bg_color=gtk.gdk.color_parse("#00")
cr.set_source_rgba (bg_color.red / 65535.0,
bg_color.green/65535.0, bg_color.blue/65535.0, float(32767/65535.0))
cr.fill_preserve ()
# cr.set_source_rgba (0.5, 0.5, 1.0, 0.8)
# cr.stroke ()
def screen_changed(self, widget):
screen = self.get_screen()
colormap = screen.get_rgba_colormap()
self.set_colormap(colormap)
return False
What I'm trying to do is have the widget appear semi-transparent with
rounded corners (like most widgets look) but the above code does not
work at all. I do not know much about cairo and got most of that code
from Khertan's HomeIP widget for Diablo/Chinook and only modified it a
little to work with Maemo 5.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've been "banging my head
against a wall" for a while with this one.

Re: Is eventlogger el.db schema stable ?
Hi Carlos, there is the eventlogger API [1], which does the job, but AFAIK the python bindings are not there yet. In general you should not manipulate directly the database, as it is not guaranteed to be stable and as you could mess up with the UI by adding entries wrong. So the way to go is to create the python bindings to the existing eventlogger API.
