You want to keep the repositories for exactly that reason. People can keep using their devices with no disruption of service.

It's what we've got right now, more or less. As a developer, this is fine - I can use PR1.2 packages. As a user, this is a nightmare. My applications disappear forever for reasons that are unclear to me. When I contact a developer, they say "wait for the PR1.2 release to come out". When I ask Nokia, they say "We do not discuss release dates for future firmware updates". It's better than the current situation in that packages not using 1.2 functionality aren't broken, but it's still not optimal and I feel it should be avoided at all costs. Remember, you also break packages DEPENDING on the ones using 1.2 functionality. The disruption could be very large if, say, Nokia were to update glibc. > Graham > ___ > maemo-developers mailing list > maemo-developers@maemo.org > https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers signature.asc Description: PGP signature ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

There is little point in having repositories for old versions if nothing can ever get promoted into them because there are very few testers left. Unless they are really intended just to be archives: they work while the new version is being introduced (like where we are at at the moment with PR1.2) but once the new version has been out a few weeks, they just drop into archive mode with no promotions, just an archive of software for the old version. > > One suggestion would be to promote all versions simultaneously, but > > there are obvious drawbacks with that! > > That would make the most recent repo the best supported and tested repo. > Older repos might or might not work. But then again, that is what -devel > is now too. Actually I would make the process "make all versions eligible for promotion simultaneously" -- once the latest version is tested the developer can promote the other versions without QA when they wish but they can choose to do some more testing themselves if they wish. In an earlier discussion I had proposed another alternative: have a single repository but multiple autobuilders feeding it. I could submit to either the PR1.1 or PR1.2 autobuilder but the output would go into a single place. This seems more efficient than the "build with PR1.1 and if that fails try PR1.2" option but otherwise quite similar. The only problem I have noticed so far with that would come when you introduced a new version which made use of some PR1.2 feature, and hence was built with PR1.2. At that time, the PR1.1 version would no longer be installable (as it has a lower version number and is in the same repository). But for cases like this, where PR1.2 is expected to be fairly quickly adopted once it is eventually released, this would probably work well enough.

No thanks :) Just create two repositories. It worked fine for Chinook and Diablo, and developers uploaded the same source package to Chinook and Diablo without problems until the Chinook autobuilder was closed down. The situation with pre-PR1.2 and PR1.2 is similar to Chinook and Diablo. We can think of PR1.2 as "Maemo 5.1" the same way Diablo has been "Maemo 4.1". As for testing/QA: Testers will simply use the repository for which they have got firmware on their devices. Which is why I support the idea of community firmware testing (which would allow both testers and developers to test apps on the real devices with the real firmware). Do you really want people to test apps in the SDK and pretend that they will work the same way on a real device?

Re: PR1.2 SDK for Extras-devel: how to solve?
I would like to throw in my 2 pence as well for what its worth. The idea is to give a choice to the developer to choose which SDK the autobuilder needs to use and to which repo the app needs to go to. Providing an option in the debian control file to build against the user specified SDK since the developer knows what SDK he/she uses. e.g: Xsbc-sdk : PR1.2 Also, we can maintain n and n-1 version of the repository at any time to limit the number of maemo OS trunks. does it look feasible ? > - Original Message - > From: Andrew Flegg > Sent: 04/07/10 03:41 PM > To: Bryan Jacobs > Subject: Re: PR1.2 SDK for Extras-devel: how to solve? > On Wed, Apr 7, 2010 at 15:13, Bryan Jacobs wrote: > > It seems to me that the real problem is actually the difficulty in > implementing #4 above.

GSoC project discussion - MeeGo cloud storage support
Hi, First of all, I'm sorry I'm posting this so close to the deadline, I know how important it is to discuss any idea with developers and possible mentors beforehand. I'm interested in working on the cloud storage support project for the Maemo and MeeGo community. Before boring you with details about myself, I'd like to present you my ideas and hopefully get some feedback that will help me improve my final application. My proposed solution involves developing several separate applications that will communicate over DBus. The main application (which I will call cloud-storage for now) will be responsible for detecting which cloud storage services are available and will handle general configuration (like what folders to share, which services to use for each folder etc.). It will export a DBus object probably called com.meego.CloudStorage. It will watch for changes in files and folders and automatically notify the corresponding service implementations. A different application will provide an UI for configuring the service, implemented using Qt. Every cloud storage service will be implemented as a different process which will export a DBus object (something like com.meego.CloudStorage.Service.). The object will include methods for uploading files and folders and signals for mirroring changes on the remote side. Each service will need to be configured separately by providing username, password and other necessary information. Services that I find interesting to implement first include Ubuntu One, Dropbox and Google Docs (Google now allows storing any file online, not only documents), with others following. The reasoning behind using DBus is that it allows great flexibility in many ways including programming language, perhaps also different implementations for the same service. It also allows other applications to interact or monitor the syncing process. Adding or removing services will be just as easy as installing some package. DBus being the only major dependency (apart from any libraries which cloud storage service implementation might use), the framework should have no problem running on both Maemo and MeeGo, or even on desktop environments. So, I'm eager to know what you think about the feasibility of this idea. I have intentionally omitted details about the implementation or specification, those will be included in my application. Right now, I want to know if implementing this over DBus seems like a good idea. An initial draft of my application supportiof my application supporting this idea will follow very soon.

If this is true, this means that applications get tested on the platform the QA testers are on. This doesn't guarantee coverage for any particular application/SDK combination, but it does mean that things that are important to (the QA) users will get more throughly used. I'm not convinced that's a bad thing. As long as the QA users make both positive and negative bug reports, I think this will probably work out while not totally satisfying (b) above. (a) is OK because each QA tester just uses the repos matching their device, and upgrades whenever the next level meets their own personal comfort level with the bleeding-edge-to-stability spectrum. > One suggestion would be to promote all versions simultaneously, but > there are obvious drawbacks with that! I wouldn't do that. I'd promote things when you have enough negative bug reports about the particular version. Some things will never get promoted if nobody loves them.

As I told you before, arm-for-testing on doesn't enable a11y for all

GTK_MODULES=gail:hail:atk-bridge.
arm-for-testing on change the launcher of the supported applications
in order to be sure that GTK_MODULES has the correct values.

You could try the same suggestion I made in the previous mail related
with the contacts application. Try to change the calculator launcher,
in order to use the summoner and have the envvar with the correct
value:
>> #!/bin/sh
>> unset AF_DEFINES_SOURCED
>> source /etc/osso-af-init/af-defines.sh
>> export GTK_MODULES=gail:hail:atk-bridge
>> exec maemo-summoner /usr/bin/osso-addressbook.launch
In the same way, you could create a simple gtk application, without
maemo-launcher, and then try to execute it by hand in this way:
$GTK_MODULES=gail:hail:atk-bridge ./my-gtk-application
> Thanks a lot for your help.
You are welcome, sorry for not be enough clear in my explanations, and
thanks to test it. I have "Try if all a11y pieces works on n900" in my
TODO list for a long time.

PR1.2 SDK for Extras-devel: how to solve?
Hi, The number of issues being caused by the deployment of PR1.2 SDK to the fremantle autobuilder is becoming critical. It doesn't even matter when PR1.2 is released, as we should have a way of dealing with this in-place for the next upgrade. BACKGROUND ~~ After the PR1.2 SDK was released, Niels deployed it to the autobuilder; enacting a plan which was discussed on this list. This has caused problems with libhildon dependencies, but the problems aren't just limited to that library: http://lists.maemo.org/pipermail/maemo-developers/2010-March/025668.html Both Niels and the Council believe we should do something to assist. WHAT WE SHOULD DO ~ We *need* to do something, both to improve the situation in -devel and -testing today, and test an approach for the next upgrade. The main requirements here are, I think: * It's not an excessive amount of work * It's a viable long term strategy * The QA process doesn't get broken Thoughts and comments from developers, or anyone else with a idea, will be much appreciated. OPTIONS ~~~ 1) Deploy SDKs as they are released; treat -devel and -testing as trunk. This is what we have now, I think we can say it doesn't work if there's going to be more than a few days between SDK release and device upgrade. Since Nokia doesn't pre-announce release dates, and last minute bugs could cause problems; I think we can rule this one out. 2) Revert the builder. This is basically a step backwards. "Changing the builder config is easy. Cleaning up -devel and rebuilding the affected packages is quite some work as we don't have any scripts for that made yet." 3) Hack the SDK, create some kind of hybrid. This'd be bad enough if limited to just libhildon, but isn't viable and WILL cause unforeseen problems. Veto :-) 4) Create separate repos, build queues for pre- and post-1.2. Similar to what's been done for Extras proper. "Creating the repos will be about a day work, but the part that sits on top of that (management scripts, Packages interface, QA queue) will probably take a week of work." There are hard issues around QA here. 5) Try building in each SDK in turn. My suggestion; when someone uploads to "fremantle" auto-builder it attempts to build the package against the PR1.1 SDK. If it succeeds, it goes into Extras-devel. If it fails to build, it gets built with the PR1.2 SDK, and so on. For an app with compile time symbol resolution (e.g. C/C++), this'd handle both cases quite nicely. Python apps would have to depend on the specific versions of bindings which gave them the features they wanted - again, not too much of a problem. At extras(-stable) promotion time you could even decide, based on actual binary package dependencies, whether to put in fremantle-1.2 or both fremantle-1.2 & fremantle extras repos. This would fix another common complain, "what if I don't upgrade for a few weeks". Larger packages could be prevent from being tried to built twice by stating a forced build dependency on a PR1.2 version of any system package. Some software won't install from -devel and -testing as it does now, but that will be reduced to the set of software which is actually using features that are unavailable. A HAM patch could grey out applications which were uninstallable, or show some other indication. This is, effectively, reinventing the more intelligent dpkg-shlibdeps: http://wiki.debian.org/Projects/ImprovedDpkgShlibdeps However, it deals with the following three circumstances: 1) Application uses API which has changed in later SDK. This will be built with PR1.1 SDK, succeeds and goes into Extras-devel. Can be promoted to Extras-testing but there's no clear way for a tester to know it won't work if their device is running the latest OS. 2) Application uses API which is unchanged in later SDK. This will be built with PR1.1 SDK, succeeds and goes into Extras-devel. Can be promoted to Extras-testing and tested on any device with PR1.1 or PR1.2. Once promoted it COULD go into fremantle and fremantle-1.2. 3) Application uses API which is introduced in later SDK. This will be built with PR1.1 SDK and fail. It will be rebuilt with PR1.2 SDK, succeed and go into Extras-devel. Can be promoted to Extras-testing and tested by testers using the most recent release. Once promoted it will go into fremantle-1.2. 6) Case-by-case basis. Developer complains: add a temporary exception to autobuilder to build $APPNAME with PR1.0/1.1 SDK, but goes into the shared extras-devel as now.

The proper location for the icons is in: /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/hildon/ Thank you for clarifying that. Is there a reason why "scalable" was chosen? AFAIK for desktop systems this is supposed to hold "scalable" graphics like SVGs while bitmaps icons are supposed to go under /usr/share/icons/hicolor/AxB/ (AxB being the dimension) (or perhaps I know wrong). I would also like to know this, as I was going to edit a few wiki pages that mention install locations for icons. However, all the locations above seem to work just fine (I tested with a few applications), and the freedesktop.org icon naming specification suggests that ‘apps’ is the correct subdirectory to use: http://standards.freedesktop.org/icon-naming-spec/icon-naming-spec-latest.html#context Daniel, is /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/hildon/ the canonical location for all application icons on Fremantle, and if so, where is this documented? -- David King | http://amigadave.com/ | dav...@openismus.com ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

I am trying to get the object of "Calculator" app on N900. I really dont
know how to do that. where as on desktop I did like this for opening an
Totem application.
totem = tree.root.application('totem')
MovieMenu=totem.menu('Movie').click()
This justed worked on Desktop. Whereas to get the object of "Calculator "
App on Maemo. I did this
Calc=tree.root.application('/usr/bin/osso_calculator')
searching for child of {root}: "/usr/bin/osso_calculator" application
(attempt 3)
searching for child of {root}: "/usr/bin/osso_calculator" application
(attempt 4)
... and the trying went on.
So could you please suggest me how to get the object of "Calculator" and
click one button with that.
Thanks a lot for your help.

As far as I remember arm-for testing just enable the accessibility
support for the applications included in the testing framework.
What it does is replace the launcher file application, in order to
launch the applications supported with GTK_MODULES=gail:hail:atk-bridge.
Remember that in maemo there are a maemo-launcher/invoker
application. Applications are loaded using this application.
I bet that contacts was not included in this framework, as it is a
really recent application.
You could try to modify by hand the contacts launch file, replacing
/usr/bin/osso-addresbook to something like this:
#!/bin/sh
unset AF_DEFINES_SOURCED
source /etc/osso-af-init/af-defines.sh
export GTK_MODULES=gail:hail:atk-bridge
exec maemo-summoner /usr/bin/osso-addressbook.launch
That is what arm-for-testing does (more or less, AFAIK) for the
supported applications.
Note: probably you should require to reboot the device after that.

Hi, same here, so it might be a general problem with the Diablo promoter. Besides taking 9 days for the package interface to recognize that a package has been updated, and then complaining that the package didn't have a proper description (which it certainly has). The package icon is not imported, either. Please somebody look at the Diablo package interface to see what's going wrong. For information, my stuck Diablo package is 'fmradio-player 2010.03.20-2'.
