suspendprocess - poor man's power save
It has been difficult for many developers to comply with many of the recommended power-saving practices for Maemo, especially those porting apps from desktop environments. I'm not sure how many of you noticed already, but in the best hack-tradition of the N900 mikkov made a suspendprocess package, not unlike what was talked about on this list - which could allow many of these power- guzzling apps to become a little more suspend-power-friendly with little to no effort. http://maemo.org/packages/package_instance/view/fremantle_extras- devel_free_armel/suspendprocess/0.1/ Basically it is a launch-wrapper that SIGSTOPs and resumes the app it started based on the DBUS signals. I would recommend all interested parties to take a look and if it improves/helps in their apps/packages, apply it to them (or report any problems/improvement suggestions, naturally). It's not the prettiest solution and native level DBUS solution is of course still preferred by far, but if you don't have that time or luxury (or are blessed with SDL code or similar), this might come handy.

Re: [Fremantle] Compositing is disabled in fullscreen
Hi Luca, On Wed, 2010-09-08 at 17:13 +0200, Luca Donaggio wrote: Well, it could be... but I was looking at Conboy's sources and I couldn't see any obvious difference between it's interface setup and the (silly) example I included before, nor any theme-specific stuff. So why does he-fullscreen-button is semi transparent in Conboy'fullscreen mode and not in my example? I feel like I'm missing something really obvious here :-) ! I've tried your example code and I get the exact same behavior. No transparency. I've looked for differences between your code and my code, tried some things, but couldn't find anything that did affect the result. I'm quite sure that it is a problem with the compositor, because I can see the transparency if I start your example and go to fullsceen. Then quickly open and close the virtual keyboard. After that the button is transparent for a couple of seconds. Probably the virtual keyboard enables the compositor. From what I know the compositor should automatically get started when it is needed. But unfortunately I have no idea how that is determined. Maybe someone with more knowledge of Maemo internals could comment on that. I've never used the full screen button outside of Conboy and only developed it in this context. Still, I could find Maepad where the button is also working (not sure if there are more working examples). I really hope we can find out why it is working in some applications and why not in others. After that I'll happily fix this bug in HeFullscreenButton. Unfortunately I'm currently out of ideas. If you (or anyone else) have ideas/input/anything, please let me know. Sorry that I can't be more helpful right now. Cheers, Conny P.S. Now I also feel like I'm missing something totally obvious :) ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
smscon_editor_0.4.3-9 package fail to build.
Hi, That's my first package to upload so bare with me. I get a failed build but cannot see the error in the log. Here's the sources/lg: https://garage.maemo.org/builder/fremantle/smscon_editor_0.4.3-9/ The sources have been prepared with pyPackager but I had the same error on my previous effort with py2Deb. Does anyone have an idea on what to check? Thanks, Chris ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
