PySide: Python for Qt version 1.0.0~rc1 for Maemo 5 released
[cross posting to maemo-developers and pymaemo-developers mailing lists] The PySide team is proud to announce the first release candidate of PySide: Python for Qt version 1.0.0 for Maemo 5. PySide provides a complete set of LGPL-licensed Qt bindings for Python, including full QML and QtMobility support. The binary packages for PySide 1.0.0~rc1 are already available in the maemo.org extras-devel repository. To use them, install the python-pyside metapackage, which depends on every individual module package. The source code packages can be acquired by referring to our download wiki page [1] or by pulling the relevant tagged versions from our git repositories [2]. Major changes since 1.0.0~beta5 === Since beta 5, no new features have been added. Instead, a total of 28 bugs have been fixed. See the list of fixed bugs at the end of this message. Path towards 1.0 release We intend this to be the release candidate in the literal sense of the term: only major regressions and critical bugs will be fixed between the release candidate and 1.0 final. Therefore, fixes to any bugs in our Bugzilla [3] with priority less than P1 will be applied only after the 1.0 release. However, please file any bugs you find - the bug reports are vital in both increasing the PySide product quality and in ensuring that your issues get resolved in a timely manner! Barring any major quality issues, the 1.0 release will happen in two weeks from now. After that, maintenance work for fixing bugs and improving the code quality will continue, as well as work towards more substantial improvements such as Python 3 support and memory footprint optimization. About PySide PySide is the Nokia-sponsored Python Qt bindings project, providing access to not only the complete Qt 4.7 framework but also to Qt Mobility, as well as to generator tools for rapidly generating bindings for any Qt-based libraries. The PySide project is developed in the open, with all facilities you'd expect from any modern OSS project such as all code in a git repository [2], an open Bugzilla [3] for reporting bugs, and an open design process [4]. We welcome any contribution without requiring a transfer of copyright.

Transferring from one Maemo to another
Hi all, I would like to transfer my current environment on one device to another, what would be the best practice to get all contacts and messages records and PIM data, and installed apps to another new device? What if I want to selectively choose which pcakges to have? So for example, I want Joikuspot but not anything else? -Sivan ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
Re: Transferring from one Maemo to another
I'd say your best bet is using http://maemo.org/packages/view/backupmenu/ to create an offline tarball/image. Previous versions created a bit mirrored image using dd. Now it's done pre-boot using tar. Once on your new device, you can purge out unwanted packages.

Re: Transferring from one Maemo to another
I actually quite contemplated about it for a while now, you can see some old threads :) I am interested in such an endeavor for a long time now, and was waiting for the promise of the backup framework. However, I think the current backup app does that beautifully ? -Sivan On Wed, Feb 23, 2011 at 9:20 PM, Andre Klapper aklap...@openismus.com wrote: Hi, On Wed, 2011-02-23 at 21:14 +0200, Sivan Greenberg wrote: I would like to transfer my current environment on one device to another, what would be the best practice to get all contacts and messages records and PIM data, and installed apps to another new device?

Neighboring Cell Towers
Hi, I'm writing a context-aware application. I want to learn the current location using any visible cell towers and their respective signal strength. I realize I could use something like ACWP (Assisted Complementary Wireless Positioning) to get the location, but that requires network access and I don't actually care about the actual longitude and latitude; I need an environmental fingerprint. I can get the currently associated cell tower using the Phone.Net API, but I have not found an interface to obtain the visible, non-connected cell towers. Is there one? Do I have to interface with the SIM card or modem directly? If so, do you have any pointers on how I should go about doing this? What might be useful is the data that /usr/libexec/location-daemon sends to, e.g., supl.nokia.com. Any ideas on how it harvests the data?

There isn't as I understand it a way to get the unconnected cell tower info. I hadn't thought of looking for AT commands. The canonical command [1] to get location information appears to be +CMOLRG (Mobile Originated GPS Location Request). Unfortunately the N900 does not support this.

Unfortunately, the N900 does not support this one either. http://www.edaboard.com/thread121038.html ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
Re: Neighboring Cell Towers
It seems a patch to get neighboring cell towers was recently posted to the ofono list by a Nokia developer: http://lists.ofono.org/pipermail/ofono/2010-December/006829.html I will try to extract the relevant functionality and see if I can't get it to run on the N900.
