Re: /etc/init.d/ssh stop does not stop ssh on the N900

Better get used to it - upstart has been standard on several distros for a few years now (Ubuntu, Fedora and maybe the next Debian release). -- Aj. ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
Re: GSOC Project: eBook Reader
On Tue, 23 Mar 2010, Oliver Haag wrote: Okular should be a pretty good base, it supports many formats and is Qt-based (Hope there aren't too many KDE-dependencies...). I'll take a closer look at the source the next days. There's another eBook-Software in the repos called FBReader, maybe that is already known but wanted to write it here anyway in case it wasn't seen. I've tried it out and it doesn't seem to be touch-friendly but it looks like it supports more eBook-only-formats, maybe these could be ported (When the other things are running fine :D). You've been reading my mind haven't you? :-) It has to be said, Evince is pretty good for PDF (but I dont know if that build includes DJVU support?). The other two major formats that I would love to see supported are CHM and ePub. For CHM, have a look at ChmSee (thought it uses GTK+). kchmviewer uses Qt but might have too many dependencies on KDE libs. I was hoping to look at some of these packages myself but Ive not had much spare time. -- Aj. ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
Re: A proper home page in maemo.org with help wiki for each app in Extras
On Fri, 12 Feb 2010, Sascha Mäkelä wrote: While writing help files for my current project, I came to a conclusion that it would be easier to have the app simply point to a wiki page. This way a new version of the app would not be needed for changes/corrections in the documentation. What about providing the help as a separate package? That way, you can distribute help updates any time you like. You could also make it a dependency of your app to ensure it always gets installed alongside your app. -- Aj. ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

On Tue, 9 Feb 2010, Jeremiah Foster wrote: Exactly. Thanks for pointing this out Marius. Unless I am mistaken Ajai, you were referring to building multiple *package* binaries, correct? (Not multiple application/runtime binaries.) Just to clarify with an example: when installing say, ruby, there is a main binary but also additional binaries in the package (irb, etc) - those should all be in the same package. Things like MySQL or openssh have separate client and server tool so those should be separate package. Am I correct? -- Aj. ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

Re: Packaging questions
On Mon, 8 Feb 2010, Jeremiah Foster wrote: Im trying to create my first Maemo package Awesome! :) Yes, Maemo needs more developers and more software! :-) That depends, but for the current situation, I would say no. Firstly, creating multiple binary packages is harder than a single binary, though not by much. I recommend you start out with just a single binary if you can. OK, but Im curious: what would be an example of a package with multiple binaries? 2) I got an error saying it could not find package.orig.tar.gz - what does that mean? This means you do not have an original tarball of your package that has the suffix orig.tar.gz. Take a look at the debian documentation here which should help: http://www.debian.org/doc/maint-guide/ch-first.en.html#s-dh_make So, to clarify, I need to have a tarball of the original source inside the untarred tarball build directory? :-) You have to specify the license the software is under yourself. From the man page for dh_make: OPTIONS -c, --copyright license Use license type in copyright file. license can be gpl, lgpl, artistic or bsd. If this field is not specified the copyright file has a space to fill in which sort of license is used. The field is case-insensitive so -c GPL works as well as -c gpl. I was following the Maemo docs which dont mention anything about licenses. Maybe there ought to be a link to the dh_make man page from there? You may want to review this document: http://www.debian.org/doc/maint-guide/ Thanks for this and the other links. -- Aj. ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

Which seems to imply that dh_make creates the orig tarball... UPDATE: I used the -f flag to point to the original tarball outside the build directory and it seems to have worked. -- Aj. ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
Packaging questions
Im trying to create my first Maemo package and I had a few questions: 1) This package has a main binary, but also has additional binaries/scripts and library files, so do I select 'Multiple binaries' when running dh_make ? 2) I got an error saying it could not find package.orig.tar.gz - what does that mean? 3) The summary dh_make printed said the license was 'blank' ? -- Aj. ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
