Nope, prepaid, thanks for the heads-up. I wanted to check whether it
makes any difference that I had the option since before the change but
the "3" site is unresponsive as usual.

Back on topic, not much to add to the tips alread mentioned, save that
you can drop me a line with whatever alpha version you'd like to test.

Andrea, pardon my asking but... what is wrong with the internal data
counter? (Settings, Phone, Home/Roaming Data counter)
I guess it could be accessed programmatically.

Incidentally, I have the same option and it is 3GB/month, not 100MB/day
(though it used to be like that a few months ago).

new idea: brainstorm, talk or what else?

2009-12-13 Thread Andrea Borgia
Hi, all.

I believe I have a rather nifty idea for a new app but I don't have the
capabilities required to develop it myself or, most importantly, the
time required to acquire them and code the app.

So, I'd like to describe it and pass it on to somebody looking for an
idea... question is, where and how?

1) on Brainstorm? It's not really a problem in search of a solution, I
have a clear picture of what it's supposed to do.

2) on Talk? This would allow for a wide participation, but again the
idea is fairly clear. Also, it's not even a "porting wish" so the wiki
is also out.

3) here in maemo-developers? Seems to be the best channel, is it acceptable?

Tnx,
Andrea.

As an addition, I would like to see a button to remove the app
altogether, i.e. also from devel. It happened to me that I reported a
bug on an application that was removed from testing as requested by its
maintainer but not from devel.

Another idea that comes to my mind is the possibility of subscribing to
package events: build (ok, failed, etc.), entering devel/testing/extras,
demotion and so on. For example, I'd like to be notified when some of my
favourite packages move into testing so that I can retest them.

Ideally, it should behave as a pipeline: a new entry in devel shouldn't
reset karma/quarantine for an earlier version in testing. Only when they
happen to be together in testing, you could perhaps automatically clear
the earlier version from the queue and restart counting.

The application manager already pops up a note to the effect that knives

I'm not against your proposal, I simply feel the top issue to solve is

As one of those newcomers, I thank you again for the great job you did
in conducting the marathon.

I share your comments on the process, but I want to add a tiny thought:
the all-together testing style left me wondering whether everybody else
was checking the same issues over and over (lots of people checking /opt
for a package) instead of splitting tasks to cover more ground.

I guess for the future I'll adopt a few packages and keep an eye on
them, makes more sense to me, though the idea of participating in the
marathon was indeed a good motivator to start testing.

liblzo2-2 wanted, preferably alive

Hi, guys.

I need this library to install openvpn. According to
http://maemo.org/packages/view/liblzo2-2/ it is available in the SDK
repository (not supposed to be used on a real device, I know) and in the
root fs itself.

Thing is, my N900 doesn't have it and I believe I did not remove it. I
am running 1.2009.41-10, the stock firmware from the summit.

Last time I tried to override a system library, I had to call the
fire-brigade ;-) so I'd rather avoid a repeat :-)

Sorry to bother you but... I am the one responsible for said mess.

Jeremiah pointed out a rather quick solution, which I implemented for my
openvpn package, namely another upload with an "epoch" setting: just a
changelog addition, no other changes.

I had the misfortune of my N810 getting a bad touchscreen so now I have
to reinstall everything on the replacement and, of course, osm2go is not
installable.

Do you mind if I go ahead and upload the fixed package?
Or would you rather do it yourself?
