Selling n900

2013-01-13 Thread Tomasz Rybak
Hello.
Sorry if this is considered spam - I do not know where else
send it.
I have n900 but I do not use it anymore and it is just gathering dust.
I would like to sell it for 100EUR (+shipping), preferably
to some developer (preferably in EU).

I bought n900 in 2009; it was my main phone for 3 years.
It was restarting, so it had replaced motherboard in middle 2010.
I have never overclocked it, never installed power kernel nor CSSU.

Best regards.

I had similar problem and even filled a bug: 
https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9743
Could not reproduce it with PR1.2 so closed it.
If you want to you can reopen it - I will gladly test
some use cases.

 No, it wasn't left for later either. From my understanding, the Maemo
 Base Port is/was a requirement document for future Maemo devices. It
 never applied to the N900.

OK. thanks for the information.
As MeeGo is in the very early phase I guess there is nothing for
it yet.

On the other hand, I found following post from QtLabs blog:
http://labs.trolltech.com/blogs/2010/04/07/using-opencl-with-qt/
So it looks like there is work on integrating Qt with OpenCL
and we could expect some progress - but for now it is pure
speculation on which devices it will be available.

Re: Builder now runs PR1.2 SDK with Qt 4.6 support

  Hi,
 
  I've installed the new PR1.2 SDK on the maemo.org Extras autobuilder.
  Developers are encouraged to test their application in the PR1.2 SDK to
  see if everything still works as expected.
 
 If I understand correctly, now developers who depend on maemo.org 
 repositories to distribute their cannot distribute updates to users. 
 Users of applications in extras-devel who delete an application for some 
 reason cannot reinstall it. Since Nokia does not comment on schedule of 
 future releases, we might remain in this state for a long time.
 
 
 

Similar situation exists for packages from SDK.
I have Crash Reporter installed on my n900 (I installed
it for Bug #6334). Installed version is 1.27+0m5.
Few days ago phone displayed information about available
updates; new version of Crash Reporter was uploaded to repository.
New version is 1.29+0m5, but it is not upgradeable because of missing
dependencies:
libhildon1 = 2.2.5
lihlindonfm2 = 1.2.28.32+0m5
libosso1 = 2.29
libpixman-1-0 = 0.15.16

I assume that if someone now would have problems with the phone,
he or she would not be able to install Crash Reporter to attach
core dumps to error reports. This might make debugging  harder,
esp. for lower-level problems.

 Why are you attempting to divide the Maemo community?

I have bought n900 knowing it is Debian and therefore I can,
if needed, to create my own repository with my packages.
So I do not believe that creating own repository is dividing community
- on the contrary, it allows for others to provide users with packages.
For example recently Opera created repository with Debian/Ubuntu
packages ensuring that users have Opera browser updated the same way
other software is updated.

On the other hand I doubt ordinary users will add some strange
repository - I, for myself, would though about it carefully.
So this might be way for distributing software, but only for
the most hardcore users.

As for promotion to extras - I took part in Saturday's testing
marathon, and some packages worked on my phone while not working
on others, and vice-versa. So I think necessity of having 10 votes
is valid. Maybe _just_ for bugfixes it could be lessened - but there
is risk of abusing this approach.
Debian *-security repositories for security patches. Ordinary packages
must go usual way (10-days waiting period, no RC bugs) - but when
security problem is detected, package with fix goes to *-security
repository. This is not the same situation, but maybe this will give
someone idea for solving problem of getting high quality packages
into extras while not forcing developers to wait too long for
package transition.

Residual configuration after package reinstallation

2010-03-23 Thread Tomasz Rybak
Hello.
After Saturday's testing marathon I was checking free space on my device
and found out that many of packages that I have installed to test
left configuration files after removal. 
I have used `dpkg -l | grep -v ^i` in terminal to find them.
There were many packages with status rc in the first column - 
which means that they were Removed with Configuration files
left. I have removed all such packages by `dpkg -P name`
but few question remain:

1. Configuration files do not take much space but when one is
experimenting and testing many programs there can be many such files 
left. Another possible problem is that such packages are kept
in database (on Debian in /var/lib/dpkg) where list of all package
files, configuration files, checksums, etc. Such files sizes can add
and take precious bits of rootfs.

2. I can imagine that someone install old version of package,
uninstalls it while documentation is left, then after some time
package gets more mature, the same person install new version which
has problems because of old configuration.

Another possibility is that old configuration has disabled some
functionality (e.g. it was not stable at the moment) and new version
keeps it disabled because of old residual config files.
I know that package maintainer should take configuration updates
into consideration but it might be hard - this week there was
problem with updated qtirreco losing configured remotes:
https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9601


So what is reason for HAM to leave configuration when uninstalling
packages (removing them but not purging)?

Regards

OpenCL on Maemo

2010-03-23 Thread Tomasz Rybak
Hello.
I have been reading Maemo Base Port Technical Requirements
v 1.1 from 25.1.2010 by Jari Palojärvi

In chapter 3.4.4 OpenCL one can read:
The Base Port should provide an implementation of the OpenCL 1.0
interface for general-purpose parallel programming of heterogeneous
systems, especially for the use of GPUs for computation
(Khronos group standard).

I have enabled Extras, Extras-testing and Extras-Devel
repositories but could not find any package regarding OpenCL.
`apt-cache search opencl` returned no packages.

I have found only two threads on t.m.o mentioning OpenCL
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=35950
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=32475
both of them from 2009, and both ending with it would
be good to have.

So, official Nokia document requires Maemo devices to provide
OpenCL capabilities but currently there is no possibility
to write code using OpenCL. Is it just left for later to implement
(first go updates, additional features must wait) or MeeGo changed
everything and there is no hope for OpenCL?

Best regards.
