Re: Maemo Official Platform Bug Jar 2010.09

2010-02-28 Thread Venomrush

Thanks for the listing, but to be honest, it's rather difficult to follow if
you send it to the mailing list.

I would prefer to read it them @ http://www.octofish.net/bugjar/ and the
only thing missing there is the maemo.org Website Bug Jar so could someone
add this?

I'm pretty sure Rapidshare is free and does not require you to pay to
download.
AFAIK you have to wait a minute or two when downloading.

Rapidshare was used as a temporally option. Chris Pitchford has offered to
provide hosting for UK firmwares.

The main point being, MD5/SHA1 information should be available for all
firmware versions/variants in tablets-dev not just the one currently listed
in there, so for those firmwares Nokia 'refuse' to put/host in tablets-dev
they can be mirrored elsewhere + when tablets-dev is down, tablets-dev has
been down for several occasions.

See https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6878 for discussion.

Cheers

Hmm sorry for the confusion, I should say if apps in Legacy are getting
updates, they'll be move to Extras.

It's not exactly what Niels's proposing, but just my suggestion.

It's such a big change that we're discussing about it right now.

You do not need to update any apps in Legacy. Apps in Legacy remains the
same and does not get any further development work. 

It's there so:
1. Users can browse pre-PR1.2 apps that are already working (apps without
needing to update to work with PR1.2)
2. Apps in Legacy repo not working in PR1.2 gets updated and put into the
new Extras & get removed from Legacy repo too

Post-PR1.2, all development effort should be put into updating apps for the
new Extras.

I hope it's abit clearer now.

Cheers

Why not have 2 repos for Extras

1 called Extras Legacy  (aka current Extras)
1 called Extras (aka fremantle-1.2 Extras)

The only inconvenience I can think of is users have an addtional repo on the
list, shouldn't do any harm!
