[FSO] Where is python-sqlite?

2009-02-16 Thread Olivier Migeot
Hello,

I'm currently trying to install Python support for SQLite on FSO M4.1.
After updating my package list ('opkg update'), I can see
python-sqlite3 available through 'opkg list', but trying to 'opkg
install' it gives me :

  r...@om-gta02:~# opkg install python-sqlite3
  Installing python-sqlite3 (2.5.2-ml0) to root...
  Collected errors:
   * ERROR: Package python-sqlite3 (parent python-sqlite3) is not
available from any configured src.
   * Failed to download python-sqlite3. Perhaps you need to run 'opkg update'?

Any idea? Thanks.

Thanks to all of you for you help. But I tried something else : Marek
Lindner just provided the steps for fixing the image. Here it is:

 Not sure whether somebody was able to properly fix it or not. We (Chris and me)
 just ran into this issue and created a "fix" for the mount script.
 The /etc/init.d/checkroot.sh file in line 24 is the reason for the problem. It
 complains about a wrong file descriptor here: exec 9>&0 https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support


[FSO] Milestone 5, uBoot and SD, any success?

2009-02-10 Thread Olivier Migeot
Hello ev'ryone.

It's been a while since Freesmartphone's latest milestone (the
so-called "milestone 5") is out. However, and as willing as I am to
test it, I still didn't manage to get past the "root not remouted
read-write as it should" problem.

I saw a lot of discussion about how to fix this with Qi. As I'm still
too cautious to test Qi yet (after all, this is my main phone we're
talking about... testing one piece of potentially unstable software at
a time is well enough for me), I'm wondering whether anybody had
success with that milestone and the following setup (or something
close):

 - GTA02
 - images (.tar.gz and .bin) from the fso-stable tree.
 - basic uBoot (no update whatsoever since purchase)
 - and of course, booting on the SD card (once again, I don't want to
break every part at once)

If, by any chance, somebody succeeded in something similar, would he
mind explaining how he did?

And if anybody from the FSO team passes by : is there some kind of
milestone 5.1 expected (fixing that kind of problem, for instance), or
should we wait for milestone 6?

Thanks a lot.

Regards,

Doesn't work here either (GTA02, uboot, booting from SD).

It does. But it's not the faint hearted. Getting Evolution to run on
Neo won't be too easy, but it should be reasonnably doable (in a
perfect world, it might compile directly on arm... maybe it already
does, btw). Then having it running everyday would start to be a pain
in some lower parts : Evolution, as nice as it is, needs a _lot_ of
resource compared to what a Freerunner can offer. The screen size
might be a pain too.

Well it's surely possible to run Evolution. Now whether that would be
the solution to not12listen's problem or not is another whole debate.
And if it were that easy, it'd be done already (Evolution can do much
more than Exchange connectivity, and _many_ people would love those
too). Our guy asked if he _can_ read Exchange mail's on OM. Not within
the year, nor in an unknown future, but _now_. And _now_, he can't.

We got too many people disappointed by the Freerunner, we don't need
another one.

Are you sure of that? I thought it was based on Exchange's WebDAV
access, which is a bit different. Sure it's still tied to web
technologies, and needs OWA to be enabled on the server, but it's much
more efficient than wrapping around a web interface, and should work
well over the internet (you can proxy it through HTTPS frontends or
anything, if you want).

There was another connector-like-thing named Brutus, who forced MAPI
commands through CORBA. But it needed some code at both side (a daemon
on the server side, and libbrutus on the device/application). I don't
know if it's still active, though.

There's also some opensource code regarding ActiveSync "over the air"
in Zarafa/ZPush projects. This implements part (only server part,
sadly) of Microsoft's protocol for synchronizing devices over HTTP(S)
connections, supporting even "idling connections" (branded as
"DirectPush") to avoid constant polling. Maybe someone can "guess" the
client part of the protocol by looking at ZPush. It's PHP code, so if
anyone is brave enough ;)

Another way, which sounds much more practical for desktop than
embedded use, is the wonderful work of OpenChange's guys : namely a
bunch of code to emulate several parts of the Exchange architecture
within an AD/Samba4 environment. Though it should be pretty effective
in a LAN, I guess it would need some heavy tweaks to be used over the
internet.

Any other ideas?

Simple answer : no. There's ways that could eventually lead to an
exchange-compatible openmoko, but none of them are usable yet nor
anybody expressed interest in exploring them.

Don't wait for OM to support Exchange, if you really need a
directpush-compatible phone, for for Windows Mobile. Sad, but true.

Why not use screen, then?
