Hi, I've noticed something odd in maemo 2.1. When installing / upgrading packages in scratchbox, in the Setting up stage apt/dpkg can get stuck for large amounts of time (forever?). I've found this in gtk2.0-examples for instance, in the context of sardine work. It looks like apt/dpkg gets

Hey! Oh! i haven't been living in espoo myself (although on the border area) but afaik, it's a nice place to live espcially if you have a car. At least i would prefer to live somewhere in Helsinki if my office is in Helsinki since i don't have a car. Two reasons: 1. It's easier and faster to

The minimum size for a rootfs is 4MB at the moment. My testing shows that a jffs2 file of *exactly* 8 Mb (8,388,608 bytes) will NOT flash. Anything bigger than that (the next largest jffs2 image is 8,389,752 bytes) WILL flash. Note that this is the jffs2 image as produced by tar2jffs,
