Dear all, pushing a new shr-testing snapshot is always quite an exciting time for me. After quite some time of no updates, we have now managed to create a new and updated SHR testing snapshot. I have tested a fresh reflash, and I also have tried to opkg upgrade (it worked for me, but that might have been luck). The -lite and -full images have been built, and the feed has been compiled as well, however, I only tested functionality of applications in -lite.
I would prefer a reflash is possible, but opkg *should* work. If you plan to opkg upgrade, please make sure you activate a swap partition on a SD card, as the downloads alone will consume all available RAM. Instructions for swapfiles here: http://trac.shr-project.org/trac/wiki/swap. I tried it with 64MB swap and that worked fine, but I believe that 32MB might have worked as well. Also, do run an upgrade via SSH access in a screen session, as the restarted X would otherwise kill you upgrade process. CAUTION ======= We had some cases where the Freerunner would fail to register to the GSM network, as the fso-abyss process exits unexpectedly. It must be a very subtle race condition, and setting frameworkd's logging level to DEBUG weirdly helped to fix that. So if your Freerunner refuses to register, try to set the logging level in /etc/frameworkd.conf to DEBUG. Also, please report back if it works for you. Mickey is on to fixing it (After finding the cause which is not obvious at all). The shr-testing snapshot is basically the same as the shr-Unstable from a few days ago, so expect all the same things as you got in the recent shr-Unstable snapshots. I expect this snapshot to remain relatively stable over the coming weeks, however, I will pick single version upgrades if they fix specific issues and add them to shr-t. Please report back issues to our trac system, so we can fix them. Have fun, spaetz _______________________________________________ Shr-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shr-project.org/mailman/listinfo/shr-devel
