It's great to see a new 2.x SDK release that runs on the same version of
scratchbox as the 3.0 SDK, but my main concern is will packages created
with the new SDK work on maemo 2.0 and 2.1 platforms? When the
2.1/scirocco SDK was released, because of auto-generated dependency issues
in the package, packages created with the 2.1 SDK would not generally work
on 2.0 platforms. As such, it has been best to continue to use the 2.0
SDK to build packages that will work on both 2.0 and 2.1 maemo platforms.
Now, we have a new 2.2 SDK, and I suspect that we will run into the same
dependency issues. Are developers going to be continued to forced to use
the 2.0 SDK in order to build packages that support all 2.x platforms (and
as a result, continue to maintain the older scratchbox installation)?
Perhaps there can be some way to configure the 2.2 SDK such that it will
generate package dependencies for older 2.x releases.
This is far from ideal, but you can always circumvent the automatic
dependencies and put the dependencies manually. Automatic dependencies
come from the ${shlibs:Depends} pseudo-dependency in the debian/control
file, which is replaced by all the packages containing the libraries the
program is linked against. You can remove this field add the
dependencies on library manually, with versions available in maemo 2.0.
