Simon- After my post on the same subject a while back, I went and re-read that specific portion of the documentation which you referenced as well. Yes, it's a good starting point... but it is missing all of the "SHOULD" and "MUST" verbiage of a platform-wide standard (such as an RFC, or POSIX standard). Getting a "Built for Maemo" sticker (yes, I know, doesn't exist) for your application should include things like proper User Interface / Application Programming Interface / Platform Programming Interface integration... which will only happen if the verbiage is strong enough to deter incomplete implementations. I think (though I can't speak for Philip directly) that the request was for a more strongly-worded and detailed backup specification, including both run-state (i.e., pause-to-disk) and saved-state (backup/restore) of both the installed application's user data /and/ the application binary/libraries themselves. -JMills

I have not tested this but if it doesn't work it is a bug... :) Bye, Simon -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://simon.budig.de/ _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
