I am looking for project admins who would be willing to help me testing the whole procedure in the live environment. Please drop me an email if you are an administrator of a garage project which has a subversion repository and you would consider using git in the future. We could use git for maemomm. git is rather annoying to me personally day-to-day but we are used to it on git.gnome.org so we'd enjoy the consistency. -- murr...@murrayc.com www.murrayc.com www.openismus.com ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

We all try to add to maemo-gtk all things that can go upstream. However the modifications you're talking about (changing the implementation of Gtk widgets so they look/behave differently while maintaining the same API) can't, by definition, be moved upstream :) Berto ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
Re: calendar-backend
It is very easy to write C++ code that is usable by C compilers. Considering there is apparently a notable demand for a C interface, pushing for an enhancement request early in the project may be an interesting thing to do. The code change is relatively minimal if architectured correctly and would be beneficial to quite a few people apparently. I'm not teaching any experienced coder anything new here, and I don't mean to preach to the choir, but for future reference: #ifdef __cplusplus extern C #endif int foobar(int i); http://developers.sun.com/solaris/articles/mixing.html#cpp_from_c On 11/06/2009, Hubert Figuiere h...@figuiere.net wrote: On 06/11/2009 05:01 PM, Jamie Bennett wrote: Forgive my ignorance but is it 10x longer to compile or 10x increment in speed? Compilation speed is a matter of grabbing two coffee's instead of one, run time speed is a matter of giving up completely. C code compiled by g++ isn't slower or faster. It should be the same. (I'm talking runtime speed here) Just because there seems to be another myth being entertained.
