Re: How much are Nxxx open?

2009-09-02 Thread Quim Gil
Hi,

 Finally, it may be nice if Nokia may donate some devices to FSO and
 OpenEmbedded core team, any interest/chance about that?

We will start talking soon about the N900 device program.

In the meantime, having members of these projects involved and with
concrete ideas will help. Being active in the maemo.org Extras is one
way but it might be difficult for such projects going beyond application
development and actually needing some hardware to get things done with
certain guarantees.

An interesting approach would be to have members of these projects
submitting proposals to the Maemo Summit. It's a way to have a name
linked to a concrete purpose.

Feel free forwarding your proposal (or remaking your own) to your
preferred developers involved in these projects. Thanks!

PS: about the topic of the thread, please bear with us while we are in
this weeks of launch, final release and sales start. It will be much
easier to analyze how open, relicensings, replacements etc once Maemo 5
and the N900 is shipped and the community has got the chance to see all
the release code and how it works in a real device.

I don't think so, because the microkernel inside SGX chip is not open,

much of the internals of the SGX HW.

Hi, there is going to be an N900 device program and the terms will be
announced soon.

If you are a developer the best thing you can do is push your software
through the maemo.org Extras process. If you are not a developer just
keep whatever you were doing.  :)

new contributors: maemo5 testing, extras repository etc.

2009-09-02 Thread Dieter Plaetinck
Hi everyone.
I'm involved in the uzbl browser project (www.uzbl.org) and would like to port 
it to (make it available on) Maemo5.
(In fact I'm not sure yet how much porting will be needed, as this is a normal 
gtk/glib/webkit-gtk program, maybe it will just work)
But I'm very new to maemo and the community.
I created my project @ https://garage.maemo.org/scm/?group_id=1030

I'm still having some problems with pushing my code to the online git clone 
(http://sprunge.us/JhDZ) (same with GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY=1),
but once I've succeeded that I'm wondering:

1) how do I test my code on maemo5 ? I think I saw i mail about that on this 
list but couldn't find it back in the archives.  IIRC the conclusion was you 
pretty much can't .. yet
2) if you cannot test your program yet, how can you get it in `extras` ? I've 
read if you want to participate in the n900 dev program it's wise to get your 
program in extras before the n900 is launched.
   Furthermore, at 
http://maemo.org/community/application-catalog/extras_repository/ it is stated:
   'you must have a proven track record as a maemo developer. It means that 
you have been programming and preparing good quality software(s) for maemo'.  
How can you do that if you can't test?
3) am i looking to far? maybe i don't really need to port it and i should just 
package it? but still the above problems remain.

Thank you!
Dieter

 Can someone who understands the various sound systems comment on whether
 this would be a good idea?

I have done some reading and it seems that Pulseaudio supports ESD emulation.  
From reading the Pulseaudio info, it would be enough to have a real libesd 
(apparently libesd expects to communicate with the ESD via a socket interface 
which pulseaudio emulates).

However, there is no libesd for Maemo 5.  esound is the debian package which 
builds libesd.  Anyone feel like volunteering to build a libesd from esound?  
If not, I will have a go later once I have got the rest of GPE running on 
Fremantle.

Ok, some checklist that you should do before submitting a bug report,
because python segfaulting every time is usually a sign of
mis-configuration:

* Are you running your tests on the X86 target ? The ARMEL must not be
used for any application testing, only for compilation
* Did you start the Xephyr environment (export DISPLAY=:2 ;
af-sb-init.sh start ...) ?
* Are you running your application with:

run-standalone.sh python2.5 your_app

If the answer to all above is yes, then please submit a bug report as
suggested by Andrea, with at least the following information:

* Exact steps to reproduce the problem
* Exact output (error messages shown)

Need clutter-gtk

2009-09-02 Thread Alberto Mardegan
Hi,
   I'm trying to use clutter-gtk 0.8.2 from extras-devel, but it
segfaults as soon as I create an instance of the ClutterEmbed widget
(clutter_x11_get_stage_visual returns NULL and then this pointer is
accessed without checking).

In the SDK this package is missing. Is there a working version in some
repository? If not, which version of clutter-gtk should I compile?

TIA,
