Re: [Barry-devel] Website documentation update

2007-09-28 Thread Robert Denton
Hi Chris, I am capable of testing Cvs builds but I am on the bus at the moment 
(so cannot right now). Also, I took a look at the requirements page and once I 
get to work I'll try to tackle them but recompiling my kernel might not be 
realistic timewise. More later. Thanks!  R.

Hm... I looked into recompiling my kernel and it looks like it is a time 
consuming endeavor that is not without risk.  Is there anyway to satisfy the 
second requirement without recompiling my kernel?

Not to my knowledge.  The kernel is responsible for controlling the
suspend mode, and if the latest CVS version of bcharge doesn't work for you,
then you'll need to make sure the kernel doesn't interfere.

The only way I know of doing that is recompiling the kernel without
CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND.

I hear that newer kernels will have a special case for the Blackberry,
but I don't think that fix is in the distros yet.

Really?  You say:

Bcharge attempts to work around this by writing to the  
/sys/.../device/power/state file to attempt to turn this suspend off,  but this 
is not always successful.  

Why cannot I go in and manually turn it off in the same manner that bcharge is 
attempting to do?  Do you have a brief instruction set for this?

Hi folks, when there is a new beta ready for testing please let me know as I do 
not want to give up on barry just yet.  I am sure it is wonderful in its 
current state but I have yet to get it to work, and I do not have the time for 
extensive troubleshooting.  In the meantime I will just get a wall charger if I 
can find one that is not an absolute piece of garbage. Thanks!!

Subject: [Barry-devel] Website documentation update

Hi folks,
  
  This was way overdue.  The website has been rather out of date for a
  while now, but this has been remedied! :-)
  
  You can view the Barry documentation here:
  
   http://www.netdirect.ca/software/packages/barry/
  
   or
  
   http://barry.sourceforge.net/ (redirect)
  
  The source to these pages are now in CVS under doc/www, and the html
  will be included in the source tarball of the next release.  This is
  now the main spot for getting started with Barry.
  
  If you notice any mistakes or out of date information, you can send
  patches based on the CVS tree, and I'll update the website as necessary.
  
  Enjoy, and thanks for using Barry!
