It is good to hear that bootmenu is working on the n900, but IMO this is

Again, having kernel commandline stored inside config partition and NOLO

Hi,
Do any Maemo superstars want to post to Stackoverflow? There are some
Maemo related questions there and they are not necessarily being answered by
those who have the most knowledge in our community.
I know that we can be pretty hermetic at times, sticking to our forums

Hi,
A long time ago I was informed by Niels on this list that packages
dependencies (i.e. not user application or packages under user/*
categories) would be automatically promoted from extras-devel to
extras-testing (and to extras FWIW) if an application that depends on
it is promoted.
Well, it
Well, it *used* to work like that some time ago, but in the last weeks
I've noticed that no newer versions of PyMaemo packages (which are all
dependencies from various user/* application) got promoted as before.
Packages don't get updated in promotion process if earlier version satisfies

You can promote PyMaemo packages to extras-testing but it's not the
