Because developers want to have a stable distro to target against, and that means knowing whats in the distro already so that packages can be delivered reliably that do not have massive dependencies. > does your desktop linux distro ONLY run gtk apps? you can't use kde > or qt apps? This isn't clearly understood, I think. One thing we really have to understand, clearly (us 3rd-party developers), is that we can build packages that will install - and run - for each of these distros. Say I have an app that I want to sell to 100 OpenMoko users. Can I just make an .ipk that will install on all of those machines, if some of them are running FSO, some ASU, some 2007.2? This has the potential - whether perceived or real or not - to be a support nightmare for 3rd-party developers, unless they understand that its possible to target all 3 distro's and support them easily enough. ; -- Jay Vaughan _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
