Dear Community, Team status update:
As in http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/community/2008-December/036792.html (send/receive files via bluetooth in NEO), Erin keeps working on bluetooth. Jeremy fixed some qtopia and location bugs, and will continue learning more about kernel. The GTK redraw problem is fixed now (#1946) so Julian will be back to help with the Paroli edje files and keeps working on python. Olv is having kernel fun now, but since it's gta03 related, you probably won't see him a lot on the public kernel list. Tick mostly worked on opkg this week. Basically there are two big issues: * Incorrect behavior: as Tick indicated on devel list, there are still some logical error in opkg, which caused some problems during upgrade. That's why I have to use the -force-overwrite option in my previous upgrade howto. * Efficiency: opkg is obviously not very efficient, both in memory and in speed. Maybe we could expect another opkg release soon. Qtopia: OM is moving more focus to gta03 now, so my current resource for qtopia is fairly limited. Currently the things I want to fix most are: * UCSD problem * Window focus (soft menu disappear, problems when multiple sms come in, etc.) * Partial import of sim contacts. Please suggest if anything missing and I'll arrange my priorities. There are several good things worth mentioning last week: * The infamous WSOD (#1841) seems to be solved. It's already in testing repo. Praise for all helped in this! * GTK redraw problem (#1946) solved along with similar problem in qt with an illume patch. Thanks, Raster! p.s. It seems my last update might have created an impression that the only way to try the testing repo is to upgrade from Om2008.9. It's not true. Another way is to flash directly from http://downloads.openmoko.org/daily/testing/ if you don't mind reflash the phone. another p.s. Someone in OM kindly reminds me that my post can create inappropriate impressions, because although the logic is correct, the words and tongues might be misleading. My native language is Chinese (and I'm a master of words and tongues in Chinese), so it's kind of difficult for me to enhance this. All I can do is encouraging you to go ahead and ask if anything unclear, and keep in mind I'm a Taiwanese engineer when you read this. ;) Regards, John _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
