Thats a bit sad, it means hardware support has to be done twice for every device, once for FSO and once for QtMoko. >> Everything is bundled into one big source tree instead of split up. > > That's the main problem.

So the TODO list for getting QtMoko into Debian for those who want to work on it: Get upstream to drop all the many embedded code copies. Get upstream to merge the RunAsUser_GTA04 branch. Audit the code for security issues, cppcheck finds a number of issues and grepping for system() finds a lot of calls that should be converted to QProcess or exec(). Add support for OEM (or generically-configured) mode to dpkg, apt, d-i so that Debian can produce pre-installed images like QtMoko does but without having to massage the image after install. Then integrate that with the QtMoko first-startup wizard. The current Debian images (cloud/live) are hacking around in the image after it has been produced. http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2011/07/msg00694.html -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
