Some people are imo just pushing the panic button way too early (and without a proper reason to do so) - have been banging it for quite some time now. It was made clear that the infra isn't going away over night or unexpectedly.

I know of several people who are convinced that any day now, there will be a sudden and unannounced switch off of maemo.org in order to drive^W restrict traffic to Ovi^W??? Store. For this reason they're running regular backups of the repositories, afraid that all the software will disappear. Anyway, for argument's sake, if we theorized that the future direction of maemo.org/maemo_OS isn't much of anything, is that reason enough to switch it off? There are still users of Maemo and Maemo devices, and I bet most aren't community active, or even have a t.m.o. account, garage account or maemo.org account, but still use hildon-application-manager or fapm. I guess if extras is costing real money, it must be heavily used still? Certainly the maemo operating system will see less development as cssu runs into more and more reverse engineering work in order to move forward, so the arguments about developer efforts being better spent on Mer/Neomobile are probably sensible.. Mer/Neomobile has a chicken-and- egg issue though, inertia keeping people on fremantle which is for many more day to day usable. -JK (Who just bought his 4th N900 (2 died of cellmo failure), because it seemed easiest path to get a workable pocket browser, pocket email, pocket computer than hacking on/cracking aegis-harmattan or android) _______________________________________________ maemo-community mailing list maemo-community@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-community
