It's great to see a new 2.x SDK release that runs on the same version of scratchbox as the 3.0 SDK, but my main concern is will packages created with the new SDK work on maemo 2.0 and 2.1 platforms? When the 2.1/scirocco SDK was released, because of auto-generated dependency issues in the package, packages created with the 2.1 SDK would not generally work on 2.0 platforms. As such, it has been best to continue to use the 2.0 SDK to build packages that will work on both 2.0 and 2.1 maemo platforms. Now, we have a new 2.2 SDK, and I suspect that we will run into the same dependency issues. Are developers going to be continued to forced to use the 2.0 SDK in order to build packages that support all 2.x platforms (and as a result, continue to maintain the older scratchbox installation)? Perhaps there can be some way to configure the 2.2 SDK such that it will generate package dependencies for older 2.x releases.
