Hi folks, apologies if this is a daft question..
I've just started dual booting Meego N900 CE and was wondering
whether the idea is to apply updates via zypper post install (as
you would with a standard Linux distro install) or whether those
are considered development and unstable and I should stick to
upgrading via writing a new image to the uSD card ?
cheers!

Hi Chris,
we are supporting updating via zypper (more or less ;)). There has been
some problems in the past with that, but last time I tried it worked
nicely. In the stable and testing CE images the repositories are already
set so that you will get the latest CE updates if you do zypper update
(stable updates for stable and testing updates for testing images).
It should be noted however that by default when doing update the MeeGo
Core version doesn't get updated, e.g., from 1.2.0.90.6.20110629.4 to
1.2.0.90.6.20110630.4. This could be done as well by changing the
repository URL of that, however doing that has caused problems in the
past so I'm not recommending to do that if you are trying to keep your
image functional.
MeeGo Core repositories that we use with the CE are found from (yes, we
use the stable snapshot with both CE stable and testing):
http://repo.meego.com/MeeGo/snapshots/stable/1.2.0.90/
If you happen to have any problems with any of this feel free to join
#meego-arm IRC channel in Freenode IRC network to chat with us, or send
posts to this mailing list.
Regards,
Marko
