Subversion 302 error -- anyone else?

2008-01-26 Thread Brandon Kruse
If you guys have ever developed on projects.openmoko.org, the http svn
server is messed up.

If I ever try to add a file that is not a full directory (eg import; svn add
blah; svn ci -m test) does not work
and I get the error message:

svn: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: PROPFIND request failed on '/svnroot/project/trunk/crosscompilation'
svn: PROPFIND of '/svnroot/project/trunk/crosscompilation': 302 Found (
https://svn.projects.openmoko.org)

This has happend for both my projects mokoiax and asterisk on the moko.

You CAN fix this by adding:
ErrorHandler 404 default
In the svn http config file, so that the svn client interperts 404's a 404's
and not as Redirects (which svn client sees as 'found')

Thanks!

Re: GPS/Cell phone patent issue

2008-01-26 Thread john
Having read that patent I feel compelled to submit my latest idea to
the US patent office.

A turd on a stick

We claim:

1. It is a turd

2. It is a stick

 Today I blogged about a company that has a patent on what  I would call the
 essence of putting a GPS in a cell phone.

 I provided some details on the patent in my blog, but the essence of the
 story is covered in this excerpt:

 It appears that, in essence, the patents cover a phone providing current
 location information to a remote database which returns to the phone a
 collection of location centric information. According to the patent
 application, this location centric information could include real estate
 information, such as homes, condominiums, etc, but also parks, restaurant
 menus, services offered, hotels, hotel availability, and on and on.

 This, it appears, is an incredibly broad patent with major implications.

Hmm... The patent purports to cover getting *any* information  
based on

where you are, including maps. So unless all the map information or
whatever information you need can fit on your phone you are not
interested in it? I guess you better wait for some *really* big flash
memory chips. :)
The maps ARE on board for all common GPS car navis (really big  
256MB-flash
card e.g.). When i need to download e.g. a new country, because  
traveling

from Germany to Spain, this info isn't based on sending my actual
GPS-position to a database.


Hi there,

Google already offers a maps application for cell phones.

Just like the web-based app, the version for my Sony Ericsson P990i  
downloads only images for the area surrounding your search target,  
and downloads additional images as you scroll the viewing area.


This Google maps application supports GPS on Windows Mobile-based  
cellphones - I'd been inclined to assume that the Neo will be  
supported shortly after its release - and this would seem to be  
either infringing or prior art.

Re: Any OS X developers out there working with OpenMoko?

2008-01-26 Thread Dr. H. Nikolaus Schaller
There were much more encouraging responses like yours so far than I  
had expected!

Thank you very much.

What I read from the responses:
* there are more amongst us waiting for the GTA02 than GTA01 owners  
and developers


* the main things we want to have
- seamless communication (USB, Bluetooth, WLAN)
- no need to run Linux in a VM in parallel (for developers this might  
be ok)

- syncing address book should work

Did I miss anything?

-- hns

BTW: QuantumSTEP for the Neo is making fast progress. Make sure to  
visit us at FOSDEM 2008 at the GNUstep booth to see it in operation.

Please raise your hands...


Do keep up the good work.

I can't say that I'll be developing for OpenMoko, but you have one  
tester for sure here, when GTA02 arrives. I use OS X on my desktop  
 laptop, and am hoping that syncronisation of contacts  diary  
events will work with my new phone. I had a Windows Mobile phone  
last and a Sony-Ericsson P990i now - experience (or lack thereof!!)  
with syncing these to a Mac have made me hope that open source can  
fulfil my needs better.

Has JavaFX been released?
Can you point me to JavaFX sources you would like to see running on  
the Neo (URLs please, Sun's websites are a real maze, almost rivaling  
our wiki :-))?

afaik there will be JavaFX Mobile and JavaFX Script.
Rest assured that we will work hard to get all this stuff running on  
OpenMoko.

There are two editions of JavaFX: regular and mobile. These correspond 
to Java SE (desktop) and Java ME (phone).


As mentioned in the OP, the very first time JavaFX Mobile was shown in 
public, worldwide, it was running on a stock Neo1973 (presumably GTA01).

Bzzt, thanks for playing. There is a Java 1.4 (SE) Technology Preview 
for ARM that you can download; this has been available for about 6 
months. Unfortunately it doesn't play nice with the particular shared 
library versions that are installed on OpenMoko, and at that point I 
gave up.


Not to mention that you can download Java ME for Arm from the JavaME 
site :-)

Can you elaborate what you mean with 'didn't play nice with the

The more detailed the more we can do about it.
Also, can you reply with a URL for Java stuff you would like to see

Asterisk Release for the Openmoko Platform

2008-01-26 Thread Brandon Kruse
Hey guys,

I just wanted to tell you I just got done rolling the termcap-compat, speex,
and asterisk ipkg's.

They are available for download at http://bkruse.com as an ipkg and source
available for checkout.

Let me know what you guys think, this could bring tons of expansion.

The main reason I did this is to learn more about the moko platform and
porting apps, now I will continue to work on the gtk softphone for the
openmoko, mokoiax.

Just wanted to give a shout out, and thanks for the community helping me
with everything! :]

Wow, Asterisk on a phone sounds great. Thanks for getting this started.

fyi, anyone creating ipkgs for OpenMoko: If you are building FOSS apps  
(like Asterisk), please send us a mail at

[EMAIL PROTECTED]
and make sure you point us to your recipe or just attach it.
So we can include it in OpenMoko, the daily builds, etc.


Let me know what you guys think, this could bring tons of expansion.

Yes, indeed :-)
Thanks again,
Wolfgang

Id just like to jump in at this point and say that there is a
heavy integration of J2ME and J2SE happening in OE at the moment.

Its probably wise to wait a couple of weeks to see the developer
doing the work complete. Then we can see what we are still missing.
