[maemo-developers] Python deb packages
Hi,I've been trying to create application installer friendly .deb packages from Pyhon applications and I'm having problems with getting the symlinks work so that the application would appear in the extras menu. What I've done is that I have a directory that contains the python files placed in correct directories. For example python libraries are in usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages and executables are in usr/bin. In the same directory I also have DEBIAN directory that contains control and package-name.links files. I've created the .deb package using dpkg-deb -b command for that directory. Package is created just fine and it also installs on the device and the application works fine, but the symlinks defined in package-name.links don't get created. Am I doing something wrong? I don't have much experience about Debian packages.Thanks,Teemu-- Teemu Harju http://www.teemuharju.net ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

Re: [maemo-developers] Python deb packages
Thanks Vladislav, I checked out that site. Seems like that is pretty much the way I created the packages, so I must have done something right. But still the application doesn't show up at the menu after installation. This is what I have in the [package].links file... /var/lib/install/usr/share/applications/hildon/[package].desktop /etc/others-menu/extra_applications/001_[package].desktopI've replaced the package name with [package]. Is this package.links file a maemo specific thing? I couldn't find any info about it besides the maemo site. And maemo site also says that I shouldn't use any maintainer scripts like postinst or prerm, that are presented in the tutorial that Vladislav posted. - Teemu2006/2/18, Vladislav Grinchenko [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Teemu,check out this page - it might be useful:http://db.glug-bom.org/wiki/index.php/Build_a_Debian_PackageOn Sat, 2006-02-18 at 06:55, Teemu Harju wrote: Hi, I've been trying to create application installer friendly .deb packages from Pyhon applications and I'm having problems with getting the symlinks work so that the application would appear in the extras menu.

Re: [maemo-developers] Where can I find the sources for the load-plugin?
Hi, Jakub has released the sources (LGPL): http://koti.welho.com/jpavelek/tmp/770/load-plugin_0.2.5-1.tar.gz (Unfortunately he lost the sources of all recent versions, the now open-sourced version lacks the process-listing and -killer feature of binary-only version 0.2.4) I am currently trying to add a swapon/off menu entry to the source. Some difficulties I face: 1.) want to add a persistent application setting for the swap device 2.) the applet runs as user, swapon/off needs root For 1.) I am simply struggling with gconf, wrt. 2.) I am considering to add two lines to /etc/sudoers and call sudo /sbin/swapoff ... etc. from the applet. Any better ideas or hints? Armin. On Friday 13 January 2006 20:28, Michael P.

I recall reading some time ago (but can't find the link now) that the load plugin was released under a very restrictive license. This may be oversight or intent on the part of the author, but you'll probably have the best luck contacting him directly. Mike Hi, the CPU/Mem/Screenshot applet alias Load-Plugin is great! http://maemo.org/maemowiki/ApplicationCatalog#head-2a148fa70a8fd1 81ef6b85fb568785cd31a45e02 http://koti.welho.com/jpavelek/tmp/770/ I would like to add a 'swapon/swapoff' entry to the menu of the applet, but can't find the sources. This function would be very useful for all people who are using a swap partition such as /dev/mmcblk0p2 on their RS-MMC: before you hotplug-remove the RS-MMC you would swapoff (otherwise the 770 would crash), and after hotplug-insert the RS-MMC you could swapon again. If successfull I would post a patch. But I can't find the source! Armin. -- --- May the Source be with you!

[maemo-developers] Bluetooth headset news?
http://maemo.org/pipermail/maemo-developers/2005-December/002191.html Brad Midgley wrote two monthes ago: I'm overseeing the bluetooth audio on linux project... Linux only supports SCO transfers for CSR chips. To use the current btsco stuff, Nokia is going to have to contribute a SCO driver to the kernel for whatever bluetooth chip they put in the 770. It's possible that they will route SCO to PCM hardware (direct to audio hardware or even the dsp) rather than HCI (to the cpu). If this is the case, btsco etc will need a little hacking to work that way. (Or even better, to be rewritten) Any news on this? I've been unable to locate any information using google. I've seen some nice Nokia Bluetooth Headsets while shopping this afternoon, would be great if Nokia Headsets worked with Nokia 770 :).

Then users will only have to ensure RD mode is enabled without any further hacking.

Laurent Any news on this? I've been unable to locate any information using google. I've seen some nice Nokia Bluetooth Headsets while shopping this afternoon, would be great if Nokia Headsets worked with Nokia 770 :). I'm curious as well as to where Nokia is with voice headsets. There's a big piece missing right now in the bluetooth driver for our TI adapter. No one has been discussing it over on the bluez lists so I don't perceive any progress. Myself... I have not been working on voice headsets at all. I've done some work on stereo sets like finishing the 32-bit fixed-point sbc codec and starting on gstreamer plugins but nothing to show yet.
