do we need garage sandbox repos?
Hi, It has been a long time, so time to write to all of you :) We had a good chat with some of the microb folks here in my room yesterday. The conclusion was that we should perhaps offer a 'sandbox' repository for garage projects. This would be a place where any project could upload packages, make sure that they are installable on the environment they are targeting for (like stock Nokia N800) etc. The sandbox would serve as a staging environment before pushing the packages to extras. The repo will not be on repository.maemo.org, but on garage. This would hopefully hide it enough from users who could accidentally run into troubles using this sandbox on their tablets. The repo maintenance would be done with volunteers. I could establish the basic environment, make sure that your uploaded packages are processed etc, but I would like to get your help cleaning up the sandbox every now and then. Yeah, it is yet another repository, I know. But it could perhaps take away some work from those of you who are running an own repo today. So what do you think? -ferenc ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

The category names in Application Manager seem to lack any form of consistency which is annoying to say the least. 1. http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/maemo/users/25092#25092 ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

For me it would be very useful to have some repository to put applications for testing before releasing them to extras. I'd not call it sandbox but extras-devel or something similar to emphasize its primary usage scenario. I can help to maintain it if needed. -- Ed Bartosh [EMAIL PROTECTED] Nokia-M/Helsinki ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

It's clearly says that this repository is for testing applications on their way to extras. -- Ed Bartosh [EMAIL PROTECTED] Nokia-M/Helsinki ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
dbus api for wlancond
Hi All, I posted a message a week ago about trouble scaning the wifi card for APs. Apparently there is a bug when using iwlist. I saw a comment about using the dbus interface to use wlancond directly. However I can't find documentation for this interface. Can anyone provide any examples or documentation about initiating and reading a wifi scan via dbus to wlancond? Thanks, Nic ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
