Re: [CSSU] how to include rewrites of closed blobs
For those who couldn't attend the meeting: We decided to introduce / work on a deployment system, which allows the user to choose for each and every component. It's made up of 3-4 packages. #1 is the nokia package, this is not going to be shipped from the cssu repo, but will be there as always in the nokia ssu repo #2 is the rewrite package, this is going to live within the cssu repo and will conflict with #1 and #3 #3 is a helper package, it has no real content, but depends on #1, it also conflicts #2. It is needed because most (all) nokia packages are not in one of the visible user/* sections. #4 is only existing where appropriate, and will be a package that installs the rewrite side by side to the nokia package, ie. the calculator could have such a package. All those packages (except for #1) will go into a new component inside the cssu repo, which has the name replace (existing ones are free and non-free). Though for this to work we have to adjust the hildon-application-manager, because currently it just errors out if one wants to install a conflicting package. Thus it might take some time before we see any of this in action. Christian ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
[CSSU] how to include rewrites of closed blobs
Coming monday (14.05) we will have an irc meeting in #maemo-ssu on freenode @ 18:00 UTC Target of the meeting is to decide on a way how we handle rewrites within cssu, and how new ones should be added. Anybody is free to join the discussion! Christian ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

If something can be installed via Extras, it should be. If it's a fully functional rewrite, an additional package can be used to swap the .desktops etc. This means users can have the choice between, and compare side-by-side, the original and the rewrite. This additional bridging package *might* require the CSSU. If so, maybe it should be in a separate repo, a CSSU Extras if you will. See you Monday!

Re: [CSSU] how to include rewrites of closed blobs
thanks Andrew, for clarification :-D 100% agree. I just like to add we already have some apps that are no rewrites but clearly depend on CSSU (orientation lock applet, CSSU-tweaker...) and thus also should live in that repo CSSU-extras (or whatever path we choose to implement the concept) cheers jOERG (IRC: DocScrutinizer) ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
