Re: [maemo-developers] Howto: using two scratchbox environments
The updated maemo 2.2 I understand is essentially 2.1 with updates required to run it in the same scratchbox a v3 so you won't need 2 installs.

Peter True, but in the meantime, until 2.2 is available, supposedly by the end of the month, it is necessary to have two Scratchbox installations.

[maemo-developers] Howto: using two scratchbox environments
The standard maemo 3.0 SDK installation documentation states that it is recommended that previous versions of the SDK be uninstalled before installing the new SDK. But, it seems reasonable that developers will want to maintain both the 2.0/2.1 and 3.0 installations due to the need to build packages for both the 770 and N800. No information is provided for how to do this, but something in the scratchbox installation document alludes to how to make this happen. Move your existing scratchbox installation to another directory and also untar the R4 scratchbox files to a different directory. On my system, I am using /scratchbox_insts/version number/scratchbox for the different versions of scratchbox. At this point, you should no longer have a /scratchbox directory on your system. Whenever you want to use a particular version of scratchbox, create a /scratchbox symbolic link using ln -s that links to the correct scratchbox directory. Make sure to run /scratchbox/sbox_ctl stop (if scratchbox is running) before deleting the symbolic link in order to switch to a different installation. It would be nice to see this mentioned in the maemo 3.0 installation documentation, because until we have maemo 2.2, developers may find themselves needing to switch back and forth between the 2.0/2.1 and 3.0 SDKs.
