As Carlos disclosed indirectly in another mail to the list (about the application competition at GUADEC) the new LT2006 edition will see the light of day somewhere before or at least at GUADEC, which is a little less than a month away. If we want to provide our users with updated packages at product launch it is just about time to have the corresponding development package at hand. Again, I still think that it would be of great benefit for the developers, the users and Nokia to release the SDK before the product (developers get early experience, users will get packages at product launch and Nokia gets early feedback from experienced developers). > Devesh Cheers nils faerber -- kernel concepts Tel: +49-271-771091-12 Dreisbachstr. 24 Fax: +49-271-771091-19 D-57250 Netphen Mob: +49-176-21024535 -- ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

Technology-wise there no problem with Wifi and Bluetooth at the same time. They both use the 2.4GHz band but with a quite different usage scheme. Wifi uses a single channel constantly while Bluetooth hops within 16 channels at a rate of up to 1200 (?) channel hops per second. So even if Bluetooth happens to hit the same channel it will just be for an amount of time that Wifi would simply ignore - like a small transmission error ;) Concerning headset usage I just had a chat with Marcel Holtmann (the BlueZ maintainer). He sais that it would be possible if Nokia and TI would release the specs for the chipset and the connection of the chipset to the rest of the system concerning audio. > Also it would be cool if the HeadPhone jack was multi pole (or what > ever its called when you have 4 connectors) so you could use a > mic/headphone combo like of some of the nokia phones too.

All Scratchbox components are also available as tarballs, but then you have to configure them yourself besides setting up whatever targets you want to use. Note that Scratchbox is not (just) maemo build environment, it's a tool for cross-compiling whole Linux distributions, such as Maemo. > ... after chrooting I could run apt-get dist-upgrade to be in > sync with newest updates and wit others. Scratchbox is basically a chroot environment, but a one that's specifically set up to do cross-compilation: - that looks to the compiled software like the compilation were native - can optionally use real HW to run the (autotools) test program There's no other tool that could build Debian from Scratch, let alone cross-compile it like Scratchbox can. For more on the problems on cross-building, see: http://www.scratchbox.org/documentation/general/tutorials/explained.html (it's a bit old and doesn't mention problems in cross-building Debian which is several magnitudes harder problem.) > (And, if this system were much smaller than the current one that > would be nice too...) If Sbox would use the (core/find/textutils, python/perl..) binaries from the surrounding distro instead of being self-contained, it would: - Be tied to specific distro and specific version of that distro: -> If you have other (version of the) distro, you would need to build scratchbox yourself (but it would be much smaller) - Debugging problems in the build environment would be hell because each user would have different set/version of the build utilities and their own problems - Eero ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

This could be different things as the critical thing is just a way to test that one's implementation of the new APIs works, as early as possible. A public beta of the production image could be a way to do this but it involves other overhead and would bring other benefits, like feedback from real users, more publicity, etc. If a smooth transition is essential in your mind you could even delay the production release. >So we need to come up with the concept of community contrib repository >where the 3rd party applications could be uploaded Something like all the repositories you can use with apt-get and sources.list on Debian?

If you look at the press release it doesn't actually say integration with Gizmo. It says 'can also support SIP based VoIP solutions' and that standalone apps are planned. The full paragraph. The upgraded Internet Tablet software platform can also support SIP based VoIP solutions for broadband business benefit. Standalone software applications, like the popular Gizmo Project by SIPPhone Inc, is planned to be available for the Nokia 770 Internet Tablet. The Gizmo Project has a rich feature set including the capability to make and receive calls from public telephony networks.

I think Koen is perfectly right that developers should get a chance to cross compile their apps with the new dev-env. Even if not being able to test them on the device directly it will still dramatically shorten the time from release of IT2006 until getting stable apps for the new environment. So I think it is really worth it. Besides it might also be nice for Nokia to get early feedback on the Maemo 2.0 and probably be able to fix minor things. Yes, I agree whole heartedly. To have the base platform in place people can test their apps and give feedback that way you can get a much wider testing of the base platform before launch and possibly fix any brown paper bag issues that others may catch. It also allows the app developers to test their apps in the maemo v2 environment so they can get them running in the dev env and just have to do final testing in the live image when it ships to fix any minor issues allowing updated apps to hit the net shortly after the launch. There are certainly some apps that I use constantly that will stop me from directly upgrading to thee IT2006 before they become available.

Remember now the concept of - click on download link in application catalogue page, browser opens AI, AI installer installs WOULD NOT WORK since we moving to full package management and repository structure (Unless off course packages are as self constained as they with Maemo 1.1, but that we all agree is not real package management :).

I suggest removing the application catalog wiki page(s) when IT2006 gets released and fill them with apps that are known to work on IT2006. Or moving it to a page for Applications IT 2005 and add a new one for IT 2006. I also wouldn't remove wiki's application catalog 2005 completely. It would remain be useful for those running IT SW 2005.
