pymaemo-optify: upgrading to the newer 0.3 version on Maemo 5
Hi all, This message is intended for those users already using the PyMaemo optification solution on Maemo 5. You are probably using it if you have extras-testing or extras-devel enabled on your N900. The extras repository does not contain pymaemo-optifier yet. A bug was identified (see https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6886) which breaks Python packages when pymaemo-optify is upgraded on the command line using apt-get upgrade and some other Python package is upgraded at the same time. I uploaded a fixed package to extras-devel, but any upgrade from an older version, if done with some another Python package upgrade at the same time, will again trigger the bug. Therefore you need to upgrade only the pymaemo-optify package; later you can upload other Python packages without problem. From the command line == # apt-get install pymaemo-optify This will upgrade *only* pymaemo-optify. Using Application Manager Once the new version enters the repositories you have enabled, you should see a package upgrade notification for the pymaemo-optify package (version 0.3). If you don't see it, you don't have to do anything; it will appear at some point. Once you see the upgrade notification, upgrade *only* the pymaemo-optify package. Later you can upgrade any other packages. If you had already been affected by the bug = Run these commands on the terminal to cleanup your Python installation: # apt-get purge pymaemo-optify Then install *only* pymaemo-optify first (make sure you are installing 0.3 version): # apt-get update # apt-get install pymaemo-optify Now you can reinstall other Python applications you want. That's it. You have any problems with the upgrade, you can comment on the bug, or send an e-mail to the pymaemo-developers mailing list: https://garage.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/pymaemo-developers/ Regards, -- Anderson Lizardo OpenBossa Labs - INdT Manaus - Brazil ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

Unfortunately, while this version fixed the upgrade issue, it broke clean installations... I sent a fixed version (0.4) that should fix this. So please, give as more testing to this new version (once it becomes available to extras-devel) as possible: clean installations, recovery from backup, upgrades through the installation manager. The same instructions from the rest of the e-mail applies, but use 0.4 instead.
