 The goal will probably be creating and testing a new testing image every 2
 weeks or so. Though we haven't officially decided on that.

May you elaborate? why every 2 weeks a new testing image?
will not creating a single testing image and opkg update  opkg
upgrade be sufficient?

yeah, but for those installing it freshly having to flash and then upgrade is a 
pain... And the longer the list of packages to update... the more probable it 
will be that opkg bails out.

Ah! so creating and testing means building ;)
Happy to hear that! about opkg why do not use an old version? in the
past it worked fine.

Regards and keep up the upcoming good work ;)

Putting the *S*table back in *S*HR!

2009-08-27 Thread Warren Baird
hey all,

As I (and others) mentioned in the recent OM2009 thread - One of the great
advantages of SHR is that it is being developed so quickly.  However, I'd
also say that one of the great *DIS*advantages of SHR is that it's being
developed so quickly that it's often not very stable, and the 'testing'
build is woefully out of date.

I don't have very much spare time in my life right now, so I unfortunately
can't take it on myself, but I think it'd be very beneficial if someone was
willing to step up and take charge of getting shr-testing updated
periodically, and maybe even releasing an shr-stable that has at least some
of the snazzy stuff from shr-u in it.

I can help with stability testing, and maybe a bit of documentation, but I
can't go much beyond that...

Anyone else willing and able to take this on?

Warren

This is why I never used SHR (and I won't for many time to come, I 
think)

Or rename it UHR (Unstable Hybrid Release) :P
Bye!

The meaning of SHR is pretty much historical by now :-)

Perhaps mv shr-2009-08-08 shr-testing ? Don't forget the known issue:
  opkg-cl update ; opkg-cl install opkg
  ... from now on, opkg bla bla bla again.
