Re: What category should network filesystems like OpenAFS go under?

This is a problem since there may be various enhancements which are part of an EXISTING interface. Consider media codecs like ogg support, or filesystems. Or for example I ported WebDav so I have access to my mac.com idisk from my tablet. I could write a trivial user/password popup, but that is

You could run something on maemo.org that would produce an app list in multiple forms with all the extra data n the BROWSER, then a keyed installation target for the app manager which would "do the right thing". This would require a small new API to the app manager that would allow it to do an ins

Thanks for the response and the information. You say the "latest update broke" your hack. The latest update of the OS? And what if I haven't updated my OS, I have a Nokia N810 with OS2008 version Chinook, so shouldn't your hack work as long as I don't update? Please let me know, thanks. Merric

Hi, Sorry to jump in a thread like this as a stranger! My name is Nicolas and I am just a N810 owner interested in development. This thread makes a lot of sense to me because as a user I am a bit frustrated with the current AM. So just my 2 cents, I totally second Simon comment about being able

Removing the option to install applications listed inside our configured repositories takes away greatly from the system. The UI is at fault, not the actions it performs and data it contains within it. Gary On Fri, Nov 7, 2008 at 2:28 PM, Marius Vollmer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote: > Hi, > > with

Hi, with the recent category discussion coming to a close, I already have something to think about that might go beyond categories. But first, many thanks to everybody involved in the recent category cleanup! I will catch up carefully and will do my best to make the necessary changes to the Appl

It should not be considered "for testing only" no more than ifconfig or a bunch of other configuration and status utilities - you could bury all these somewhere, but it would make things worse. I'm using l2ping (which requires root and has no equivalent I know of), and rfcomm I am familiar with k

Someone else pointed out that it only supported V4L1 - but it gets worse. Chinook actually had the camera code and there was a hack I adapted from http://www.swift-tools.net/Flashcam/ which made the camera (but not audio) work. The latest update broke the hack. On Wed, Nov 5, 2008 at 5:27 PM, Me

Dear all, Catalogues in /etc/hildon-application-manager/catalogues will be fetched out and written into /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hildon-application-manager.list for later updates. But at the time when the package is installed, this file only contains , so I wonder when the catalogues used for upd
