Hey,
Opimd got rewritten according to the guidlines in this page:
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Opimd_redesign . New opimd is faster,
"smarter" and easier to handle, so we want to more it as soon as
possible, for both your sake and ours. I have been using it for
a couple of weeks now (I'm not the only one) and it works great and bug
free so there really is no reason why not to move.
The only "problem" is that new opimd has a different db design than the
old one, and therefore, you need to convert your database to the new format.
The database conversion takes a lot of time, so we have to think
carefully when we want to do it. There are 3 main possibilities:
1. Opkg postinst (will do it automatically when you upgrade opimd) -
Means a simple upgrade may take hours.
2. First run after the installation - (Again, takes a lot of time,
but ok)
3. When ever you want to, just add a nice message in opkg. - The
script converts databases, it doesn't import so you will loose all
changes done between installation and the convert.
I prefer the second, because it's cleaner than the others.
Very important note: new opimd does not support backends at all, if you
want anything that's not it's internal db, just import using pisi, this
is the price you have to pay for a working, solid and fast opimd.
Cherrs,

Tom.
can the conversion process handle interruption. not necessarily to pick up
where it left off, but to try again. that way it could be triggered in the post
install, but if the user turns the phone off it will be triggered again at
first run.
