It is a strong sign that SHR is on a soapy ramp, and is sliding to > the trash .... Problem: Stability. Solution: Stop using bleeding edge stuff unless you need to. Window management: There are plenty of window managers out there that are working and stable, look for something that seems dead, if no one has an urge to fix anything it might just work? Gui toolkits: Enlightenment them self (http://www.enlightenment.org/) even labels there toolkit as alpha and beta releases. Yes it is fast and sexy, just like certain brands of sport cars Compilers: A computer science teacher at the university once said something along the lines of "If you find a bug in gcc you are often mistaken". I seem to recall an instance where a memory leak disappeared with a newer version of valac... Debian for a long time had no fso-gsmd, as a new enough version valac was not available yet. If you have to use valac... then pretty please use an older version... That way we don't have to run around chasing the head of vala as well. Problem: (Missing packages) Last time I tried to do any SHR based development I went down the install the compiler on the phone route as apparently does not have enough OE "mojo" to maintain a working OE environment. It went fine until "svn co", no svn.. ok lets compile... gah missing apache "cross platform" lib, lets compile... the dependency horror, more missing deps! Solution? Create a deb->opkg "alien" program to convert Debian packages into nice an friendly opkg packages? Problem: (Choice) I do not like Illume, just to many new bugs all the time. It is fast, good looking and all, I am just old fashioned... Others might be missing there favourite editor or some other thing. One of the things I like about free software is the level of choice. You don't like it? Well then use something else. Solution? Borrow the packaging work of others, Debian perhaps Gentoo? Oh wait, that's just missing packages as well :) > > The new revision of SHR-T we are talking about, is the last solution to > save SHR from death. > > > > > Le 16/10/2010 15:15, Jeffrey Ratcliffe a écrit : > > On 16 October 2010 13:47, Tim Abell<[email protected]> wrote: > > > >> * Will it be possible to get debian to fit on the freerunner's internal > >> flash?
