I just had a chat with Nat about this issue. Apparently the method currently used for working on TamTam is to jump on an XO, clone the git tree, and start hacking. This is why the so file is there.
...which, of course, limits the number of potential hackers (and, more importantly perhaps, testers/users/enthusiastic advocates) to the number of people who (a) have an XO and (b) understand the issues around this .so file.
We can *radically* increase the number of eyeballs in a hurry here by ensuring that TamTam works from jhbuild-sugar out of the box.
You suggest being able to get the correct .so file off a server, that sounds feasable. Is there a way of making git do this when it knows it's being cloned onto a system that's an XO? Or possibly TamTam could download it when it first runs and it notices it is missing...
Well, since it's only a problem for jhbuilders, why not add a "tamtam-bin" dependency in jhbuild that gets this .so as a tarball and dumps it in the right spot? (Unless I've misunderstood the problem...)
