Re: [Updated Dec 21] Conky 1.9.6b n900 edition

Creamy poked me by email yesterday and reminded me to push the Conky 1.9.6-1.2 package from extras-testing to extras, which I've now done.

I've managed to get tolua++ built now and can build Conky...

Re: N900 kernel v45, why with uboot???

I disagree. I'm interesting in the kernel-power kernel, but I'm not interested in overclocking.

Re: [Updated Nov 15] Conky 1.9.0 n900 edition

Assuming Creamy hasn't pushed an updated conky through the autobuilder before then, I'd hope to be able to help out with any remaining packaging and extras stuff towards the end of December, as I...

Re: N900 Will not work in Mass Storage after PR1.3

Don't forget that if the tracker is scanning a mounted partition, then it can't be unmounted to allow the host PC to access it via usb. Always wait after a reboot until the tracker has finished...

Re: On the massive success of the Nokia Innovators contest at bringing us quality N900 software

I requested the source from Ovi/Nokia and 5 days later they asked for a bunch of details, including IMEI number, etc. I've been too preoccupied with family issues to follow up, but I will when I...

Re: On the massive success of the Nokia Innovators contest at bringing us quality N900 software

I'm not sure you've got the hang of this yet. Let me try and clarify it further.

As I understand it, Ovi Store can't legally distribute GPLv2 binaries without providing the source or providing a...

Re: On the massive success of the Nokia Innovators contest at bringing us quality N900 software

I think the licence page for Busybox gives a good comprehendable perspective on how those distributing GPL'd (v2 at least) code should behave, and how they should be fairly treated.

Re: On the massive success of the Nokia Innovators contest at bringing us quality N900 software

For £3 I'm happy too.

I've asked Ovi Store for the source, as the binaries were downloaded from their repo, but so far have received no response other than an auto-acknowledgement promising a...

Re: On the massive success of the Nokia Innovators contest at bringing us quality N900 software

The issue I'm curious about isn't anything Fabien has done or not done. The point is that Ovi is distributing GPL'd binaries without offering a means to get the source, which is AFAIK not kosher.

Re: On the massive success of the Nokia Innovators contest at bringing us quality N900 software

I got no such offer, so they would seem to be in breach of GPL already regardless of whether or not they provide the source to me.

Re: On the massive success of the Nokia Innovators contest at bringing us quality N900 software

I have purchased Stellarium Mobile from the Ovi Store and have requested the source from them. I purchased it primarily so I could confirm for myself that it did claim to be released under the GPL,...

Re: The N900 is a mobile computer, ok, now how i convince other people?

I had a lecturer who insisted on calling computers machines. I've picked up the habit from him. The N900 is just a smaller machine. OK, so it did replace my mobile phone, which was a device that I...

Re: what is rootfs? and how do i reduce RAM usage?

Re: Stricter policy for bugs.maemo.org

I think your escalation rate is a bit too high :)

Perhaps day->week->month->year may be slightly more forgiving.

Re: {Announce] SMScon (control your device with SMS)

That's teh advantage of python. You can see and modify the source/script very easily, you don't even have to go and fetch a source package to have a look at what it is doing.

I'd be more worried...

Re: Brainwashed by FUD

Actually, I think it needs some Rumour Control. Unfortunately, there is no-one, suitably equipped with facts, who is able to do Nokia's job.

Re: Will MeeGo finally end the Rapid Obsolescence Syndrome (ROS)

That's a big if, right there. Right now, it just spams me about 'Apps' I'm not interested in, to run on devices I don't have.
