I must say, this is exactly why open source software works.

If you're not happy, fix it yourself and share it with everyone. I'm mightily impressed!

Re: My repository with system updates is now on-line.
 

@jacktanner: fixes from upstream are preferred, fixes from maemo bugtracker are acceptable. I do not want to spend time on development of apps but on incorporating existing fixes for them.

@sygys: patches + packages welcome as I do not have idea what bug you are talking about so will not fix it.

Re: My repository with system updates is now on-line.
 

its a bug in the mediaplayer widget on the home screen.

Lots of people including myself have problems with the play button, it most of the time just works. but sometimes it just doesn't react anymore. the back and forward buttons work fine.

Its like there is some sort of statement wrong wich prevents the play button from reacting.

I hope you understand what im trying to say. I have put a picture of the playbutton i mean.http://www.sygysweb.nl/download/home.jpg

@sygys, it sounds like unless you can point to a specific patch attached to a specific bug report in the maemo bugtracker, you're unlikely to see a fix from hrw.

@hrw, that sounds like exactly the right policy to me. as a user, i don't want to become dependent on some patch from you that doesn't get incorporated upstream.

I dont know how to point to a bug report! im just a user! If you guys after my explaination still dont know what i mean then i give up!

hrw You just make your own fixes i wont install them. Everything you fix has absolutely no value to me

Re: My repository with system updates is now on-line.
 

ouch, talk about cracking the sads!

love what you're doing hrw, keep up the good work XD

We know what you mean, but any one person can't tackle the entire chain of getting things fixed. HRW(http://talk.maemo.org/member.php?u=17745) has decided to focus his work where it will give him personal benefit--and let everyone else know. With a bit of coordination, everyone benefits. As we will benefit from knowing that the "play" button doesn't necessarily work on the desktop widget.

As far as "pointing to a bug report", it's a skill you can learn without learning programming. This link (https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5356) points at a bug report I found interesting. If that's what I wanted fixed, that's the link I'd hand to HRW.

You can use the search functions of the bugs.maemo.org website to find the right bug, or start a google search with "site:bugs.maemo.org" before your your keywords. My complete search was "site:bugs.maemo.org media player widget play button".

The bug id you want is https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7479.

@sygys: bad news for you - this applet is closed source so only Nokia can fix it ;( Good news is that in #5894 (#7479 is duplicate of #5894) there is a note that some things for fixed for PR1.2 so maybe it will be fixed.

@Alan: #5356 got moved to brainstorm which means "let someone write other Contacts app" so sorry, no bonus.

Re: My repository with system updates is now on-line.
 

any chance for this one? this is really driving me crazy...

I believe he can only post compiles for fixes already available but not yet released.
Unfortunatelly, your issue doesn't seem to have a fix yet.
