Re: [Announce]: MaeFlight for Maemo 5
 
A Harmattan version (N9 / N950) of MaeFlight is now available ! I chose to keep the same name for the Harmattan version since I like the way it is pronounced (i.e. My Flight), and as a show of respect to the Maemo platform.

I will see how to bring the look of the new version back to Maemo 5 when I get some time.

A small bug/limitation in N9 version (most likely in N900 also, but can't test now):
the program can't track flights with multiple segments, like DL143 or SQ26. Would it be easy to fix this?

Thanks a lot for the great program,
Ivan

Just saw this thread and tried MaeFlight on Maemo.
Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to fetch anything. Whatever I type in the airline and flight number fields, it doesn't show any results.
However, the first attempt makes the 'powered by...' text dissappear. So something IS happening. :)

The N9 version does support multi-leg flights. However, flightstats.com recently changed their website, so it is possible that something is broken now. With multi-leg flights, there is a banner that says "Multi-Leg Flight". I will check to see what is happening there.

The Maemo 5 version for the N900 is not working as expected. It is fundamentally different than the N9 version in the manner it fetches the data (requiring an API key, which has expired). After getting the N9 version working, I will see about configuring the build to also support the N900. Thanks for the pokes!

Re: [Announce]: MaeFlight for Maemo 5
 
OK. It was a problem with FlightStats.com changing something on their end. I have fixed the issue for the N9 version, and I will see if I can recall how to submit a build to the Harmattan COBS tonight.

Re: [Announce]: MaeFlight for Maemo 5
 
So, it has been close to two weeks, and the update to MaeFlight for Harmattan is still waiting to get into Apps-Testing. I haven't been following apps.formeego.org issues closely, so it may be related to that service being down?

In any case, the .deb for MaeFlight v1.0.2 can be found at the meego repo:

http://repo.pub.meego.com/home:/eipi....0.2_armel.deb

It fixes the issue with the multi-leg flight. Still no work on a N900 version at the moment.

Re: [Announce]: MaeFlight for Maemo 5
 
The maemo package is broken because this URL is not responding: http://www.visvanatha.ca/maeflight/.maeflight_tools
The install script tries to fetch this with wget and it fails. Is there any mirror for this? What is it that's trying to fetch?

Re: [Announce]: MaeFlight for Maemo 5
 
The Fremantle version does not work anymore. The file you reference was part of an API key that was not packaged with the binary and was downloaded at installation time. Fremantle version should be pulled from the repository. Sorry for any troubles.

Re: [Announce]: MaeFlight for Maemo 5
 
I have had Maeflight sitting on my phone for years.
Realizing that the Maemo5 version will never work again I tried to uninstall with dpkg, it tries to grab a file from www.visvantha.ca a closed site. Just for fun I left the N900 on a charger for a few hours and it just keeps trying to grab the unavaliable file rather than uninstalling. The package doesn't even appear in fapman.
I dont like to do force uninstalls when there is a bettery way to avoid breaking things, any ideas?.

Re: [Announce]: MaeFlight for Maemo 5
 
I backed up from a backupmenu image and ended up with maeflight on my N900.
After trying to again dpkg -r maeflight
I did a quick check for updates with Application Manager it now showed up as an upgradeable package, being curious I let it try.
Obviously its attempt to grab a file from the old maeflight API jammed it and I don't know how long it will take for app manager to time out, apt never did.
EIPI, this was a great app while you had a working API but that has been almost a year or two, is there a trick to uninstall it?
(edit)Very strange, I let it go for a while then finally needed the phone so I rebooted.
I got a message below the blue Nokia
"initializing software updates do not interrupt..."
then a shutdown and boot to normal
WTF is that?

Please I need to remove maeflight from my phone. I have tried all I could but the application won't get uninstalled. Pls help. thanks

Re: [Announce]: MaeFlight for Maemo 5
 
The problem with removing Maeflight (assuming you installed it recently - unsure what the situation is if you've installed it while it was working) isn't so much that the uninstall step causes a hang, it's more that it can't find a couple of files during the remove process and returns 1, which makes apt-get or dpkg think that the uninstall failed, and causes it to try to undo the uninstall by rerunning the postinstall script, which causes this issue. Found a workaround for this:

Run this first:

touch /opt/maeflight/.maeflight_tools
touch /opt/maeflight/a.pyc

before running apt-get remove maeflight.

(Side note: The N9 version works under Meecolay, but it has the rotation bug)

Re: [Announce]: MaeFlight for Maemo 5
 
Sorry about the Maemo5 MaeFlight issues. A few things have caused me to not be able to address this properly. Thank you aeon_light for documenting a workaround.

The Harmattan version works fine, and does not have the same issue as the unsupported Fremantle version.

Thanks, uninstall achieved! And thanks EIPI for the help via PM.
