Re: Ask the Council!
 

Just curious: (and I know it wasn't the council)

Who updated the autobuilder to sdk1.2 for Fremantle, and why?

I know I've run into several apps that won't update due to dependencies that will only be available once PR1.2 is out. I've seen threads on several more. I'd guess about a dozen in all. If I understand things right, this will only get worse as time goes on, ie more apps that won't update because of dependencies.

(Even worse, I recently re-flashed my firmware, now at least one app I want won't install at all)

Will this cause problems with the QA testing? It seems there is a bit of a backup already, which seems like it will get worse if a bunch of apps move from devel to testing all around the same time when PR1.2 gets released?

Obviously (to me), this will only get worse the longer we go until PR1.2 is available.

Hi,
Niels. The change was proposed and announced here: http://lists.maemo.org/pipermail/mae...ch/025437.html

The goal was to allow developers to get their apps built for PR 1.2 and into Extras before the firmware images came out.

http://lists.maemo.org/pipermail/mae...ch/025668.html

This kind of backfired because so many people are using extras-devel on their N900s, and because developers couldn't test their own apps to get them promoted from extras-devel to -testing to extras-1.2, since they didn't have PR 1.2 firmwares.

Probably, yes. Niels (ref. above) is looking at some hacks which will help with libhildon issues.

You should worry... if only.

Re: Ask the Council!
 

Thanks for the links. Now I understand the why better.

Next question for the current and new council: How long?

Yes, I know until PR1.2 and nobody can say when that is :( There are already multiple threads concerning problems. It'll start looking pretty silly in a week or two if there isn't a work around or release of PR1.2.

My N900 (my fault. because I re-flashed it) is already less useful to me, as apps that I came to depend on (again my fault for using devel stuff) I can not re-install :(

In the early days of Google I had that problem, too.
