Re: [ANNOUNCE] Mauku 2.0 for Fremantle
 

Use the old Mauku version 0.6.2? ;)

Mauku 2.0 is based on GTK+ and Hildon. There are only few widgets that are not available in Diablo (kinetic scrolling, for example, and I have implemented that already earlier). At least in theory it would be easy to port version 2.0 into Diablo also. However, I cannot promise that yet.

Another option would be to enhance the old Mauku to use the new Microfeed backend. Actually, version number 1.0 is reserved for that. :D Unfortunately I do not have enough time to make it happen (at least without help), but we are speaking open source software here. ;)

I might help... But I'm just starting to learn how to program with Maemo.

What is the best way to make the development in parallel, so that features can be easily included both in the Fremantle and Diablo versions?...

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Mauku 2.0 for Fremantle
 

Where's this development happening?
I took a look at https://garage.maemo.org/plugins/scm...hp/?root=mauku and there's no Mauku 2.0 to be seen.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Mauku 2.0 for Fremantle
 

In that case it would be easiest to either port the Fremantle version into Diablo or switch the backend code of the Diablo version to utilize the new Microfeed library. In both cases at least the same providers for network services can be used without any further efforts.

In my laptop. :) It is the fastest and most flexible way to do development when there is only one developer. ;)

The backend code can be found from www.microfeed.org.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Mauku 2.0 for Fremantle
 

I assume you're being facetious (because of the smiley) but:

1. With the current code sitting on your laptop you'll only ever have one developer (this is the same as Nokia doing lots of stuff internally and throwing it over the wall when "finished". Other developers could follow your commits and learn, or provide useful comment if development was done in the open).
2. "This is the fastest and most flexible way to do development" until you're hit by a bus. And then Mauku dies too.
3. "This is the fastest and most flexible way to do development" until you accidentally rm -rf the wrong folder.
4. "This is the fastest and most flexible way to do development" as long as you're sure you never want to refactor or experiment and know exactly what code is going to be written. Once committed you've got a safe place to go back to if your refactors/experiments don't work out.

In short (and with respect), you're wrong - you just might not know it yet ;-)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Mauku 2.0 for Fremantle
 

I know a lot. ;) Mauku has been open for two years. Either it has not been interesting project to contribute or I have been too active myself, since no single piece of code expect mine went to production releases. I received one patch of which I included into unstable codebase. Unfortunately, the developer of that functionality never provider update of his code to fix remaining bugs.

However, I have received nice icons for Mauku (kudos to Thomas Perl of gPodder). That is the only external contribution.

Of course, the situation may be different now. :) If someone is really interested contributing, there should be no problem to put code into public repository.

And one important thing: Mauku (the application) is only a small part of the whole. All other parts are totally open. The most important thing is the Microfeed backend (see the relevant thread). Also, the Mauku Widget is released under GPL, and you can see the code here: http://repository.maemo.org/extras-d.../mauku-widget/ . The application is not that different.

So, there are many spots to start helping me with Mauku. :)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Mauku 2.0 for Fremantle
 

Mauku 2.0 beta 2 is out now.

The development of this version has focused on stability. The application should be end-user quality now.

The next version may be the final (but not the last ;)) The focus will be on optimisations (speed and memory consumption).

Most of the work has happened in the Microfeed backend.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Mauku 2.0 for Fremantle
 

No, I think it's because Mauku has always "just worked" -- an it looks good too. :)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Mauku 2.0 for Fremantle
 

I have been testing a bit Mauku in Fremantle and it looks good except one thing I can't found: Twitter replies.

Is this feature removed in this version? Or should I go to sleep and try again tomorrow? ;-)
