Re: [Leaked PR1.2 RC] Info and Discussion thread

OK, I'm feeling really lazy now and I can't be bothered to read all these threads about Leaked PR1.2. So, would someone briefly explain to me what happened? I'm in my holidays now, so I haven't been following maemo.org so much. ;)

Taking that into account - a leaked PR1.2 is definitely a Nokia product.

Didn't they release the Fiasco image maker with the Meego codedrop though? It was initially packaged by Nokia for sure, but what took someone a month to release it to the public? That's enough time for someone to add something to it.

Re: [Leaked PR1.2 RC] Info and Discussion thread

I don't get it.

Now that more people are jumping on the "this is great" bandwagon, is the purpose of this thread now to encourage people to flash their N900's with any old thing they find on the intertubes?

If So: Is it because someone knows that this leak is free of malicious code ?

If So: Then someone knows the producer of this leaked build.

If So: What is the purpose of this leak?

...just wondering. :confused:

***

On one hand it is good to know things are improving but on the other hand most of this is known from the SDK analysis.

I can wait because in both the SDK and users reports nothing is going to be added that will allow me to jump higher, run farther, or see through solid oblects or suttin'

The problems I do foresee on this forum are down the road.

As new apps are announced here, developers may get useless feedback from users who may still have this build installed.

Instead of collaborative threads where improvements come quickly, these threads may become bogged down with Billy's "Your program made my phone crash" nonsense.

3 pages later Billy's negative statement is traced back to Billy's installation or flash history and not the announced application itself. By that time many have moved on and nothing is accomplished.

hhhmmmmmmmm scary

Re: [Leaked PR1.2 RC] Info and Discussion thread

Hey, just wondering, when PR1.2 is released officially, it will be device upgradeable right? No flashing required?

Although this note is right in general, but taking into account the leaked PR1.2 package content it is highly unlikely that it was created by somebody outside of Nokia software build department.

The leaked PR1.2 has a couple of Nokia private components which fix a couple of bugs and which are not possible to create without hard work and access to Nokia source software repository.
