OBS and Fremantle .... 193 Extras apps built...
 

A couple of posts on Planet Maemo that may be interesting

• Community Building for Maemo and MeeGo - What does the OBS *Do*? [1]

and

• OBS and Fremantle ... huge success :) and HELP!!!! [2]

Essentially work has been proceeding on the OBS and we now need experienced maemo build system people to help get it working properly.

Talk to Neils or I for more details.

For when they've scrolled off into the the planet's crust:

"/usr/bin/hildon-update-category-database: I don't have write permission on /usr/share/mime.
Try rerunning me as root."
(I'm a noob) I'd do a chmod 777 :D (I'm a noob)
Would you perhaps have to comment out the permission check by hand?

The main issue is that that problem occurs using the official released package.

The change probably is trivial - but then the OBS will use a slightly different package to that in the SDK....and it is by no means the only sdk package that doesn't quite work in a clean/minimal non-scratchbox chroot.

maybe a meta-package (maemo-sdk-obs?) to install the maemo buildroot + post install script to fix all isuses

how we can test the maemo obs ?
