This is why I hate sleep. You go do it for 8 hours and then you come back to ~30 posts to respond to.

For now it's just newer code. It's code pulled from the aircrack-ng.org SVN just a few days ago - so all the improvements/bugfixes that the upsteams aircrack-ng project had between 1.0 and 1.1.

I AM currently adding the unstable=true and sqlite=true flags, so it would come with more of the tools in aircrack-ng than the previous versions. So the version I uploaded into the auto-builder as I typed this should have more stuff in it.

The internet being what it is I can't tell if you're being sincere or sarcastic there.

If I can't get the iw package updated with no conflict, that's what I'll eventually do. (Though it'll look messy in the repos, I think, as both will show up, right?) There's light on the fixing iw front. That packages maintainer responded and said that he thinks I don't need to even be made maintainer to upload new versions.

So I THINK I can just try to push an iw package with an updated debian/control file. That's what I'll be looking into later today.

Massive thank you. I just incorporated that into the rules file on my end. I actually tried to do exactly that earlier (on pure guesswork) but I couldn't figure out how to make a .deb on my end, and I didn't want to push a possibly break-everything-again version into the repos just yet.

I commented out maemo-optify in this version of maemo/rules because I already added a debian/optify file. Not sure which one is better, but if it comes out not optified this way, or otherwise broken, I'll revert.

Had to look up that one as I didn't know the technical designation. Joke makes sense now. At any rate, thank you.

If I wanted to put these up for download from a link, I've had precompiled 1.1 aircrack-ng binaries sitting on my N900 for months. There's even a thread where I posted them (the .deb is more convenient, unlike my .tar files, so thanks to creamy for that, but yeah). Not that I don't appreciate you being helpful, just saying - the whole point of me doing this is making it convenient for end-users to have a app-manager-accessible updated aircrack-ng.

@karam: same as my reply for StafanL: Good advice, and is certainly one way to do it, but if that was all I wanted I wouldn't bother trying to upload to the repos.

mr_pingu's solution for putting wlan0 into monitor mode until iw conflict issue is resolved is correct, btw.

And while I was typing this aircrack-ng 1.1-maemo3 has cleared autobuilder. Now we just wait for it to get from autobuilder to repository. This might break something (optification or symlinking from rootfs to opt) because of the above-mentioned change in how I told the autobuilder to optify, BUT, if it doesn't, great. The package is now also compiled with unstable=true and sqlite=true flags... assuming I didn't royally screw anything up anywhere...

- Edit -

I also figured out last night that zlib1g being a dependency is not a bug - that's a normal dependency of aircrack-ng 1.1, near as I can tell.

- Edit 2 -

1.1-maemo3 has just made it into extras-devel. Checking it out to see if anything is broken now.
