Hi all,

I am the current port maintainer of the Maemo port of scummvm at scummvm.org.

Here's some history as to why 1.4.0 shipped with no official support for N900.
  • The old maintainer released 1.2.1 and didn't release 1.3.0 or 1.3.1 because he was busy and the project leadership wanted to drop official support for the maemo port unless it was refactored to be more acceptable (that's where I came in and took over the work from fanoush)
  • I only own an N810. fanoush had all of them I think.
  • I've been calling out to N900 owners to test the daily builds that I've been making available on the scummvm.org forum.
    I even made a post in this site in a place where I now realize is dedicated to OS2008.
  • The only N900 owner that responded was NerdKnight and that was after the release.

So a lot of is my fault and I hope to correct it with the official 1.4.1 or 1.5.0 release (whichever comes first)

I will be working with NerdKnight to provide packages for N900 in the maemo.org repos. We are now both maintainers on Maemo.org

NerdKnight is obviously more involved with maemo.org and will help out here, while I will mostly check the scummvm.org forum and bug tracker.

Thanks to all of you for your support and special thanks to NerdKnight for bringing the bugs to my attention so I could fix them and also bring up the fact that no one had been uploading the packages to maemo.org repos.
