Time for some updates!
First of all, Harmattan support is done. Well, I'm not aware of any bugs at the moment to put it differently
. (Un)installation works in normal mode, open mode, and patched open mode; you won't have to worry about that part at all. To view the magic, click
here
and
here
.
I've contacted MohammadAG for inclusion of busybox-power for Harmattan in his incepted-repo and got a positive response (thanks ivgalvez for the suggestion!). The sources have been sent already
.
As always, debs are also available from busybox-power's
garage page
. Scroll all the way down to find the Harmattan builds. Don't forget to incept the deb or install it with AEGIS_FIXED_ORIGIN=com.nokia.maemo.
Do note that even though I have all faith in busybox-power for Harmattan (you don't want to know how much I've tested), it is still new and therefore has a higher chance to contain a bug.
Busybox-power for Harmattan depends on meego-confirm-text, which isn't available from Harmattan's community repositories yet. I have to make myself familiar with the current status of Harmattan's community repositories first. For the time being, you'll have to grab the
deb
and install it yourself. Luckily you only have to do this once
.
Secondly, busybox-power for Fremantle has been updated too. It now integrates dpkg-divert in the (un)installation process, so we won't have to worry about future busybox upgrades overwriting the enhanced binary. You can grab the thumbified version of this latest update from our garage page until it's available from community-thumb.
Lastly, most applets execute faster since our latest release. We've increased the copy buffer size in BusyBox' configuration, which -I quote from Debian's
changelog
- "
increases [the] speed of various applets dramatically
". Some quick tests performed by myself confirm this. Both the N900 as well as the N9(50) have enough resources to accommodate this larger buffer.
Enjoy!
