Hmm, thats weird - I remember setting it according to how Mappero names its folders but now it looks like it actually uses another name.

ModRana expect the Google maps folder to be called:
Code:
.maps/Google Maps
So, I see 2 possibilities how to fix that:

Editing the /home/user/.modrana/map_config.conf file and changing the Google Maps entry from:
Code:
[[gmap]]
  label=Google maps
  url="http://mt1.google.com/vt/"
  type=png
  max_zoom=21
  min_zoom=0
  folder_prefix=Google Maps
  coordinates=google
  group="google"
Into:
Code:
[[gmap]]
  label=Google maps
  url="http://mt1.google.com/vt/"
  type=png
  max_zoom=21
  min_zoom=0
  folder_prefix=GoogleVector
  coordinates=google
  group="google"
You basically just need to change to folder prefix. After that modRana will look for Google map tiles in .maps/GoogleVector/.

Please note that this file might get replaced by newer revision if a newer revision is available during a modRana upgrade - the old one should be renamed, not completely vanish.

Or if you just want to reuse the Mappero tiles in modRana, sou can just rename the folder so that modRana can see it with the default Google maps path:
Code:
cd /home/user/MyDocs
mv .maps/GoogleVector/ .maps/Google\ Maps

The autobuilder is still broken - I've submitted a new package just this morning and nothing. The last successful build was 6.11. and since then it is broken. Nemein reportedly upgraded the Python version for some reason, which broke autobuilder. I really hope they get their act together soon as many users and developers are left out in the cold at the moment.

See these two threads for more info:
Extras-devel package import stuck ?
downloads from garage.maemo.org fail?

BTW, theoretically it would be possible to dput a modRana package directly to the repository. But the guidelines say that only non-free packages can do that.

In the morning, I found a yellow pop-up saying that the operation was interrupted because of low memory. The phone was totally unresponsive. After 5 minutes of trying to coax it to react in any way, I gave up and pulled out the battery. After a reboot everything seems to work fine, only it took about 20 minutes to lock to the GPS signal. I would not blame modRana for that, I think it's simply the artifact of the GPS chip losing power. But the "low memory" error is a bit worrying.
Hmm, that looks like a memory leak - I'll check out the code to see if I can find there does it originate from.
BTW, as it uses multiple threads & runs in the background it sometimes behaves in strange ways on Fremantle.

Oh, I got your PM - but it looks like I forgot to to reply. Anyway, I'm really glad you got the postcard & like it!
