I think it would have been inappropriate to release to chinook extras.

The diablo build could go in (diablo) extras since it at least does not zap your network connection... that would be -my- criteria at least (even though the bug seems to have been in the chinook os/driver and not program)

Its just plain cruel to have to mess with all these toolchains and dependencies manually. In fact i will throw down the gauntlet and say that Maemo should release a vm of a running maemo OS without scratchbox (but running with qemu diablo-arm sdk i guess). Give it a larger disk rootfs, bundle the sdk compilers and your ready for compilation of the (virtual) device. You can then enjoy all your fine maemo applications on the desktop, further increasing the mass appeal and acceptance of the maemo platform. Perhaps even a lighter maemo-player and heavier maemo-developer.

Beyond getting official sdk installed though i would need time to get a proper debian directory structure for packaging so it wont be overnight.

If some seasoned (or n00b) linux developer wants to do a quick debian directory and submit it, i should have the latest source directory snapsnot here :
