Hello All,

A progress report and a question for everyone-

Adeona on MacOS uses a separate command line app to capture pictures. So I've got a couple of options for adding functionality to Adeona on Maemo.

1. I can create a command line app to grab pictures. Then a separate one to get GPS, another for audio, etc. Then adeona can control and call them at will.
pros- maintains upstreamability and a small memory footprint.
cons- more binaries == more to go wrong. It'll likely more issues for the end user.

2. I can create one helper daemon for maemo that gathers data automatically and passes it along to adeona.
pros- maintains upstreamability, gives a lot of functionality as the maemo daemon can choose when to take a picture or see when a GPS fix is achieved and grab a location.
cons- uses more resources. (more CPU/memory)

3. I can integrate everything into one executable.
pros- only one daemon makes setup and running easier with the same functionality as 2 above.
cons- larger memory usage and loss of upstreamability with the main adeona project.

I'm leaning towards #2 because it'll let me use a lot of the code I wrote for my own 'phone-home' app without me having to hack into Adeona too much. But I am open to ideas...

feedback anyone?

cheers,
