I don't even like to bring up the Deb vs RPM debate.

Now that Nokia does not "officially" support N900 Meego implementation, do you have enough pull with Intel to get things done?
Any first collaboration is hard between different work cultures and processes and in stressful situations things are bound to be tense. Intel did not include their own changes without issues, read further in the log - theirs got declined as well. We were a bit late to the party as we switched kernel version and this harmed us a bit.

After all this, I would have no difficulty sitting down and having a drink with the release guys. They're just doing their jobs and trying to find solutions.

Also, it isn't about Nokia vs Intel, we all sit somewhere in the MeeGo project. Once the project structure is published, things are clearer, process is visible etc.

Deb vs RPM I'm not going to start - I wrote debs before and I love rpms now. Without brainwashing
