I'm typing this while waiting for an application to build. A few observations -

The pace of development - quite a few packages released early on, less in the last few weeks. This may be more to do with folks sharing their personal "essentials" - I certainly appreciated ssh and Vnc - and some stuff that proved to be relatively easy ports. I'll admit to having some stuff on my 770, e.g. micro-emacs, that I probably should share. The more involved stuff is going to take longer, perhaps even requiring more than one person per port. So I doubt the pace has slowed, it's just not delivering installable packages at the same rate.

"Other Linux PDAs" - it's not just those that are in trouble, all PDAs have been in trouble for a while, because phones are now far more capable and because of the way they're sold seem cheaper to folks prepared to sign the contract. I guess that's part of why Nokia don't call the 770 a PDA. Anyway, without the software it isn't.

Anyway - my app has just built using my new approach, so the orginal source tree isn't modified at all, it just sits in a sub directory. So let's see if it installs and runs....
