At least in Germany, we say Le-go and sometimes No-kia and sometimes even No-ki-a.

What is the advantage of using RPM instead of using DEB and basing the system on the Debian distribution? Specially since they have support for more architectures then others?

Linux Foundation -> Limo linux (primitive OS) -> Bada from Samsung, OS without multitasking, castrated linux systems, no pc application compatibility

Maemo as an x86 system will be professional in the future, I would prefer it

But

I wont be suprised if MeeGo will be a castrated linux too...

So yes the RPM move is really stupid as dependency has always sucked with RPM and it's a shame as every major community oriented distro is DEB based.
So long for adding deb arm port to your repos. and getting more collaboration ?

Have they considered restarting the effort to have some sort of fat binaries for the platform? (that could maybe get stripped on install by a platform specific tool) Like this developer using the SDK wouldn't need to worry about compiling 2 (or more in the future) versions of an app.

If this gives some QT-MeeGo compat on the n900 and we get an OVI map 3+ that way, I'll be all happy.

I also hope it's not pronounced "Mégo" in french (cigarette butch).

Oistano pointed to Nokia's N900, a Linux-based smartphone introduced last year, as an example of devices that would benefit from MeeGo.
So, based on this Nokia exec's comment, sounds like N900 should be OK with MeeGo?

As far as i know there are none. Basically Maemo Debian style linux is going to be replaced with Moblins Fedora.

So this will not be good for you if you like Debian Linux and apt-get.

Didn't get the love you were looking for yesterday? Well, you'll have to wait a little longer. Hopefully not too long.

Meego will be a debian-based system after all, or not ?
I'm confused with this rpm thing
I just can't imagine a debian system with a rpm packaging

And then there was the Transformers joke. And Maemo. And Ovi.
