I don't see any updates here. Why? My version is 3.2010.02-8.
Are you updating with the app manager or with xterm?

16 update . . right now!!

We're using App Mgr. Maybe the updates are from Extras-testing and Extras-devel.

No updates even enabling Maemo sdk. Maybe it's a different firwmware version... I'll wait.

We are talking about update of installed apps, say, if you have installed kmplayer, there is an update from Extras-devel....Just checked there are 14 updates in 24 hrs, something is eminent , again, if you happened not to have any of those programs installed, highly unlikely, you will then see NO updates.

For 14 updates, clicks the app manager menu on top border, there is a function "update all?", this saves you time to update one by one and wait for refresh of the catalogue after each updates.

Actually on the Dev list they announced they were switching part of the backend toolset dependacy program. And then they were rebuilding the apps in the Extras-Devel so that those apps that didn't need the new dependancies could/would work properly on the Pre-1.2 phones. So a ton of apps that used to think they wouldn't run; are now tagged properly as running on pre-1.2 phones.

This is to make things more compatible for those who don't upgrade (when it is released) and because no one has a clue when 1.2 will be released. Since we upgraded the "toolchain" in anticipation of 1.2 coming out soon (so that we would have lots of 1.2 compatible apps) and so far it has been a disaster of a move because 1.2 has not shown up and so everything was being "blocked" in Extras-Devel since no one could even install/test the "new" versions. Now their is only a "minor" number of apps that are blocked since 1.2 does have a new QT and libhildon. But otherwise the rest of the apps are now free to move to Testing and finally just plain Extras.

20 to update here

It's worth bearing in mind that this has been done by the community (maemo.org staff, primarily Niels/X-Fade; and the Community Council) in response to the issues encountered.

We don't know when PR1.2 will be released, but the reason for the work was also to prepare for PR1.3 (if it comes) and any other future updates. If it only fixes extras-devel for four days, so be it - but it'll still be worthwhile.

However, I'm amazed that so many people are updating from Extras-devel continually.

if these many people didnt update from extra-devel then it wouldnt really get promoted as there would not be many users testing...

Process goes:

1. Developer tests in local environment. Decides to start process of promotion.
2. Developer uploads to Extras-devel
3. Developer installs from Extras-devel and finds further bugs
4. Developer re-uploads to Extras-devel
5. When developer happy with -devel version and wants feedback and further testing, promotes to -testing
6. Developer gets more testing and, if no blockers are found, promotes to Extras.

If you're installing from -devel you are installing stuff that the developer doesn't think is yet suitable for widespread testing.
