So having the same Qt libraries will involve extras-devel or some such, and harder time at installation.

What is the meaning for MeeGo DE running on an N900 ?
Just another unstable RPM-package management open-source crap ?

Maybe I'm just being optimistic (esp given the history of the Diablo CSSU) but I really think Meego DE + Cordia + Community CSSU Meego Edition has the potential to be epic.

Is graphics acceleration working tear free, i.e. with Vsync support? That would be a huge improvement over Maemo 5.
I'm fairly used to using weekly (and daily) builds, I would say there is good improvement since the 1.1 release [UI slowness is a nasty one that needs looking at, it has too anyway]
I'm looking forward to a more usable UI so I can start doing the coding I wanted to for the n900, hopefully there will be more interest in people actually wanting to code (community wise) for the n900 than there was for maemo/n900
And yes, I WILL be trying the release candidate, and I'm not moaning about weekly/daily builds being **** - that generally is the point - they are hit and miss! That's all the fun

People wonder why Nokia would do this, but from looking at the bigger picture, I would be disappointed if they didn't do something like this. Fact is, WM7 is owned by someone other than Nokia and at any point Microsoft could cut the cord (or the other way around) or limit what Nokia can do with it.
While they don't own Meego, no one else really does either, and they can contribute and build on it what they will.
Not saying that I'm happy about the decisions Nokia made, considering I still think they cut themselves off at the knees if this decision discourages people from writing QT apps, but if Nokia wants to continue to be a mover and shaker in this industry, they can't do it while having to depend on another company for their OS choice.

Seems to me the pure plan A has been modified in the direction of the plan B, but maybe it is just wishful thinking.
Will Meego DE 4 N900 have RPM-support and -packet management?

The weekly snapshots for the N900 adaptation are based on vanilla meego, what I understood from the announcement is they are going to add application to this base for the most important use cases - phone, sms, browsing.
I do not know if there is a gui for the package manager, but I could wait for that for another release.
But maybe there are more applications waiting than the minimum; it is possible they will be released as well, maybe without the final polish.

All times are GMT. The time now is 19:14.
But it looks like there will not be (many?) official updates to Maemo.
So having the same Qt libraries will involve extras-devel or some such, and harder time at installation.
And of course, Maemo ecosystem comprises one device, while hopefully, there will be a few MeeGo devices in a while. I think that is still a plan for players other than Nokia...
