Um, I posted my log before I updated with apt-get upgrade manually...

Is this community SSU process going to allow us to re-compile libsdl-mixer1.2 with more features (OGG Vorbis support) and provide it to the broader community as part of this update? If so, where do I go to propose such an update? I've got the package sources ready (patched from Diablo source).

Interesting, I don't see anything related to the community-SSU reporitory in your log. Can you double-check that you do have some variant of osso-software-version installed?

That's a very interesting question!

It's not just a simple matter of rebuilding as it pulls in libvorbis etc dependencies. That's not too much "bloat" (~1MB) but it does mean we'll have to package & distribute those as well, and be careful to avoid conflicts with extras (at the very least some coordination with Tuomas Kulve would be necessary).

Personally I wouldn't mind at all having Ogg support out of the box (it's one of the first things I install anyway), anyone have any good arguments against it?

The thing I would most like to see in an updated Diablo is a way of optionally running USB host mode with OHCI and EHCI controllers in place of the currently built-in MUSB.

This looks like the best hope for overcoming Bug 3281. The bug isn't "Fixed in Fremantle", but it is a serious limitation on N8x0's usefulness. With that fixed, I might be able to leave my 770 at home when travelling.

For end users, there would have to be some indication that the USB operation is host-only when this option is active.

I Have a n810 i would also happy to test.

If there is something wrong and it does stop working.
Am i right in saying the worst that could happen is that i would have to reflash it?

I'm not sure I am running the command right to check osso software version. I can tell you I see the new update you pushed. but it too says broken but able to update.

Is the application manager log still the same? Ie, does it still only mention ignoring xserver-xomap, kernel-diablo-flasher and libelfg0 as "from wrong domain"?

I've just noticed a new version--- (OS2008 Community SSU) 5.2010-12-2

Are testers to update ?... is this the one with "rotation support" mentioned a while ago?

Yes. It's still the same.
