  • Btrfs?
  • All the new 'noarch' stuff

XWayland missing, so no surprise there.

EDIT:

IIRC, they said the QML parts of SilicaComponents will be open - under BSD license (at least initially). This repo contains the QML parts together with the binary libraries, so that's probably the reason why couldn't be included in 'oss'.
Can you please point me where they said what'll be open and what not?

Nothing has been officialy announced yet, but regarding Silica, the important info (from Stskeeps) is here:
http://merproject.org/logs/#sailfish...2013-02-27.log
http://merproject.org/logs/#sailfish...2013-07-02.log

2013-02-27T10:43:53 <thp> in the emulator, the sailfishsilica package metadata says "License: TBD", qml files in /usr/lib/qt4/imports/Sailfish/Silica/ have a BSD license header - there's no open source git repo for silica yet, right?
2013-02-27T10:44:54 <Stskeeps> correct, it was said on fosdem that it will be open source and that has to be done properly, ie, open development, and a sdk launch is not a good place to do that
2013-02-27T10:46:30 <Stskeeps> the primary use of the QML parts is that you specialize the components by copy-pasting them
2013-02-27T10:46:43 <Stskeeps> for an app developer
So I guess it was publicly mentioned at FOSDEM (and it had been talked through few times in this very own thread as well...).

about 2013-07-02T17:17:11.

So it's not really known for sure what about the openness of Sailfish... Do you think they'll eventually release the source code?

How hard can it be to read the sourcecode of silica? In the header they say its BSD license the rest we don't know yet.

But as stated already by many is that the core apps will probadly not be open. Also I do not expect all drivers be open especially not GFX (no one has open GFX drivers on embedded this days)

Sry, but I'm not already keen with the rpm stuff Is there any counterpart of /usr/share/doc where the license file are given?

Most ofthe source are in the emulator and the SDK remember its QML

Don't remember lf rockchip has been mentioned, but because vgrade has got a new toy rk3188 mentioned on twitter I got to check it and realized that rockchip is a Chinese company and also has mobile SoC. start made me think maybe its Jollaphone has some kind on rk3xxx chip?

I hope they will. Otherwise I'd start using Nemo. I don't want a second Harmattan case...
