So it's been mentioned that apps will have to be re-compiled for OS2008 (Chinook), largely because of changes in the underlying GTK framework. Seems resonable, I can live with that.
However, there are many important apps I'm using that don't make use of GTK at all. For example: OpenVPN, Subversion, rsync, gnu tar, traceroute, SSH, etc.
So my question is will "every" app need to be recompiled for use with OS2008 for some reason? Or is it just GUI based apps that will *absolutely* require it.
For me this would make a big difference in how quickly I could update my N800 (or get an N810)
Thanks!

Is there a list of already recompiled apps, and a wishlist of apps that should be recompiled? I would not upgrade without Xournal!

I'm happy to test things ... within reason of course. But the number of apps that work outside what's on the unit are currently limited.
I did install a version of Rsync tonight and it's there ready to go within the terminal which I'm sure you've seen is pre-installed this time.

, maybe I can post a few for you to try. It would be nice to get a list of working non-gui apps that are scattered around out there.
