[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] Warning. Installing Maemo Development Platform

[From: Luca De Cicco]

Hi there this is my first post on this ml. I'm quite sorry for the
subject of this post (it would have better if i'd announce release of
some package...)

This day i downloaded Maemo Development Platform from the maemo website
and i was happy to know what was new and suddenly found out that all
interesting stuff is not included in this rootfs. 

Basically after installing the MDP you will have anything but XTerm and
an Hello World application and no way to get non-free packages. Also it
seems that the there's no way at the moment to get the product
filesystem back because the rootfs file is currently unavailable on the
nokia web-site.

So if you want to flash your device with the MDP SDK please have in mind
that you will have an unusable device for the daily use at least until
someone will get the product rootfs back on the nokia site.

I really hope that this problem will be fixed soon and that my next post
will be about some new package announcement :)


Regards,
Luca
