[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] Integration with the backup tool

[From: Jason Mills]

Simon-
 
After my post on the same subject a while back, I went and re-read that
specific portion of the documentation which you referenced as well. Yes, it's
a good starting point... but it is missing all of the "SHOULD" and "MUST"
verbiage of a platform-wide standard (such as an RFC, or POSIX standard).
 
 
Getting a "Built for Maemo" sticker (yes, I know, doesn't exist) for your
application should include things like proper User Interface / Application
Programming Interface / Platform Programming Interface integration... which
will only happen if the verbiage is strong enough to deter incomplete
implementations.
 
 
I think (though I can't speak for Philip directly) that the request was for a
more strongly-worded and detailed backup specification, including both
run-state (i.e., pause-to-disk) and saved-state (backup/restore) of both the
installed application's user data /and/ the application binary/libraries
themselves.

see http://maemo.org/platform/docs/tutorials/Maemo_tutorial.html#backup .

I have not tested this but if it doesn't work it is a bug...  :)
