[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] Unresolved issues (Week 44)

[From: Tommi Komulainen]

Here is a list of issues raised on this list I think have not been
concluded so far, in no particular order. The easiest way to get off the
list is to provide answers, but you can also try convincing me other
ways.

This is an attempt to improve our communication by providing a short
summary reminder for busy people to act on. I'll try to keep up with the
experiment for a few weeks and see what happens.

Many issues resolved since last week, which is good. Keep it up. OTOH
issues still keep on building up. Argh. Please, think of the kittens.


      * http://maemo.org/pipermail/maemo-developers/2006-October/005760.html
        Keeping the softkeypad from going away.
        4th mention
        
        "How can you keep the softkeypad from going away in a hildon
        application written in python?"

      * http://maemo.org/pipermail/maemo-developers/2006-October/005797.html
        building an application with custom kernel-headers
        3rd mention
        
        gcc (/scratchbox/compilers/bin/sb_gcc_wrapper) can't find a
        definition from custom kernel-headers? Works with pure arm
        compiler.

      * http://maemo.org/pipermail/maemo-developers/2006-October/005787.html
        End-user roadmap?
        3rd mention
        
        What's the future with the 770? When is the next Maemo or IT
        (2006) OS release planned? When are end users going to see an
        update?
        
        (Software update was released 2nd November. No mention of
        roadmap.)

      * http://maemo.org/pipermail/maemo-developers/2006-October/005813.html
        Maemo and Ubuntu Edgy: Is it safe?
        (USB API changed in Edgy. As a result the flasher stopped
        working.)
        3rd mention
        
        "Why is the flasher not open source?"
        
        (One possible explanation is the cold flashing feature which
        might require (possibly TI proprietary) ROM code:
        http://maemo.org/pipermail/maemo-developers/2006-October/005990.html)

      * http://maemo.org/pipermail/maemo-developers/2006-October/005827.html
        spam at maemo wiki
        3rd mention
        
        Any news on getting spam at maemo wiki under control?

      * http://maemo.org/pipermail/maemo-developers/2006-October/005947.html
        Not getting bugzilla notifications
        
        Is bugzilla sending notifications?

        Proper version of scratchbox? suse 9.2?

        kernel problems?

      * http://maemo.org/pipermail/maemo-developers/2006-November/006030.html

        Are the 2G and high speed MMC patches included in the IT2006
        upgrade?

      * http://maemo.org/pipermail/maemo-developers/2006-November/006027.html
        Scary message at the end of flashing
        
        Sending request 0x83 failed: Invalid or incomplete multibyte or
        wide
        character -- what does that mean?

      * http://maemo.org/pipermail/maemo-developers/2006-November/006033.html
        Connectivity API: ( osso_iap_connect() ), cannot see generated events
        
        connected callback does not ever get any signals, like
        OSSO_IAP_CONNECTED, OSSO_IAP_DISCONNECTED or
        OSSO_IAP_STATISTICS.

      * http://maemo.org/pipermail/maemo-developers/2006-November/006046.html
        where is the busybox source?
        
        busybox tarball from busybox site is not what dpkg expects:
        dpkg-source: error: file busybox_1.01.orig.tar.gz has size 1159999
        instead of expected 1170390
        
        (It'll probably be available in the soon to be released maemo
        sdk:
        http://maemo.org/pipermail/maemo-developers/2006-November/006042.html)

        microphone recording quality
        
        Recording sampling rate is limited in software to 8kHz due to
        some constraints on the DSP side.
        
        http://maemo.org/pipermail/maemo-developers/2006-October/005993.html

        Automatic wifi at startup
        
        It is not possible to skip error dialog from osso_iap_connect()
        when IAP is not found.

        thumb keyboard
        
        There's no API for choosing the type of keyboard, but one can
        hack it.
