[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] Unresolved issues (Week 45)

[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.


      * http://maemo.org/pipermail/maemo-developers/2006-October/005760.html
        Keeping the softkeypad from going away.
        5th 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
        4th 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?
        4th 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.)
        4th 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-November/006027.html
        Scary message at the end of flashing
        2nd mention
        
        Sending request 0x83 failed: Invalid or incomplete multibyte or
        wide character -- what does that mean?

      * http://maemo.org/pipermail/maemo-developers/2006-October/005985.html
        MMC - multiblock writes
        2nd mention
        
        Does OMAP 1710 support multiblock writes safely?

      * http://maemo.org/pipermail/maemo-developers/2006-November/006151.html
        preferred application
        
        How does file manager select which application to open a given
        file with?

      * http://maemo.org/pipermail/maemo-developers/2006-November/006152.html
        extras packages for sardine
        
        Is there any way to upload extras packages for use with sardine,
        instead of just mistral?


Not sure if these were completely resolved. Needs more information from
the original authors if these didn't answer their questions.

      * http://maemo.org/pipermail/maemo-developers/2006-October/005976.html
        Proper version of scratchbox? suse 9.2?

        Scratchbox Apophis is not affected by the 2.6.18 bug.
        http://maemo.org/pipermail/maemo-developers/2006-November/006101.html

      * http://maemo.org/pipermail/maemo-developers/2006-November/006033.html
        Connectivity API: ( osso_iap_connect() ), cannot see generated
        events
        
        Nothing immediately wrong in the code. Needs more details.

Resolved since last week:

      * http://maemo.org/pipermail/maemo-developers/2006-October/005827.html
        spam at maemo wiki
        
        Pages attracting the most spam (FrontPage, HowDoiBecomeRoot) are
        editable only by registered users. Seems to have fixed the spam
        problem.
