[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] Unresolved issues (Week 47)

[From: Tommi Komulainen]

I'm rather busy right now so I skimmed the list archives more quickly
than usual so I may have missed something interesting. Please make a
note if I did.

I'd like to ask people replying to this mail to change the Subject
accordingly. It makes scanning the mailing list much easier. Thanks.


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.

      * 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.)
        6th 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
        4th mention

        wide character -- what does that mean?

      * http://maemo.org/pipermail/maemo-developers/2006-October/005985.html
        MMC - multiblock writes
        4th mention

        preferred application
        3rd mention
        
        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
        3rd mention
        
        Is there any way to upload extras packages for use with sardine,
        instead of just mistral?
        
        Not yet.
