[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] Maemo ARMEL server

[From: Detlef Schmicker]

Hello,

I am quite interested in a big armel archive. I did a test setup with
Xvnc and vncviewer (both running on the N800), which allows to run
crosscompiled, but not ported debian applications, even if they are
graphic applications and need a keyboard. 

If we could set up an automatic maemo (from unchanged debian source)
armel repository, this would be realy great, as it would bring thousends
of applications onto N800 (Possibly N770 is to restricted with the
amound of RAM, and I did not try Xvnc on maemo 2.1).

There exists a debian armel port
http://lists.debian.org/debian-arm/2007/01/msg00034.html

but it uses somewhat newer libraries than bora. I tried one example
application (xvier), which had to be installed with a dependency ignore,
but than it worked within the Xvnc -> vncviewer chain.

Hope somebody is interested,

Detlef
