[maemo-developers] New release of Python2.5 for Maemo (r0.4-11)

[From: luciano.wolf at indt.org.br]

Hi Riku,

Good to know you like Python :)

To answer #1: PyMaemo uses 2 install files because Application 
Manager doesn't support multiple repositories inside a single 
.install. This limitation is to be fixed in the next release.

#2: To upload files to the extras repository you have to follow the
steps described at:
http://maemo.org/community/wiki/ExtrasRepository
It is not so difficult as it seems, just demands a lot of work :)

Regards,
Luciano Wolf

Why would that need python support *in* the platform? It should jsut be 
a matter
of putting ukmp and pymaemo in maemo extras and having a proper install file
for ukmp.

I see it's not true for now.

1) pymaemo needs clicks on two install files "base repo" and "pymaemo" why?
2) ukmp does not have a install file, but a .deb. according to 
maintainer uploading
to extras is "too hard"

^ those are the issues that need fixing, not adding arbitrary bloat[1] 
to the base system.
Which basically  foils down either limits in .install files and/or 
problems with using
garage. Next time someone is going to write a neat ruby application, it 
needs to be easily
installable as well, and you can't solve all dependency problems by 
adding everything
to official(tm) firmware.

[1] I do not mean python specifically, which I actually like.
