[maemo-developers] Mer Development Update

[From: David Greaves]

Hi

I realise that we spend a lot of time on irc and it may be worth mentioning some
things on email.

First off - please ask if there are any Mer questions... I'll do my best to answer.

I've updated pages around here recently:
  http://wiki.maemo.org/Mer/Build

There is a step-by-step guide to installing OBS[1] and building a gtk
application to run on mer (merpad!)

We're talking about getting apps submitted to the garage autobuilder to also be
submitted to Mer too.

If anyone is *really* interested there is some work we're doing to try and use
DVCS in the packaging process too. It looks really complex at first sight but
actually it's fairly simple - there's often just a lot of it. Ask if you're
interested :)

I am planning on developing an 'SDK' which is essentially a well-populated OBS
chroot.
