Hi<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2010/11/1 Mohammad Abu-Garbeyyeh <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:mohammad7410@gmail.com">mohammad7410@gmail.com</a>></span><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
<div dir="ltr">Hello everyone :)<br><br>Some of you may have heard back in summer when I announced that I was working on an SSU, however, I decided to postpone it till PR1.3's out.<br>Now that it's out, I decided to work on it again. <span>Niels Breet (X-Fade) has kindly set up the repository on <a href="http://repository.maemo.org/community-testing/" target="_blank">http://repository.maemo.org/community-testing/</a>.<br>
<br>Me and X-Fade have come to a conclusion that instead of faking the Nokia meta-package, it would be better to make a new community </span><span></span>one (mp-fremantle-community-pr).<br>Unfortunately, while this might be the right way, it caused me some problems with the enabler package, so to work around it, a terminal window is started from HAM (postinst) and then the postinst exits, the user then has to exit HAM and go back to the terminal window to continue installation.<br>
<br>I've yet to make a complete changelog for this repository, however, I can confirm that <a href="https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10613" target="_blank">https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10613</a> is no longer reproducible with the new hildon-desktop in the repository, so that's a start ;)<br>
New system packages, all of them are based on the latest gitorious sources.<br>hildon-desktop (with Matan's patches) | hildon-home | hildon-application-manager | hildon-status-menu | modest (with patches for bmo bugs #3700 and #2563)<br>
<br>As per above, community patches are welcome for any of the system packages.<br><br></div></blockquote><div><br>Thanks for the effort.<br><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
<div>To enable the repository, open <a href="http://repository.maemo.org/community-testing/community-testing-fremantle.install" target="_blank">http://repository.maemo.org/community-testing/community-testing-fremantle.install</a> on the N900.<br>
<br>This is not a proper announcement for the SSU, but more of a prerelease before it's posted on <a href="http://talk.maemo.org" target="_blank">talk.maemo.org</a>, so please, do not post about this on talk.<br><br>
</div></blockquote><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;"><div dir="ltr">I'd appreciate any testing, suggestions and bug reports about this SSU, before I make a proper announcement about it.<br>
</div></blockquote><div><br>Are you also packaging the corresponding -tests packages [1] for the
libraries? I could give them a spin to see if they pass, etc. For the
community updates to be credible I think we should have some testing
going on for the provided updates.<br><br>After MeeGo's open test system [2] is stable enough it could be used to automate testing (if the
-tests packages and needed hardware [3] are available). At least I don't see any reason why it
wouldn't work with Maemo.<br><br>The tests can be also executed on device without the automation stuff. Basically you need to install testrunner-lite (available from extras-devel) and some test packages. then you do for example: 'testrunner-lite -f /usr/share/testrunnner-lite-tests/tests.xml -v -o /home/user/results.xml'<br>

<br>I'd also like to thanks Niels and Lucas Maneos (the Diablo community SSU maintainer) for their help in setting this up.<br><br>P.S. #maemo-ssu is the SSU's channel on Freenode.<br><br></div></blockquote><div>
