Heh. I knew that someone will write something like that sooner or later. Time will show what Palm will provide as official SDK.

Comment on 770 — what to do with it? by Marcin Juszkiewicz

I do not even remember when last time I switched 770 on… It is in a drawer somewhere in my office.

I agree, the SHR project has been bitten by opkg crashes and deficiencies for quite some time now. Going for apt might be a good way. have you looked at other package managers, such as pacman from arch linux. On a search this looked like a very decent package manager to me.

Im still making games for it. While Im also focusing on upcoming Fremantle and its OpenGL ES powers, Im still supporting software rendering for the 770 (why not? probably OpenGL ES will make my games look prettier, but run at the same speed). BTW, Im also at using OS2006 becouse of people like you - still using OS2006 for whatever reason that is and feeling the community just ignored older releases…

Whats so bad about DEB? I kind of like it. So far I've also tried PKG for EZX devices, but its a non-sanctioned format and vanilla Motorola phones doesnt know how to handle it. (belive me, I had this frustation a few hours ago, when I tried to copy a .pkg of a new game Im working on to a non-hacker and it didnt worked).

You might say that this is a political issue, not a technical issue - but so far, every Debian based device I've seen takes a .deb with no tears. The matter of having a standard base worth more than having a wonderful compression scheme or great dependence calculations.

Sure building a .deb can be a PITA as Gustavo said (It took me quite a while to understand how to do it - specially for Maemo), but I guess is the best we have right now.

Lenovo ThinkPad X200s. Potentially the most perfect laptop, especially when you get the high resolution screen.

apt-rpm is not maintened any more. Urpmi is still used by mandriva, but not suitable. I think that fixing opkg is the best solution. And I have also seen the memory problem on opkg, since some weeks on shr unstable. I suspect either a leak, or there i something that cause a big memory consumption.

There have been discussions in #openmoko-cdevel@freenode about creating a new package manager (actually an opkg rewrite). I think this should be done, I thought about lifting the glove on this matter, though I lack of time at the moment, though I think this is the way to go. And sa Marcin said, debian packages are a good idea, especially since opkg uses deb version 2 as well. We really need a client for embedded environments since we need it to work on our low memory environment (Although I gotta say, the FreeRunner has a lot of memory, at least enough for a "real" package manager).

Tom.

simple step back to IPKG…ever wondered why they wanted OPKG…IPKG works, so why change it?
