DamnshockDamnshock: re setup, what's the issue? <--- I find it kind of difficult an not very intuitive12:53
DamnshockI installed scratchbox and so on12:53
Damnshockbut... how am I supposed to develop for the device? can I use qtcreator?12:54
Damnshockhow can I test the cssu from git?12:54
Damnshockwhat's the proper way to build the packages?12:54
Damnshockthere are sooooo many things :S12:54
lardmanyou can use qt creator, yes12:54
lardmanRun it outside SB, point it to the Qt install within SB when it asks you12:55
lardmanthen go into SB and build the code there12:55
lardmanI'm also not sure about the CSSU stuff, but I guess you check it out, build it, install it and hey presto12:55
lardmanyes, there is a proper way to build packages12:55
lardmanuse dpkg-source -x package_name.dsc to extract the tarball and apply patches12:56
lardmancd into the dir it creates and use: dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot12:56
lardmanthat should clean then build, and spit out a deb or two in the original dir12:56
lardmanstunned silence? ;)13:00
Damnshocksorry13:01
Damnshockno no13:01
DamnshockI'm reading13:01
Damnshockmmmm13:01
Damnshockthe thing is... some packages depend on the others13:01
Damnshockcan I install them within scratchbox? or what?13:01
Damnshockiirc the cssu can only be compiled for ARM13:02
Damnshock:S13:02
lardmanyes you install them within SB13:02
lardmanyou won't be able to run them with a ui in ARM mode, but if they are deps then just install themn13:02
Damnshockmmm how can I test them, then?13:04
lardmanon the device13:04
*** WellMux has quit IRC13:05
Damnshockwow13:08
Damnshockthat's kinda a heavy burden13:08
Damnshockeverytime I compile I must move the packages to the device and then test them13:08
Damnshock:S13:08
Damnshockthat'll be difficult as I use my N900 for work sometimes13:09
Damnshockmmmm13:09
Damnshockit's kinda risky13:09
lardmanyes, but that's life13:09
lardmanI'm not sure whether some of the devs dual boot with the CSSU on an SD card13:10
Damnshockmmmm13:10
lardmanthat would be a possibility I guess, would take some setting up though13:10
DamnshockI wanted to work on that calender thing we were saying the other day13:11
Damnshockif we could build a calendar app that could rotate...13:11
Damnshockit's maybe the only thing I miss in portrait mode13:11
lardmanwell working on the calendar isn't very risky, unless you need to use the calendar every day13:11
Damnshocknot really13:11
lardmanworking on the desktop would be more risk as you could start reboot looping13:12
DamnshockI need the internet connection an the ssh client13:12
Damnshockthat's what I need the most13:12
lardmanwell I see no issue there13:12

DamnshockI'll what I can do, probably next month though13:16
lardmancool13:17
Damnshock*I'll see13:20
Damnshockhehe13:20
DamnshockI'm more of a scripting guy though13:20
Damnshock:S13:20
lardmanNot sure I'm going to get much done before then anyway13:20
Damnshockany thoughts about the calendar?13:20
lardmanBut I will see if I can build the Meego Calendar for Maemo13:20
DamnshockI mean, the UI13:20
lardmannot really, I need to sit down and think about it13:21
Damnshockmmm that sounds interesting13:21

DocScrutinizerlardman: (dualboot CSSU) not yet, as nobody made meego compliant with booting from uSD18:46
DocScrutinizerfor risk management I suggest installing backupmenu and creating a proper snapshot of your untainted system. In case anything goes bonkers with testing CSSU stuff you restore that image18:48
DocScrutinizerthere's a lot of fixes in cssu that can't get tested anywhere else than on a full maemo system (read "N900") - e.g patched hildon desktop, kernel patches, etc18:49
DocScrutinizerprimary aim of cssu is to supply (possibly BETTER/FIXED) versions of system software that can't go to extras-devel as they replace parts of the core system and so wouldn't install on a stock PR1.318:50
Damnshockas far as I know18:54
Damnshockit's a replacement for PR1.318:54
DocScrutinizerdefinitely not18:58
DocScrutinizerit's a auxiliary repository that provides a metapackage for core apps (those the system needs to function and thus are all included in the stock MetaPackage), plus the *alternative* parts for the bits in that metapackage that got changed19:01
DocScrutinizeras long as any bit of sw could get installed on stock PR1.3 it doesn't belong to CSSU19:01
Damnshockyeah, you are right19:01
DocScrutinizere.g you can have multiple calendars quite probably (diablo had quite a few)19:02
DocScrutinizerbut you can't have multiple alternative hildon desktops or dialers installed19:02
Damnshockbut I could substitute the dialer, right?19:03
DocScrutinizerso calemdar goes to extras-devel, while modified hildon desktop gies to CSSU19:03
DocScrutinizeryes, you can (in theory) substitute the dialer, and as there can't be more than one on a maemo system (probably), the new dialer would replace the old one and go to CSSU19:04
DocScrutinizergiven it exactly has the same functionality (plus addons) as the old stock dialer has19:05
DocScrutinizerand I'd like to add my PoV: it goes to CSSU not any earlier than it's been tested for some weeks on some devels' devices and has proven to work and not introduce regressions19:06
DocScrutinizerthen it might go to cssu-testing19:06
Damnshockthat should be the way to go19:07
DocScrutinizerif it works in cssu-testing for several hundered users for several weeks and no bugs show up (which damn better should be the case, for the devels' sake ;-D), it eventually will go to CSSU-stable19:08
DocScrutinizeratm we got WAY TO MANY completely untested contributions to cssu-testing, which better had stayed on some devel's private homepage or local disk, until they received quite a period of review19:09
DocScrutinizerand a cetain level of maturity19:10
*** m0use has quit IRC19:11
DocScrutinizerI.E. atm cssu-testing is misnomed and should be cssu-experimental19:11
Damnshockwell, strictly speaking you are correct19:11
*** mr_jrt has joined #maemo-ssu19:12
Damnshockalthough you must have extras-devel enable, don't you?19:12
