blubbihi all, I got my n900 a week ago and now I would like to propper port some of my favorite applications to Maemo. Just small stuff like the text editor Joe.12:31
ruskiethat should be easy enough12:32
blubbiIs there a howto/Guide how to do the packaging? I am a Gentoo user, so I never messed around with debian packages :-)12:32
ruskiesetup an SDK12:32
ruskieadd deb-src for etch|sid12:32
ruskieapt-get source joe12:32
ruskiecd joe*12:32
ruskiedpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot12:32
ruskieget the built package there12:33
ruskieshould work for most cli stuff generaly12:33
blubbihu, okay thats easy... would have crosscompiled it with /opt/ as prefix :_)12:33
blubbiruskie: Okay, I'll get my hands on one of these VM SDK and try my luck12:34
blubbiruskie: thanks a lot12:34
ruskieit isn't a VM :)12:35
ruskiethere's a script on the page or you can emerge the stuff... but you'll need to look it up12:35
ruskieas for /opt there's maemo-optify somewhere as well12:36
blubbiBut there are "Ubuntu VMS" with all SDK stuff preinstalled?12:36
ruskiefrankly I don't but then I did a repartition :)12:36
ruskieno clue12:36
blubbiruskie: you repartitioned the N900?12:37
*** hrw|gone has quit IRC12:38
blubbiI thought the 200MB are located on OneNAND and therefore you can't extend this partition?12:38
ruskieyou can always mount /usr to emmc ;)12:40
ruskieI have a 5gb /usr that is a partition on the emmc12:41
*** hrw|gone has joined #maemo-devel12:42
blubbiokay, thats a good idea12:43
ruskieit's documentod on t.m.o - just search for repartition12:43
ruskiethere's 3 different procedures at that12:43
blubbiBut i first have to get my hands on a 16GB Card to backup my data :) before messing around with the FS12:43
ruskie:)12:43
blubbiruskie: as long as maemo cant sync via GroupeDAV or MLsync over http I am stuck wich "local" backups :-(12:44
ruskieI'm wondering if I can use flasher to read the entire device12:45
blubbiruskie: t.m.o? What's that?12:45
ruskietalk.maemo.org12:45
blubbiokay12:45
blubbiwhy not use cat on /dev/{devices,list} to read the eintire device?12:47
ruskieand store it where?12:47
ruskieI don't have large SD cards :)12:47
blubbion the externam memory card12:47
blubbiruskie: ah okay12:47
ruskiehell I have no clue what to do with the 20gb I have for /home now12:47
blubbiokay, what yout sshfs or NFS12:47
ruskieI rarely have so much data I need with me12:48
blubbiruskie: ack12:48
blubbibut it would not be that harad to mount an external NFS/sshfs vie WLAN and then dump the stuff there12:48
*** OldNugget has joined #maemo-devel12:48
ruskieblubbi, I can do it with netcat if I really want ;)12:49
blubbimight not be the fastest way :-)12:49
ruskiebut a flash image would be nicer12:49
blubbiruskie: right12:49
blubbiuiii, there's dev-embedded/scratchbox-devkit-maemo3 in portage...12:53
ruskiethis being maemo512:53
ruskiesearch on t.m.o or wiki12:53
ruskieiirc there is some mention about it12:53
blubbiruskie: k, I'll keep on searching12:53
blubbiruskie: but how's the naming strategy if maemo3 is maem5?12:54
ruskieit isn't12:54
ruskiethat's old iirc12:54
blubbi1.0.3 the ebuild says12:54
blubbiI'll keep on searching (would rather stay on gentoo then using debian or redhat or something similar :-)12:55
blubbihttp://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=420940 nice "gentoo x86_64 SDK"12:59

ruskiehmm isn't it mentioned on his wiki page?14:29
Stskeepsmaybe14:29
fnordiansliptrying to add a .desktop file and both desktop and package icons to my conky port.  any tips? i've tried adding a uuencoded 48x48 png to control, but the build says "dpkg-genchanges: warning: unknown information field `Xb-Maemo-Icon-26' in input data in package's section of control info file"14:30
Stskeepsjebba900: it would be good to seperate getbootstate and /sbin/preinit, yeah14:31

Stskeepsi'm finally free of my thesis hell at least for a month, so i'm back in my role14:51
jebbafnordianslip: that icon warning is just noise, should be fine.14:51
Stskeeps:P14:51
jebbacool.14:51
jebbawhat's your thesis?14:51
w00tnnnnnnnnnnooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-14:51

Stskeepsthat it's possible to improve rehabilitation with computer vision and mobility detection14:51
Stskeeps:P14:51
jebba:)14:51
ruskiesounds interesting14:51
Stskeepsnot really14:52
Stskeeps:P14:52
fnordianslipjebba: cheers.  now i'm wondering what the easiest way to add the desktop and icon files is.  do i have to hack the makefile, or i can i do it in debian/control somehow?14:53
jebbatake a look at my burgerspace. 1 sec14:54
jebbahttp://www.freemoe.org/users/jebba/scratchbox/burgerspace/freemoe/burgerspace-1.8.3/debian/rules14:54
Stskeepsjebba: any interest in helping out with mer/n900 when time is?14:55
jebbathough there is an .xpm in in there that gets put in /usr/share/pixmaps that I need to rm14:55
fnordianslipcheers again14:55
jebbaStskeeps: ya, definitely14:55
Stskeepsk14:55
jebbaStskeeps: my goal is 100% free n90014:55
Stskeepsand mine is 97% (some hw blobs), so we can probably follow most of the way :P14:55
* ruskie wants that as well14:55
ruskieI can live with binary firmware14:55
jebbabinary firmware for the lose14:55
ruskiefeel free to reverse engineer it :)14:56
ruskiebut apps should all be free :)14:56
jebbanot sure what needs binary firmware at this point. A quick glance at the wifi  i didnt see one (!) but i may have just overlooked it14:56
jebbayou know what other firmware it's using?14:56
jebbathe killer I see at this point is battery & GL video14:57
fnordianslipjebba: and you keep those resource files in the debian dir?14:57
jebbaso we may have to use openbox & 2D  ;)14:57
jebbafnordianslip: which resource files? sry? the icons?14:57
ruskiejebba, nahhh fvwm ;)14:57
fnordianslipicons and desktop files?14:57
ruskielighter and more configurable :)14:57
jebba.desktop files you can put in the debian/ dir14:57
ruskiecould probably make the current layout into a fvwm config easily :)14:58
Stskeepsjebba: at least once we get token repos going, some of those problems are fairly more sane to deal with :P14:58
Stskeepsbut GL drivers are -really- weird14:58
ruskieI do hope oFono once it's there will be available for the n900 to replace the current framework14:58
Stskeepssome claim TI allows redistribution of the SGX libs14:58
fnordianslipjebba: i see you have 64, 48  and 32 icons.  why?14:59
jebbaolder debian packaging CAN'T INCLUDE BINARY FILES! I found this very lame. So to include an icon (e.g. in the diff), you have to uuencode it (no shit), or re-tar the .orig.tar.gz (which I did in burgerspace, but is a bad approach IMHO).  The newer debian packaging can handle things like icons.  You may be able to do it if you set up your debian/ to use quilt for patches, but i've only just touched on that.14:59
ruskieStskeeps, why not ue the pandora work and get a driver out of that?14:59
jebba32 size icon cuz it is what came with burgerspace. WIll rm that one. "VDVsx: 48x48 for the app menu and 64x64 for the desktop shortcuts "15:00
jebbaofono seems to be very well advanced actually. I bet it could even make calls and such with the n900 now if someone bothered to go thru it all15:01
Stskeepsruskie: afaik that is just vaporware atm (libs)15:01
ruskieI hope the interest might pickup... to bad amd isn't in the embeded graphics market15:03
fnordianslipjebba: thanks.  your a useful guy to have around :)  sorry for all the questions15:04
jebbano problem at all.  :)15:04
ruskie:)15:05
jebbai gathered lots of this info bugging people on irc too. ehha.  especially  vdvsx, he helped a lot.15:05
*** jebba900 has quit IRC15:07
jebbaah, plus i don't really like the "RTFM" attitudes in some channels... I mean, it's not like we haven't all read enough fkn manuals. Nice to just get a quick answer about something like icons instead of wading through a dozen wiki pages with old info scattered about and trying to search for things like "debian icon patching the dirty ho" etc...15:07
jebbairc makes it easier  :)15:08
ruskieyup15:08
ruskiethough it also has the possibility of burnout15:08
fnordianslipits hard to find all of the bits of the manual, so its more like FTFM :)15:09
jebbaya, then you can just /igore or whatever, you're not obligated to answer the same question. But go into #openbsd and ask about default routes or somethign and shazang! you'll get lynched by 50 people who could all answer the Q in 1 sentence instead....15:10
jebbaya FTFM is exactly it. The wiki needs a bit of refreshing. I'm gonna organize my page into sub sections then eventually see where it should go in the main wiki.15:10
fnordianslipi think i've just groked that the rules file is just another makefile, isn't it?15:10
jebbafnordianslip: ya, more or less. That's where ./configure is run from if it exists, for example.15:11
ruskiejebba, not my opinion of the openbsd crowd.. but I did get that when I tried it on freebsd15:11
jebbait is like foo.spec if you've done .rpm packaging.15:11
ruskiethe rule file from what I can tell is a Makefile15:11
ruskiejust named differentely15:11
jebbai love openbsd, but i would sweat for like 5 days over manuals before i dared ask anything around htere....15:11
fnordianslipfor my sins, i've been doing stuff with Windriver Linux, which is rpm based, but has a bespoke build system15:12
jebbait's more like a shell script, but ya. Could be in makefile format too.15:12
ruskieI tend to ask after I do a search and I mention that15:12
ruskiejebba, it is a Makefile... se the bottom and the escapes and so on :)15:12
jebbai actually like RPM packaging by comparison and I always though apt way superior....15:12
ruskieI dislike all binary packaging :)15:12
jebbaruskie:  i think it can be either. Like if you go #!/bin/sh or /bin/makefile -f or whatever it is15:13
ruskieI prefer spells(ref: source mage GNU/Linux) :)15:13
fnordianslipwell, i am reading the wiki, but can't find everything that i'm looking for.15:13
jebbai *think*  (but not so well sometimes)15:13
ruskiejebba, shell doesn't have .PHONY target ;)15:13
ruskieand target: whatever15:14
ruskie:)15:14
jebbaruskie:   !/usr/bin/make -f    if it starts liek that, ya.15:14
jebbabut i think that is arbitary.  You could #!/bin/zsh if you want or whatever15:14
fnordianslipgood spot15:14
ruskiehmm I wonder15:15
*** timeless_mbp has joined #maemo-devel15:15
ruskieif it could be a script that would make packaging dead easy15:15
ruskieI wouldn't be suprised though if some dh script would complain about it somehow15:15
jebbaok, i shut up. every single rules file I looked at starts with #!/usr/bin/make -f    ;)15:16
ruskie:)15:16
jebbafnordianslip: this is something left out of my rules that i haven't fixed. It's a one-liner no doubt, but i don't knwo what it is, if you happen to stumble across it:  "Bug-tracker missing in package-desc/app"15:19
fnordianslipo you get that from the autobuilder?15:20
fnordianslipdo even15:20
fnordianslipexcuse my missing letters, i have a macbook pro15:20
jebbaa dude reviewed the package (quite well):  http://maemo.org/packages/package_instance/view/fremantle_extras-testing_free_armel/burgerspace/1.8.3-10/15:20
jebbaheh15:20
ruskiewhat is burgerspace?15:20
jebbathe greatest15:21
* fnordianslip has to wait again for maemo.org15:21
jebbawell, supertux is the greatest, but burgerspace is quite good. very cute for n900.15:21
ruskiebtw "Bug-tracker missing in package-desc/app" iirc that's an extra field to assign a bug tracker for each app15:21
jebbaya, but what bugtracker? bugs.m.o? I suppose i'd have to request it be added there or something.  I'm not gonna set up bz for this ;)15:21
fnordianslipdev/null should do it15:22
jebbaan actual haha15:22

blubbito the stuff has to go to /usr/bin16:43
Stskeepsyes, and optification will move it to /opt16:44
blubbiStskeeps: completely?16:44
Stskeepsyeah, and set up symlinks16:44
blubbiokay, I understand16:45
jebbaactually:   ~ $ supertux16:46
jebba-sh: supertux: not found16:46
jebba~ $ ls -l /opt/supertux/supertux16:46
jebba-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root       396560 Dec  9 21:34 /opt/supertux/supertux16:46
jebbaand then the .desktop file just runs /opt/supertux/supterux16:46
jebbanow if your package is `colordiff` or something you probably want that in the $PATH.   In supertux the only thing put in /usr is the icons & .desktop file16:47
Stskeepsjebba: anything with libs would be hell though :P16:47
jebbaI use supertux as a reference for GUI applications because i believe it was done correctly  because VDVsx appears to know WTF he's doing16:48
VDVsxno, I don't know :P16:48
VDVsxIMO for Apps that's the correct way, no need to create thousands of symlinks in the system for nothing16:49
VDVsxalso no need to use maemo-optify, just place everything into /opt (apart from libs of course)16:50
jebbaStskeeps: /opt/maemo/usr/lib   appears to work for a package that burgerspace depends on (libzebra)16:50
jebbalibflatzebra16:50
jebbaand I didn't do any extra $foo to make burgerspace find it there16:50
*** jebba900 has joined #maemo-devel16:51
jebbadunno if somewhere/time ldconfig /opt/maemo/libs is run--must be16:52
blubbiso is there any guide? Maemo file system guide?16:53
VDVsxblubbi, about /opt ?16:56
blubbiabout placing files16:56
blubbifor example i was looking at AccDisplay http://maemo.org/packages/package_instance/view/fremantle_extras-testing_free_armel/accdisplay/1.0/16:56
blubbisome Python files go to /opt/accDisplay/16:57
VDVsxblubbi, my recommendation: new apps should put everything into /opt apart from the icons and .desktop file16:57
blubbibut the executable is in /usr/bin16:57
VDVsxblubbi, if you're using a .desktop file you can put the exc anywhere in the system16:58
blubbiso from what I read here the bin should also go to /opt/accDisplay/ and then should be symlinked16:58
VDVsxblubbi, if you want to use to have it in the console path,yes16:58
VDVsxs/use/have it16:58
DocScrutinizer51Seems reasonable16:58
blubbiVDVsx: okay, and the icons and Desktopfiles go where?16:59
VDVsxblubbi, normal places for maemo16:59
jebbablubbi: IMHO if it is a GUI app you expect people to launch by tapping at it, just leave it out of /usr/bin.   If it's a command line app you think  people will run from the xterm (e.g. some dev tool, git, diff, telnet or whatever)  then put a symlink in /usr/bin16:59
VDVsxyou can use symlinks to16:59
VDVsx*too16:59
fnordianslipnice. i now have a cool picture of Conky himself for the conky icon16:59
blubbiVDVsx: thanks for the clarification17:00
blubbiVDVsx: I am just reviewing some apps I use on my phone and commenting them :-) Next step will be to port joe for maemo :)17:00
VDVsxblubbi, the desktop file is very small, IMO there no need to create a symlink, same for some icons17:00
DocScrutinizer51how about moving /usr and /var to eMMC?17:01
VDVsxDocScrutinizer51, fat3217:01
blubbiDocScrutinizer51: unneccessary if everyone sticks to the symlinking I would guess17:01
DocScrutinizer51not the whole eMMC is vfat17:01
blubbisecond it would slow down the access17:02
blubbiwouldn't it?17:02
DocScrutinizer51not significantly from what I heard17:02
* DocScrutinizer51 seems to remeber somebody's quote of NAND:15 eMMC:12 uSD:10 or similar ballpark17:09
*** korius has quit IRC17:12
DocScrutinizer51on a system with only 256MB on bootdevice and as much as 32G elsewhere - with /fs filled at least 2/3 but easily 90% - I'd honestly stick to the classic partitoning/filesystem setup of a bare minimum (like /boot /etc /bin /sbin /lib /root) on bootdevice. And have all other dirs, particularly /home /usr /var /opt on extended storage own partition(s)17:14
blubbiDocScrutinizer51: would make sens17:15
blubbione might keep the UI on the OneNAND...17:16
DocScrutinizer51*g*. Not invented here. Probably kernigan and Richie invented that17:17
fnordianslip'm pretty sure that lvm doesn't work with MTDs and UBIFS, and its a shame though17:19
fnordianslipI'm17:19
DocScrutinizer51blubbi: if you have files with really high demand for fast readout, and those files should have a path that places them on /usr or /opt etc. Then you might create a /speedstore dir on NAND and symlink back from /opt/foo to /speedstore17:20
fnordianslipi guess the problem is maintaining consistency when reflashing17:20
DocScrutinizer51fnordianslip: yep. that's an issue I guess17:21
blubbiDocScrutinizer51: good point17:24
* fnordianslip was thinking about the readonly-root mechanism in fedora, which provides a writeable overlay in a seperate partition, which gets populated by shadowing (only once) from the readonly rootfs, and uses bind mounts.17:25
*** blubbi is now known as blub17:26
fnordianslipbut there's still the big issue of updating the writeable overlay when you reflash the rootfs17:26
DocScrutinizer51fnordianslip: I pondered along that line as well last few days17:26
fnordianslipthe fedora readonly-root stuff works nicely for me on a virtex4 fpga17:27

jebbaWTF is "app grid" ?18:14
jebbayou have both a 48x48 and 64x64?18:14
fnordianslipi dunno what else you call it, the thing under "More..."18:14
fnordianslipthere's a base-64 encoded 48  in the control file for the package, and a 64 referenced in the desktop file18:15
fnordianslipwhen you install conky you'll see what i mean18:16
