merlin1991Thats the thing there are a few gpl bits in the nokia repo that was shut down not ao long ago00:06
jurovand why nobody added them to maemo repo?00:12

ilonmerlin1991: I understand that this could be a bit of a headache.08:11
ilonmerlin1991: I just got the impression that it should "just work" to follow the n900 reflash guide + community ssu guide08:12
ilonmerlin1991: Is there a way I could help with this for the packages i encounter that are missing?08:21
ilonFor example, libwildmidi is provided under he LGPL 3: http://www.mindwerks.net/projects/wildmidi/08:23
ilonHmm, seems like the 0.2.2-2 are actually provided under the GPL 208:32
ilonAnd only on v 0.2.3 they switched to LGPL 308:34
*** _rd has joined #maemo-ssu08:40
ilonjurov / merlin1991: I updated the Installation FAQ for now: https://wiki.maemo.org/Community_SSU/Installation_FAQ but would really like to help getting this in to the repository, since my belief is that you should not have to use the terminal during the install process (for a fresh install)08:56

ilonmerlin1991: Is there anything I can do to help with this matter?20:31
*** Pali has joined #maemo-ssu20:32
ilonmerlin1991: libwildmidi0 is the only missing piece for this to work, which are not already included in the repository20:32
bencohilon: are you talking about stock->cssu ?20:41
*** _LauRoman has quit IRC20:49
jurovbencoh, yes stock->cssu21:16
Sicelowhat are you doing ilon that needs libwildmidi0?21:20
Siceloin any case, libwildmidi0 *does* exist in repos (at least according to apt-cache).21:21
*** pigeons_ is now known as pigeons21:29
ilonSicelo: doing fresh flash / install of n900, following the guide to install cssu21:40
ilonSicelo: Yes, it does exist in the repositories, not in the ones mentioned in the wiki tho21:44
ilonIt did exist in the nokia repo21:45
Siceloand there are mirrors of those ...21:45
ilonsure is21:45
ilonbut it still makes it impossible to follow the guide and get a working cssu install21:45
ilonshould this be the case?21:45
Sicelo:)21:46
ilonI don't really get this, is it not in the interest of the community to have a working howto on how to install cssu?21:46
ilonbecause since I started to raise this, the response I've got are kind of defensive21:47
jurovi ran into exactly same problem21:49
ilonSicelo: and to answer your original question, what I try to do is: Installing cssu on a newly reflashed N900. And its gstreamer depends on it.21:49
jurovindependently21:50
ilonSicelo: this is a very real problem for anyone trying to do a fresh install of cssu as of today.21:50
bencohilon: it is .... just a manpower issue :)21:50
ilonSicelo: I could do it a second time around to verify, but I really doubt it would give another result21:51
Sicelomaybe "we" were misunderstanding you. i would say most understood your statements to say 'libwildmidi0 doesn't exist (anywhere), or missing' when actually the problem was not repos (which is "expected" to raise problem with not only libwildmidi0 but other packages)21:51
bencohmerlin1991: I guess we should build it from source ?21:51
bencoh(libwildmidi)21:51
Sicelos/not repos/repos/21:51
infobotSicelo meant: maybe "we" were misunderstanding you. i would say most understood your statements to say 'libwildmidi0 doesn't exist (anywhere), or missing' when actually the problem was repos (which is "expected" to raise problem with not only libwildmidi0 but other pac...21:51
ilonbencoh: Well, thats why I ask how i could help out best21:51
ilon19:33:55 < ilon> merlin1991: Is there anything I can do to help with this matter?21:51
bencohoh, right :-)21:52
ilon:P21:52
ilonand, its already built once21:52
ilonand it does exist in the SDK repo21:52
bencohsame version ?21:52
ilonyes21:52
bencohindeed21:52
ilonand that exact version is listed as a depencendy for gstreamer21:52
bencohwe just need to rebuild from source and push it to some repo then21:53
ilonthis might be silly but, does it need to be rebuilt?21:53
bencohnot sure, that's why I asked merlin21:53
ilonhttp://maemo.org/packages/package_instance/view/fremantle_sdk_free_armel/libwildmidi0/0.2.2-2maemo1/21:53
ilonjust installing that one manually works like a charm21:53
ilonand its the same version and target that are listed as dep on libgstreamer21:54
ilonerr, -lib21:54
bencohbut we might as well start "clean" anyway for an "opensource" drop-in replacement :)21:54
ilonit is open source.21:54
bencohyeah I mean, if we are to have a repos with all the opensource bits that were in the nokia repos21:55
bencohfmg/merlin were talking about that at some point (but again, manpower, time, ...)21:55
ilonyes21:55
ilon"Is there a way I could help with this for the packages i encounter that are missing?"21:55
ilonme yesterday21:55
ilonI dont have much time21:55
Sicelothere shouldn't be any if you add the new repo?21:56
ilonbut I do get really annoyed by this kind of issues :P21:56
ilonSicelo: which repo?21:56
Sicelo"nokia" repos... the mirrors?21:56
bencohyou have a point though ... comparing sdk/free and nokia's repositories is probably a quick&efficient way of doing it21:56
bencohat least for most packages21:56
Sicelomuarf for example?21:56
ilonSicelo: no, that would work, but they live on lended time21:56
ilonsince as soon as nokia / microsoft are starting to send out letters to the owners on those, they would likely go down21:57
bencohI hope I'll be able to keep it alive (at least as long as I have my n900 ... and I hope it wont die on me anytime soon :-)21:57
Sicelo:)21:57
bencoh(the mirror)21:57
ilonbencoh: well, I have good faith in everyone involved, but money usually talks21:58
Siceloat that time, not only libwildmidi0 will matter, but a lot of the really closed source stuff.21:58
Sicelo:)21:58
ilonand when big corp start to sending out threats people usually don't dare to take the fight21:58
bencohSicelo: actually there are two aspects here21:58
ilonSicelo: exactly21:58
bencohkeeping a copy of the original repo "because there is always some special case when you need it"21:59
bencohand "being able to upgrade from stock"21:59
bencoh(remove the doublequotes in the second line)21:59
iloneither way, my suggestion would be: do as discussed, start a new repo with the intent to push all those packages that were in the original nokia repo if the license of each package allows it21:59
bencoh+1 :)21:59
ilonyeah, and my suggestion would be the third22:00
ilonbut fixing the repos / guides to be able to install from stock would be first priority imho22:00
ilonI would volunteer to actually take a list of all libs and go through them one by one, find source and license22:01
bencoh<322:01
ilonI can't promise to build them, but I can atleast dig up source and license for the "easy ones"22:01
ilonthat would probably mean the majority of them22:01
ilonbencoh: you said you had a mirror of the original repo? Would you have the time to actually do a diff against community repo?22:02
jurovit was also mentioned that cssu doesn't really beed gstreamer-plugins-bad dependency22:02
jurovso quickest fix would be to remove it, perhaps22:03
ilonjurov: then remove it, or add the libwildmidi0 to the repo22:03
ilonbut having broken dependencies is bad, really bad22:03
bencohilon: to do what ?22:03
ilonit prevents everyone not tech (linux/debian) savvy to install cssu22:03
bencoha diff against what ?22:03
ilonbencoh: against the packages provided in the community repos22:04
ilonthen put it up somewhere22:04
ilonshould be rather trivial thing to do I think22:05
bencohwith some awk-fu, maybe ... I cant use that kind of black magic though ;)22:06
ilonbencoh: well, errr.22:06
bencohthe Packages file format is pretty awful for parsing iirc22:06
ilonlemme think a second.22:06
ilonbencoh: could you link me the repo please? private if needed22:07
bencohhttp://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=146783922:07
ilonthanks22:08
bencohwe could grep ^Package: |sort and compare, as a first step22:10
ilonneed version as well22:14
ilonI'll fix it :)22:14
