| - | Most Mer development talk goes on in #maemo on irc.freenode.net. If you do not have an IRC client, use www.mibbit.com. We currently use https://launchpad.net/m-r for collaboration, but will move to maemo.org eventually. Our current status is that we have a N8x0 image with nm-applet, advanced backlight, load-applet on top of a hildon-desktop using Fremantle components, on top of Xorg and Ubuntu Jaunty. Previous progress can be viewed at http://jaiku.com/channel/reconstructedPOC

| - | We have fringe projects in 770, Zaurus, x86, Wii ports, and as such, code will be built first on x86 to ensure cross-platform, and then in our cross-compilers.

| - | == Mer Installer ==
| |
| - |
| |
| - | Make installer for Maemo/Diablo that does the following:
| |
| - |
| |
| - | * Depends on bootmenu (bootmenu with bootmenu.d item)
| |
| - | * Allows simple installation (partition my internal/external MMC to 50mb FAT, 128mb swap, rest linux), or advanced (choose my own partition)
| |
| - | * Partitions, mkfs.ext3's and unpacks a downloaded tar.gz (built by the imager, uploaded to some http.). Should support resume of dls (wget -c?)
| |
| - | * Sets up the bootmenu item for Mer.

| - | == qemu-eabi cputransp for Scratchbox ==
| |
| - |
| |
| - | See http://maemogeek.blogspot.com/2007/11/installing-qemu-arm-eabi-patch-into.html
| |
| - |
| |
| - | Make a debian package with this binary (for i386), installing into /scratchbox/devkits/cputransp/bin/qemu-arm-eabi-sb2
| |
| - | and adding 'qemu-arm-eabi-sb2' to /scratchbox/devkits/cputransp/etc/cputransp-methods when installing, and removing when
| |
| - | removing (sed -i?)
| |
| - |
| |
| - | Edit [[#SDK||SDK]] to make instructions use qemu-arm-eabi-sb2 instead, and getting your .deb package.
| |
| - |
| |
| - | == Getting your package included in the Repository ==
| |
| - |
| |
| - | * Make sure it compiles after getting your build dependancies, dpkg-buildpackage.
| |
| - | * Ideally test both dpkg-buildpackage -S -us -uc, dpkg-buildpackage -b -us -uc, dpkg-buildpackage -B (some packages may not build any arch-dep packages, so that's ok. Microdocument it on Jaiku.)
| |
| - | * bzr export <source package name> lp:~yourusername/m-r/<source package name> (gives you a checked out version, without metadata)
| |
| - | * cd <source package name>
| |
| - | * dpkg-buildpackage -S -us -uc, to generate a source package
| |
| - | * Upload the resulting source package (*.changes, *.tar.gz, possibly *.diff.gz) to your ~/incoming on the repo server.
| |
| - | * ssh yourlogin@reposerver /import-new-packages
| |
| - |
| |
| - | (This will add the source package to repository)
| |
| - |
| |
| - | * You need access to merbuilder & repository upload for the following, ask Stskeeps on Jaiku/IRC for this. Or refer on Jaiku to the source package and some may pick it up
| |
| - | * On http://jaiku.com/channel/merbuilder , write "build <SOURCE PACKAGE NAME>=<package version>"
| |
| - | * Monitor progress at http://merbuilder.jaiku.com
| |
| - | * An LP player notes that it has picked up a package for building at a certain builder
| |
| - | * A toast means it baked properly on this architecture. And is uploaded to repository.
| |
| - | * A heart means it built properly on all architectures. And is uploaded to the repository
| |
| - | * A bomb means it failed to build on an architecture.
| |
| - | * A shopping wagon means it has noticed your build request and queued it.
