Diablo Community Project

The goal of the Diablo Community Project is to extend the life of software inside Diablo (Maemo 4) and keep it fully functional.

Current Goals

  • Extend the usable life of Diablo and associated GUI
  • Extend the usable life of the N8x0 internet tablets
  • Focus, harness and support community contributions to Diablo
  • Facilitate updates of the software on N8x0 internet tablets (e.g. SSU)
  Proposal:  1) Promote the development of "opt-in" packages as a "community-updates" component for Diablo.
             2) Add "community-updates" component to Extras.
             3) Build new hildon-application-manager and osso-software-version-rx* packages.
             4) Install opt-in packages as "community-updates" and test.
