| - | Hello all,
| |
| | | | |
| - | As part of the plan to fix the PR1.2 SDK dependency issues in the
| |
| - | autobuilder [1], we plan to upgrade the Debian devkit in the Fremantle
| |
| - | autobuilder to the Squeeze version (from the current etch one), and start
| |
| - | using "improved shlibdeps" [2] (a.k.a. .symbols files) to version
| |
| - | dependencies on a much more granular basis (minimal required version of
| |
| - | libraries will be calculated per symbol instead of per library). We plan to
| |
| - | ship .symbols files for most of the SDK libraries.
| |
| - |
| |
| - | This means that packages built in the PR1.2 SDK using no PR1.2-introduced
| |
| - | functions will work on a PR1.1 device and even on a 1.0 device.
| |
| - |
| |
| - | Unfortunately, this approach doesn't include Qt packages as there are more
| |
| - | problems to that but, we hope the Qt API to be more stable in future
| |
| - | releases.
| |
| - |
| |
| - | Of course, upgrading to Squeeze _will_ cause compatibility problems to some
| |
| - | packages. We have been rebuilding many of them in a test environment [3, 4]
| |
| - | and analyzed the common issues -- in fact, we have talked to a few
| |
| - | maintainers about those. If your package doesn't build when we move the
| |
| - | autobuilder to Squeeze and you don't know how to fix it, don't hesitate to
| |
| - | ask. We find that most of the compatibility problems are caused by stricter
| |
| - | checks, and that is always a Good Thing (TM).
| |
| - |
| |
| - | If you want to swap your local SDK to squeeze, you have to
| |
| - | 1) Replace debian-etch devkit with debian-squeeze
| |
| - | 2) apt-get install maemo-sdk-symbols cdbs man-db quilt dpatch
