Community SSU/Development

Contents

Source

The Community SSU source is held in a project at Gitorious:

 http://gitorious.org/community-ssu

Importing a module...

At the start of adopting a package into the Community SSU, the original source for the package, as shipped in Nokia's PR1.3 needs to be identified. This can come from two places:

  1. Git repository on maemo.gitorious.org or garage.maemo.org (preferred)
  2. Source tarball from repository.nokia.com

Build Sources

We must gather together and list the main giturl sources and tags used to build from.

for instance: http://gitorious.org/modest/modest tag 3.4.8

This allows us to reproduce builds and get source to the same location we build from.

<lcuk> how many packages for n8x0 are you looking at including in an ssu?
<lcuk> and how have you considered looking at updating the system so far - you said its all manual at the moment
<lma> I have 10 (source) packages at the moment
