Known Issues

As of this moment (2010-04-30) the list of open bugs in https://bugs.maemo.org/buglist.cgi?component=madde are not mentioned here:


General

fakeroot is currently missing in distribution images. It is not needed in MADDE environment. However if one wants one, the following wrapper script can be made (in environments fakeroot command does not exist):

#!/bin/sh
exec "$@"

Put this under madbin under what mad query install-dir outputs (with permissions 755). Note: this voids your warranty ;)

Update: 2009-04-27 OSS MADDE available in gitorious (see FAQ) has this command.

Windows

  • On some version of Windows, "Madde terminal" takes ages to start. It seems some programs sleep 30 secs doing nothing. (Update: this does not happen to the reporter anymore (too). Maybe related to the windows 7 (64bit) update happened recently).
  • ar p on windows toolhains does LF -> CRLF conversions, breaking output.
  • Some F-Secure products may identify the file xtar.exe suspicious. In this case, mark the file as trusted, and restart the installation process.
  • Some Avira products may identify the file utfs-server.exe suspicious.
  • MADDE can be only installed on NTFS file system.
