Original post:

I was thinking a bit about the community SSU to Diablo and how to go about it. Obviously we have some community-relevant fixes to the application manager and some other things that can be useful.

But what I'm wondering about - if you had a chance to select one favourite Fixed in Fremantle bug fixed in the open source packages and have this backported to be fixed in a community SSU, which would you take - and why?

EDIT: Please note the bugs.maemo.org bug numbers in question too. :)

Re: 'Fixed in Fremantle' and Diablo community SSU
 

And the list of 'Fixed in Freemantle' bugs is...where?

Re: 'Fixed in Fremantle' and Diablo community SSU
 

The size of the list is going to depend upon what exactly you want to lump in under the "Fixed in Fremantle" header, but I have the results of a quick search.

(By the way, Zerojay, it's "Fremantle", not "Freemantle". It's a small thing, but the extra "e" you include doesn't jive with your focus on text perfection.)

Re: 'Fixed in Fremantle' and Diablo community SSU
 

https://bugs.maemo.org/buglist.cgi?t...solution=FIXED is also a possibility.

Re: 'Fixed in Fremantle' and Diablo community SSU
 

sadly, its not so much a fix as a total rewrite. basically, what irks me the most is that until diablo, one could trigger a network access while in offline mode, say yes on the dialog, and have wifi connect to a saved hotspot automatically...

since diablo, it instead claims that it cant find any saved hotspots, and i have the impression the nokia devs know where the bug is, but as the networking system have been fully replaced for fremantle, there will never be a fix...

Re: 'Fixed in Fremantle' and Diablo community SSU
 

A2DP please!

Re: 'Fixed in Fremantle' and Diablo community SSU
 

AFAIK we're still on icd and libconic. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Re: 'Fixed in Fremantle' and Diablo community SSU
 

Does upgrading the Flash player count? If so, I think that would get my vote. There are MicroB bugs that bother me, but then I just use Tear instead.

EDIT:
Oops -- it probably doesn't count. Apologies.

Re: 'Fixed in Fremantle' and Diablo community SSU
 

Even though it's not open, the fix which unbreaks metalayer-crawled since the last SSU would be a good thing to add, especially if we can add an option to start/stop the thing at will.

Otherwise just all the simple stuff which is easy to fix. I would sooner see the efforts put into bringing Mer up to the level where it can replace Maemo, and run all the new versions of apps like Gpodder, and Mauku.

Spending a lot of time fixing diablo, doesn't change the fact that it's now a dead end, and that the majority of new development is understandably going to be for Fremantle.

Being able to provide access to all or most of those apps on the current hardware would seem to me to be the best use of the resources available.

Re: 'Fixed in Fremantle' and Diablo community SSU
 

+AVRCP. A2DP can be made to work--with limits--but AVRCP doesn't work at all.

Lock applets in desktop:

Re: 'Fixed in Fremantle' and Diablo community SSU
 

clock with 12/24h selection!!

Re: 'Fixed in Fremantle' and Diablo community SSU
 

more contacts number!! yuppie!
https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1034

Re: 'Fixed in Fremantle' and Diablo community SSU
 

#2639 is already included in Mer.

#303 primarily affects Nokia's closed-source Clock application (if it was open source, I'd've fixed it 4 years ago!)

#1034 is - I think - in the closed source UI again.

Re: 'Fixed in Fremantle' and Diablo community SSU
 

I always wondered why the camera app didn't come pre-installed.

Re: 'Fixed in Fremantle' and Diablo community SSU
 

/usr/bin/camera
There's just no entry in the application menu out of the box.

Re: 'Fixed in Fremantle' and Diablo community SSU
 

Low hanging fruit (stuff that could be packaged right now):

2639 Home view needs to have an option to lock desktop applets into place
3455 telepathy-gabble deadlooping
3951 Incompatible quote handling in Busybox xargs (FEATURE_XARGS_SUPPORT_QUOTES disabled?)
3957 Busybox does not support "ls -Q" which some scripts need
3968 grep -r can output corrupt data in error message if file cannot be read
4079 busybox df does not handle root filesystem on command line
4119 digest-uri omits the serv-name part causing authentication failure when host != serv-name
4174 shell history file is overwritten after every command
4225 The x11vnc does not work on some areas of the screen
4803 Modest sends empty ENABLE command when IMAP server advertises ENABLE but not CONDSTORE or QRESYNC capabilities

Some stuff that needs more investigation:

2863 Allow setting of MTU per access point
3793 Segmentation fault when ossofilemanager access SMB shares
3885 RSS Reader Fails to Read HTTPS RSS Webpages
4248 Enable features in Busybox to increase its tools GNU/Debian compatibility

Re: 'Fixed in Fremantle' and Diablo community SSU
 

The most annoying bug for me is the no-flip camera bug on the N800

Re: 'Fixed in Fremantle' and Diablo community SSU
 

I think there was a bug for that but I can't find it now - IIRC that happens if you restore the access points from a pre-diablo backup.

Re: 'Fixed in Fremantle' and Diablo community SSU
 

clearing house and rebuilding did not make it go away...

Re: 'Fixed in Fremantle' and Diablo community SSU
 

https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3310

this looks like the bug, tho i could have sworn it was claimed fixed in fremantle because it had a reworked networking system...

Re: 'Fixed in Fremantle' and Diablo community SSU
 

That annoying charging screen that doesn't let me use the device while charging. Of course that doesn't happen in Mer.

Re: 'Fixed in Fremantle' and Diablo community SSU
 

press power and it should boot to the desktop...

Re: 'Fixed in Fremantle' and Diablo community SSU
 

Alright, I just tested it and it worked, so this problem only happens with powerlunch then. When I had that installed, pressing the power button while charging would only brought up the powerlunch menu.

Re: 'Fixed in Fremantle' and Diablo community SSU
 

Oh God.. this thread is making me VERY, VERY drunk with EVERY mention of 'fixed in Fremantle'

...aw crap, now I did it. (drink!)

Re: 'Fixed in Fremantle' and Diablo community SSU
 

may i ask what your using powerlaunch for? And yes, i recall that powerlaunch has such a issue, as i have ranted about it myself at one time...

Re: 'Fixed in Fremantle' and Diablo community SSU
 

cheers, campai, and all those other words for the same action ;)

Re: 'Fixed in Fremantle' and Diablo community SSU
 

A2DP with AVRCP for me would be a great addition, but it does require a kernel patch to fix stability issues. This patch, along with a few FiF patches from bugzilla are in Mer currently.

When it comes to bugs... locking the applets in place would be nice.

It would also be great if the microb browser got an update. It's running alpha code.

Re: 'Fixed in Fremantle' and Diablo community SSU
 

Step by step (even for a linux n00b like me)

Seems to work as advertised :D

Re: 'Fixed in Fremantle' and Diablo community SSU
 

only that it has to be set again on each reboot...

Re: 'Fixed in Fremantle' and Diablo community SSU
 

Hi, if you use the latest files from Qwerty (see here: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...postcount=1046) the setting is persistent.

HIH and sorry for the change of subject.

Re: 'Fixed in Fremantle' and Diablo community SSU
 

these where not linked in the "howto"-thread then?

Re: 'Fixed in Fremantle' and Diablo community SSU
 

I think not. qwerty is too quick for a thread. ;)
If I remember correctly even the option was a little different. You could check from the screenshots.

Again, sorry to the OP.

Re: 'Fixed in Fremantle' and Diablo community SSU
 

so, now that the N900 cat is out of the bag, it would be nice to get a official go ahead from nokia to let the community do SSUs for diablo...

Re: 'Fixed in Fremantle' and Diablo community SSU
 

That probably won't ever be happening. Nokia would be scared to death at the thought of something the community does in an SSU killing or forcing a tablet reflash.

Re: 'Fixed in Fremantle' and Diablo community SSU
 

There is big difference between community/3rd party/unofficial support and official support by manufacturer. They shouldn't be mixed.

Re: 'Fixed in Fremantle' and Diablo community SSU
 

Diablo going forward with community support vs Fremantle backported to the N8*0 via Mer. Has thre beeen discussion and conclusion about which is the way preferred by the community?

Re: 'Fixed in Fremantle' and Diablo community SSU
 

Why do you imply they are mutually exclusive? And let's not forget Mer has other goals besides backporting Fremantle to N8x0.

Re: 'Fixed in Fremantle' and Diablo community SSU
 

Call me greedy, but it would be nice to have a choice of both. Diablo+community SSUs for those who aren't ready to make the jump to a new UI/platform and 'just' want a fixed Diablo, and Fremantle via Mer for those who want the shiny and like living dangerously.
