My building computer was been shut down since May. Now I have new 3TB hard disk and will continue this. I have plenty of easy packages left, but then there are hard ones (as Xorg).
----
Testing packages from squeezy/wheezy. (Don't just update&&upgrade, it really can't work.)

I'm not yet sure what is safe starting point. This was mine
libstdc++6 = 4.7.2-0+cssu0
libc6 = 2.15.90-maemo1
2.6.28.10-power52

(squeeze repo has libc6_2.10.90, stdc++ from http://maemo.merlin1991.at/cssu/deve...rmel/packages/)

Beware, these are very dangerous things, and the whole point is to get phone bricked (and examine when it bricks).
(This is mainly for showing techniques for hacking your package-database)

a) first wget+dpkg : multiarch-support
add two rows
Code:
 /lib/arm-linux-gnueabi/
 /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabi/
to the file /etc/ld.so.conf
and run ldconfig

b) wget+dpkg: liblzma5
c) wget+dpkg: libselinux1 (squeezy)
d) tar. this is more complex (FIXME)
Code:
wget http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/u/rantalai/maemo5/wheezy/repo/tar_1.26+dfsg-0.1_armel.deb
ar x tar_1.26+dfsg-0.1_armel.deb
tar xf data.tar.gz -C /
modify file: /var/lib/dpkg/status
find "Package: busybox" remove it conflicts tar

create new entry
Code:
Package: tar
Status: install ok installed
Priority: required
Section: utils
Installed-Size: 56
Architecture: all
Source: tar
Version: 1.26
Description: tar
e) wget+dpkg: dpkg

Now enable both repositories
Two rows
Code:
deb http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/u/rantalai/maemo5/wheezy/repo/ ./
deb http://cc.oulu.fi/~rantalai/maemo5/squeeze/repo/ ./
to the file: /etc/apt/sources.list

Then you can use apt-get install, and try what can be installed/upgraded. And remember they are not optified! Try to install one package at a time. This is one list of packages (seems they are not bricking):
f)
debian-archive-keyring
libtasn1-3
libgnutls26 (comes from squeezy)
libidn11 (comes from squeezy)
libdb4.8 (comes from squeezy)
libsasl2-2 (comes from squeezy)
libldap-2.4-2 (comes from squeezy)

g) libkrb5-3 This is also complicated (FIXME)
modify file: /var/lib/dpkg/status
find "Package: libcurl3" remove it versioned depends for libkrb53

Code:
wget http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/u/rantalai/maemo5/wheezy/repo/libkrb5support0_1.10.1+dfsg-5_armel.deb
ar libkrb5support0_1.10.1+dfsg-5_armel.deb
tar xf control.tar.gz
modify control, drop 'conflicts libkrb53'
tar czf control.tar.gz control md5sums   postinst        postrm          shlibs          symbols
ar -r libkrb5support0_1.10.1_maemo.deb debian-binary control.tar.gz data.tar.gz
dpkg -i libkrb5support0_1.10.1_maemo.deb
Do same for libk5crypto3

For libkrb5-3, add rows to control:
Provides: libkrb53
Replaces: libkrb53

And then finally install libkrb5-3.deb

h)
libgssapi-krb5-2 (comes from squeezy)
libcurl3-gnutls
zlib1g
libmagic1 (squeezy)
file (squeezy)

i)
Remove hildon-application-manager (FIXME, how about just compiling against new apt?)
install apt and apt-transport-https (they depends each other)
(apt.postinst warning about run-parts --regex, because of busybox, but not critical. FIXME)

Can you prepare a rootstrap so that the people can help with building some stuff?

I don't know how to properly do it. I can give some instructions:
A) install gcc-4.7 toolchain (http://wiki.maemo.org/CSSU-thumb_too....7.2-linaro%29 )
B) enable my wheezy repo (maybe squeeze also, until I got all of them also for wheezy)
C) if old binaries from sb is preventing to use new arm-binaries, hack them outside of scratchbox. e.g sudo mv /scratchbox/tools/bin/scons /scratchbox/tools/bin/scons_orig
sudo mv /scratchbox/devkits/git/bin/git /scratchbox/devkits/git/bin/git_orig

Now squeezy is left behind and only packages on wheezy is used on device.

After these steps You can run HAM (hildon-application-manager) recompiled against wheezy's packages.



Start with just flashed phone (RX-51_2009SE_20.2010.36-2_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin)
*Install openssh-server via HAM

And then work over ssh

Code:
apt-get install wget rootsh
#upgrade to the PR1.3.1
apt-get install mp-fremantle-generic-pr
#upgrade these from extras (and uninstall mp-fremantle-generic-pr)
apt-get install libcurl3 libgcc1 libsdl-mixer1.2 libstdc++6 dtg-installer


#Add repositories
#wheezy/repo is for recompiled packages from debian-wheey
#wheezy/waemo is maemo packages compiled against wheezy.

echo "\
deb http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/u/rantalai/maemo5/wheezy/repo/ ./  
deb http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/u/rantalai/maemo5/wheezy/waemo/ ./ \
" > /etc/apt/sources.list
apt-get update



apt-get install libc6         #important to install earlier than busybox

apt-get install multiarch-support  #this is needed for wheezy packages
#run also manually this:
echo "/lib/arm-linux-gnueabi/
/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabi/ \
" >> /etc/ld.so.conf



#We need true tar. 
# Change busybox to the version without tar and install tar.
#Hack: Installing tar with apt/dpkg needs tar in path
wget http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/u/rantalai/maemo5/wheezy/tar
chmod a+x tar
cp tar /usr/bin/
apt-get install busybox-symlinks-busybox busybox tar
rm /usr/bin/tar


#new dpkg
apt-get install liblzma5
apt-get install libselinux1
apt-get install dpkg



apt-get install libffi5
apt-get install libglib2.0-0  #important to install earlier than glib-networking
apt-get install glib-networking-common
apt-get install libtasn1-3
apt-get install libxml2 zlib1g
apt-get install libgpg-error0
apt-get install libgcrypt11
apt-get install libp11-kit0
apt-get install libidn11
apt-get install libexpat1
apt-get install libdb5.1
apt-get install libsasl2-2
apt-get install glib-networking glib-networking-services libgnutls26 libsoup2.4-1 
apt-get install librtmp0
apt-get install libssh2-1
apt-get install libkeyutils1
apt-get install libldap-2.4-2
apt-get install ttf-dejavu-core
apt-get install ucf  #comes from maemo (version on wheezy needs too much)
apt-get install libssl1.0.0



#fontconfig needs hacking
#old fontconfig is splitted on two new packages: fontconfig-config and fontconfig 
#some files on new fontconfig-config are same than old fontconfig
# most simple way is just install them two times, where only first time gives error
# (another way could be dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/fontconfig-config_2.9.0-7.1_all.deb )
apt-get install libfontconfig1 fontconfig-config fontconfig 
apt-get install libfontconfig1 fontconfig-config fontconfig 


apt-get install libkrb5-3 libcurl3 libgssapi-krb5-2 libk5crypto3 libkrb5support0
apt-get install libcurl3-gnutls


apt-get install libstdc++6  #important to be earlier than apt


#apt needs hacking
#somewhere when installing apt it calls mktep with some weird parameters
#and because it is from busybox, it cause error

#download mktemp (from coreutils-gnu) and put it in PATH
wget http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/u/rantalai/maemo5/wheezy/mktemp
chmod a+x mktemp
cp mktemp /usr/bin/ 
#They must be in one bunch
apt-get install apt apt-transport-https libapt-pkg4.12 hildon-application-manager debian-archive-keyring
#FIXME: apt gives warning "run-parts: unrecognized option '--regex'"
rm /usr/bin/mktemp
Optionally to reboot to test that phone is not bricked.

HAM can be started from commandline (from menu it has problems) and it seems to work (it can refresh lists and install packages)
Code:
hildon-application-manager.launch
---
I have also installed these new packages without bricking (no other side effects yet tested).
base-files
libexif12
libfontenc1
libfreetype6
libgcc1
libgdbm3
wget
libltdl7
liboil0.3
libiw30

Holly cow! Aapo, this is amazing! I will give it a shot on my spare N900 as soon as I find a spare evening. (That might take a while though )

All my previous attempts resulted in a bricked phone as soon as I installed libc6. Presumably because I had busybox on already.

Is it all needed in scratchbox?

And about scratchbox tools, a workaround for Harmattan and Fremantle SDK was adding that to environment:

Code:
unset SBOX_REDIRECT_FROM_DIRS
export PATH="/bin:$PATH"
And about rootstraps: http://www.scratchbox.org/documentat...html#rootstrap

I'm compiling without thumb. I'm using gcc-4.7 which could do thumb.

You should not install busybox on scratchbox. You don't need it on sdk, as there are full coreutils.

Thanks. Can I just apt-get upgrade on scratchbox?
/edit: I tried, but after a couple of forces, and upgrading dpkg, I'm still getting things like that:

Code:
dpkg: regarding .../base-files_7.1_armel.deb containing base-files:
 package uses Breaks; not supported in this dpkg
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/base-files_7.1_armel.deb (--unpack):
 unsupported dependency problem - not installing base-files
Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/base-files_7.1_armel.deb
E: Sub-process /scratchbox/devkits/debian-etch/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
/edit2
1. Make sure if the ld.so step from the on device done.
Code:
echo "/lib/arm-linux-gnueabi/
/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabi/ \
" >> /etc/ld.so.conf
2.
Code:
 cd /usr/lib/libfakeroot/
ln -s libfakeroot-tcp.so libfakeroot-tcp.so.0
3.
Code:
unset SBOX_REDIRECT_FROM_DIRS
export PATH="/bin:/usr/bin/:$PATH"
to environment
4. edit /etc/resolv.conf
My further steps (in case someone needs it)
Code:
fakeroot apt-get install libc6
fakeroot apt-get install dpkg
fakeroot apt-get upgrade
fakeroot apt-get dist-upgrade
