Eating the Sardine

On a more positive tone, we’re trying to get a apt-get update’able bleeding edge Maemo build out for developers, to get new development faster out for the application writers and other interested geeks. It’s called Sardine, and it’s hot! :-)

Check it out!
Check out the wiki also!

See my shiny, grouping application switcher toolbar! :-)

Oh! One thing: Since you will be upgrading a lot of stuff at the first update, it is definitely better to install sshd first from the “maemo repository” and log into the device from your desktop computer. Since it’s likely that maemo-launcher gets updated and thus restarted, your xterm might die, and your upgrade would otherwise not get finished.

(And if you install sshd make sure you change your root password for pretty obvious reasons… :))

    Sweet. BTW, am dragging my 770 and not my laptop around NYC- so far, so good. Lots of open wireless around :)

    Glad to hear it has turned useful. :)

    Umm… I don’t know what exactly just happened, but apt-get upgrade replaced my maemo-launcher on mistral (I don’t have sardine repos installed!) - and now the device keeps crashing once a minute. It doesn’t even stay up long enough for me to try to find out what’s wrong :/

    Osma: you forgot the –set-rd-flags=no-lifeguard-reset with flasher. You probably can still do that.

    l didn’t, because it happened on a brand new, factory-install-2006 device. Ended up reflashing it, though.
