| Hello all,
| |
|
| |
|
| As part of the plan to fix the PR1.2 SDK dependency issues in the
| |
| autobuilder [1], we plan to upgrade the Debian devkit in the Fremantle
| |
| autobuilder to the Squeeze version [2] (from the current etch one), and start
| |
| using "improved shlibdeps" [3] (a.k.a. .symbols files) to version
| |
| dependencies on a much more granular basis (minimal required version of
| |
| libraries will be calculated per symbol instead of per library). We plan to
| |
| ship .symbols files for most of the SDK libraries [4].
| |
|
| |
| This means that packages built in the PR1.2 SDK using no PR1.2-introduced
| |
| functions will work on a PR1.1 device and even on a 1.0 device.
| |
|
| |
| Unfortunately, this approach doesn't include Qt packages as there are more
| |
| problems to that, but we hope the Qt API to be more stable in future
| |
| releases.
| |
|
| |
| Of course, upgrading to Squeeze _will_ cause compatibility problems to some
| |
| packages. We have been rebuilding many of them in a test environment [5, 6]
| |
| and analyzed the common issues -- in fact, we have talked to a few
| |
| maintainers about those. If your package doesn't build when we move the
| |
| autobuilder to Squeeze and you don't know how to fix it, don't hesitate to
| |
| ask. We find that most of the compatibility problems are caused by stricter
| |
| checks, and that is always a Good Thing (TM).
| |
|
| |
| If you want to swap your local SDK to squeeze, you have to
| |
| 1) Install the squeeze devkit from [2]
| |
| 1) Replace debian-etch devkit with debian-squeeze
| |
| 2) apt-get install maemo-sdk-symbols cdbs man-db quilt dpatch
