"Chromium" removed from maemo.org repositories

This is a joint statement from Nokia and the Maemo Community Council. A few weeks ago we received a letter requesting that maemo.org cease distribution of Chromium, due to ongoing litigation involving the software. The Community Council, the package maintainer of Chromium on maemo.org and Nokia legal were contacted. As you are aware, it i... [More]

Notice to developers: the old libqt4-maemo5-prefixed packages have officially been deprecated

0
0

We'd like to inform all Maemo developers that with the public release of PR1.2 for Maemo 5, the libqt4-maemo5-* packages have been officially deprecated in the extras-devel repository, and will be completely removed by June 30th at the latest. If you still have packages that depend on these Qt packages, please alter them or resubmit to extras-devel with either libqt4-* dependencies (for Qt4.6), or libqt4-experimental-* dependencies (for Qt4.7). The libqt4-maemo5 package that is part of PR1.2 is NOT affected. Thank you for your understanding.

"Super" testers required to clear up Extras backlog

0
0

Many developers feel they are suffering from the quality assurance process being used on maemo.org to ensure that high quality applications get into the Extras repository (which is enabled by default on all Maemo 5 devices). Currently, a package must wait 10 days and get 10 votes before being promotable. This isn't too onerous for popular... [More]

Qt packaging changes in maemo.org extras-devel

0
0

One of the big changes PR1.2 brought us is official Qt support in the form of Q4.6 in the Nokia SDK and repositories. This change affects all applications depending on Qt currently in extras-devel. We had some talks with Qt/Nokia folks about Qt-related repository changes in Maemo 5 (triggered by aforementioned PR1.2 and potentially again later on by updates to Qt or related components).

  Here is the short summary:   1. remove qt4-maemo5 (4.6) after PR1.2 2. upload Qt 4.7 snapshots as qt4-experimental to extras-devel afterwards 3. as soon as 4.6 QtMobility is released, get those packages to the nokia-apps repository 4. remove 4.6 QtMobility from extras-devel 5. maybe upload new QtMobility packages to extras-devel, but...
