63.231.80.19: fixed broken link

== OBS Project structure and promotion ==

The Mer projects on OBS look like this:
Maemo:Mer:Stable
Maemo:Mer:Stable:HW:Beagle
Maemo:Mer:Stable:HW:N8x0

This means all devices will have the main 'Stable' repository and an appropriate HW repository.

The development area is expanded slightly:
Maemo:Mer:Devel:Apps
Maemo:Mer:Devel:Base
Maemo:Mer:Devel:MaemoCommon
Maemo:Mer:Devel:MaemoCommon:L10n
Maemo:Mer:Devel:UI
Maemo:Mer:Devel:HW:Beagle:Devel
Maemo:Mer:Devel:HW:N8x0:Devel

Details of packages in each area is given in the[[Mer/Packages|Packages]] pages.

Packages in each of these Devel subproject areas can be hacked on and then, when they're kinda working they are consolidated into the :Devel area (which is used as a build target for the :Devel:* subprojects)
Maemo:Mer:Devel
Maemo:Mer:Devel:HW:N8x0
Maemo:Mer:Devel:HW:Beagle

Packages are placed in :Testing with the intention of including
them in the next release subject to QA and bug fixes

Maemo:Mer:Testing
Maemo:Mer:Testing:HW:Beagle
Maemo:Mer:Testing:HW:N8x0

Once :Testing is ready a release of all packages to a numbered version is made:
Maemo:Mer:0.13
Maemo:Mer:0.13:HW:Beagle
Maemo:Mer:0.13:HW:N8x0

Note that the :HW promotion process is slightly different:
Maemo:Mer:Devel:HW:N8x0:Devel -> Maemo:Mer:Devel:HW:N8x0 -> Maemo:Mer:Testing:HW:N8x0 -> Maemo:Mer:Stable:HW:N8x0

=== Promotion Tasks ===

To promote a package:
osc copypac <SOURCEPRJ> <SOURCEPAC> <DESTPRJ>
eg:
osc copypac -k Maemo:Mer:Devel glib2.02 Maemo:Mer:Testing
The <code>-k</code> ensures that the maintainer info is preserved.

Ensure that:
osc meta prjconf <SOURCE>
is copied to the <TARGET> conf. This may contain things like package selection preferences.
Currently the prjconf is:
Prefer: hildon-fm-l10n-mr0
Ignore: hildon-fm-l10n-mr
Prefer: notify-osd
Ignore: initramfs:initramfs-tools,udev,blueman
Ignore: libmbca0:bluez-gnome
Ignore: libgtk2.0-common:libgtk2.0-0
Ignore: libgtk2.0-bin:libgtk2.0-0
# Added following for claws-mail. "have choice for libdb-dev needed by libetpan-dev: libdb4.2-dev libdb-dev"
Prefer: libdb-dev

== To Promote :Devel To :Testing ==

First pipe over the project metadata:
osc meta prjconf Maemo:Mer:Devel | osc meta prjconf Maemo:Mer:Testing -F -

Then run:
for i in $(osc ls Maemo:Mer:Devel); do echo $i; osc copypac Maemo:Mer:Devel $i Maemo:Mer:Testing ; done
for HW in HW:N8x0 HW:SmartQ HW:Freerunner HW:Beagle; do
for i in $(osc ls Maemo:Mer:Devel:$HW); do echo $i; osc copypac -k Maemo:Mer:Devel:$HW $i Maemo:Mer:Testing:$HW ; done
done

== To Promote :Testing to :Stable ==

The process here is to create a versioned repo; eg :0.14

export STABLE=0.14
export OLD=0.13

Create the projects (copied from $OLD):
osc meta prj Maemo:Mer:$OLD | sed "s/$OLD/$STABLE/" |osc meta prj Maemo:Mer:$STABLE -F -
for HW in HW:N8x0 HW:SmartQ HW:Freerunner HW:Beagle; do
osc meta prj Maemo:Mer:$OLD:$HW | sed "s/$OLD/$STABLE/" |osc meta prj Maemo:Mer:$STABLE:$HW -F -
done

Pipe over the project metadata:
osc meta prjconf Maemo:Mer:Testing | osc meta prjconf Maemo:Mer:$STABLE -F -

Then run:
for i in $(osc ls Maemo:Mer:Testing); do echo $i; osc copypac Maemo:Mer:Testing $i Maemo:Mer:$STABLE ; done
for HW in HW:N8x0 HW:SmartQ HW:Freerunner HW:Beagle; do
for i in $(osc ls Maemo:Mer:Testing:$HW); do echo $i; osc copypac -k Maemo:Mer:Testing:$HW $i Maemo:Mer:$STABLE:$HW ; done
done

Then, once it's built and stable, use _aggregate to link each package to :Stable

First clean out :Stable
for i in $(osc ls Maemo:Mer:Stable); do echo $i; osc rdelete Maemo:Mer:Stable $i ; done
for HW in HW:N8x0 HW:SmartQ HW:Freerunner HW:Beagle; do
for i in $(osc ls Maemo:Mer:Stable:$HW); do echo $i; osc rdelete Maemo:Mer:Stable:$HW $i; done
done

*** ALSO wipebinaries next time ***

NOTE The following uses -m in osc which is not accepted upstream yet. It will not work unless you have lbt's osc patches.

for i in $(osc ls Maemo:Mer:$STABLE); do echo $i; osc aggregatepac Maemo:Mer:$STABLE $i Maemo:Mer:Stable; done
for HW in HW:N8x0 HW:SmartQ HW:Freerunner HW:Beagle; do
for i in $(osc ls Maemo:Mer:$STABLE:$HW); do echo $i
osc aggregatepac -m MerStable_Debian_5.0=Mer${STABLE}_Debian_5.0,MerStable_Ubuntu_9.04=Mer${STABLE}_Ubuntu_9.04 Maemo:Mer:${STABLE}:$HW $i Maemo:Mer:Stable:$HW
done
done

Note that :Stable project must be setup to publish and to build

== Linking to :Extras ==
In order to allow people to develop applications/packages for :Extras they need to setup their home area on OBS as in [[Mer/Build/Application_Building|Building Applications]]. Once the package is built it can be linked to Maemo:Mer:Extras:Devel
osc linkpac -f -c home:tomaszd84 leafpad Maemo:Mer:Extras:Devel

<code>-c</code> ensures that the version is pinned so when user tomaszd84 changes his package, it doesn't change in :Extras:Devel unless it is relinked.
<code>-f</code> forces an existing link to be updated.

== Linking ==

To link to a source create a _link file containing:
<link project="linked project name" package="linked package name">

optionally:
<patches>
<apply name="name of the first patch" />
</patches>

Sadly these patches apply to the files in the source; so this means you need to apply the diff to the maemo-ised diff file.

== Bugs in 0.16testing5 ==
* No settings application in menu->Settings item.

* [Nokia 770] desktop fails to appear (machine stuck at high cpu load). Only the sea picture is displayed, after the mer logo has disappeared.

* [Nokia n810] Unable to enter WPA password, dialog box is empty. 0.15 does not have this problem

* [SmartQ7] No obvious way to exit App Manager. In fact, exiting applications in general can be hard to figure out; the top row icons don't convey much meaning --[[User:kyelewis|kyelewis]]

* [SmartQ7] SD card is not auto-mounted, nor is a mechanism provided to mount it. --[[User:kyelewis|kyelewis]]

* [SmartQ7] Widget support dies after first reboot- widgets cannot be moved, and text placement for the provided widget is incorrect. Also occured in 0.16testing3 --[[User:kyelewis|kyelewis]]

* [SmartQ7] Unable to enter WPA password, dialog box is empty. (Carried from 0.16testing3) --[[User:kyelewis|kyelewis]]

* [SmartQ7] Editing Wireless Security Settings in network-manager freezes mer when clicking 'Apply' --[[User:kyelewis|kyelewis]] (Update: only occurs if Wireless is enabled while you try to make change)

* [SmartQ7] Bluetooth Manager is incredibly slow, takes >5 minutes to load, using all CPU time.

== Bugs in 0.16testing3 ==

Insert bugs here.

* [Nokia n810] conflict between libphonon4 and libqt4-phonon packages which is preventing installation of kdepim:
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libphonon4_4%3a4.3.1-0ubuntu3_armel.deb (--unpack):
trying to overwrite `/usr/lib/libphonon.so.4', which is also in package libqt4-phonon

* [Nokia n810] dpad left and dpad down do not have auto key repeat. dpad up and dpad right as well as other keys do.

* [Nokia n810] GtkTreeView row dragging not working. This worked in 0.15.

* [Nokia n810] can't install maemopad due to missing libhildonhelp0

* [Nokia n810] screen calibration menu item does nothing

* [Nokia n810] app manager crashes:
** on first start after pressing "Check for updates" button
** after installing finefm from available applications menu
** everytime it tries to list available applications after that - this seems to be a timing-related problem. If I try to access the Available applications button immediately on startup, it crashes. If I wait 30 seconds, it works.

* [Nokia n810] Fn not working in first-boot-wizard - ''Stskeeps: expected testing4''

* [Nokia n810] onscreen keyboard always pops up during text entry even though built-in hardware keyboard is being used

* [Nokia n810] display rotation did very bad things. ''Stskeeps: Did you install Mer kernel with rotation support?''. No, just clicked rotation icon in brightness app shortly after first-boot-wizard finished.

* [Nokia n810] python "import gtk" generated lots of Xlib: extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":0.0". ''Stskeeps: sadly fairly normal. Only a warning.''

* [Nokia n810] xterm menus messed up. ''Stskeeps: We are waiting with new osso-xterm because the newer one was broken - it is actually not a matter of translations. Has to be past 0.16 :/''

* [Nokia n810 & SmartQ7] Unable to enter WPA password, dialog box is empty. 0.15 does not have this problem. ''Stskeeps: I suspect it's due to the movable dialogs problem. Someone revert the movable dialogs patch and see if it work?'' '' Meizirkki: no, the dialog is still empty after disabling movable dialogs and rebooting ''

* [Nokia n810] hildon-application-manager crashes. Output [[Mer/Releases/0.16testing/hildon-application-manager.launch-crash|here]].

* [SmartQ7] After installation, on-screen keyboard is completely white and has no key symbols (Working for me on Q7 /Gnuet) (Works for me --[[User:kyelewis|kyelewis]])

* [SmartQ7] USB Networking wont start automatically on boot- needed 'sudo ifconfig usb0 192.168.2.15 up' to get it going- also, if 'up' missed, ifconfig will segfault! --[[User:kyelewis|kyelewis]]. ''Stskeeps: /etc/network/interfaces show it as being set up. That's weird.'' (Extra info: Device is actually pingable for about 15 seconds, then at some point during bootup it loses the IP setting --[[User:kyelewis|kyelewis]]). ''Stskeeps: expected testing4''

* [N800] Power button do no work
* [N800] Installing gpesummary crashes the desktop, same after reboot (unusable), message is like "cant open /home/<user>/.gpedo" --[[User:Eichi|Eichi]]
* [770] starting bluetooth manager kills MER / MRP

== Bugs in 0.16testing2 ==

Please test bugs in http://wiki.maemo.org/Mer/Releases/0.15 and see if they still persist. Otherwise add them below:

* [Nokia n810] Fn not working in first-boot-wizard - ''Stskeeps: expected testing4''
* [Nokia n800] Could not pass first-boot-wizard "Type your full name" (don´t have a usb keyboard to test with it/screen keyboard do not appear with stylus or with finger) ''Stskeeps: maemo-launcher wasn't being run, expected fix in testing3'' "marshel: fixed in testing3"
* [SmartQ7] As above, could not pass "Type your full name". No soft keyboard and usb keyboard did not work. ''as above''
** This can be worked around by using [[Mer/Documentation/USB_Networking|USB networking]] and installing [http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Maemo://Mer://Devel/Ubuntu_9.04/armel/first-boot-wizard_0.8_armel.deb first-boot-wizard_0.8_armel.deb] then doing a reboot
* [SmartQ5 & Q7] Wifi-enabler not working, lacking unzip. The file 47smartq-firmware misplaced and in DOS-format. ''Stskeeps: expected fix in testing4''
** Workaround: Copy contents of /etc/47smartq-firmware and make new file: /etc/first-boot.d/47smartq-firmware
** Don't forget to make read/executable (chmod a+rx /etc/first-boot.d/47smartq-firmware) ''Stskeeps: not needed''
** Install [http://launchpadlibrarian.net/19674308/unzip_5.52-12ubuntu1_armel.deb unzip_5.52-12ubuntu1_armel.deb], reboot and presto - wizard runs. ''Stskeeps: Expected in testing4''
* [SmartQ5 & Q7] Application manager doesn't work. Starts but nothing more. ''
** Try plugging in the bluetooth dongle... spooky... (the log shows : get btadapter: No such adapter)

PS.: at 3pm@GMT the trac above cited is offline. ''Stskeeps: yeah, power cut in my city'.
