Discussion topics

  • finding source locations and identifying GOOD patches
  • submitting potential patches to a central testing source
  • making a new mp-generic* meta package
  • discussing with lma about current n8x0 community ssu problems and workarounds and insight
  • looking into getting the wiki sorted
    • need wiki editor :P
  • looking at how to manage the patchsets
    • we know the N900 Fremantle system works well using git tags
    • the 8x0 patchset currently contains 10 local based quilts


Build Sources

We must gather together and list the main giturl sources and tags used to build from.

for instance: http://gitorious.org/modest/modest tag 3.4.8

This allows us to reproduce builds and get source to the same location we build from. 

<lcuk> how many packages for n8x0 are you looking at including in an ssu?
<lcuk> and how have you considered looking at updating the system so far - you said its all manual at the moment
<lma> I have 10 (source) packages at the moment
<lcuk> do you mind listing them

This has started at http://gitorious.org/community-ssu, but needs completing with things like Modest.
