The Bora repositories now contain updated maemo 3.2 content. The developer who has previously installed maemo 3.1 sdk can now upgrade to maemo 3.2 by following the instructions in INSTALL.txt file. We have not published a separate repository for this release so there is no need for you to edit your "/etc/apt/sources.list" file inside your SB environment. RELEASE CONTENT OVERVIEW ======================== This maemo 3.2 Bora SDK release contains the following components: - Nokia EUSA binaries installer in self-extracting archive - Bora repositories with updated maemo 3.2 packages Note: this release does not contain separate rootstraps. Nokia EUSA licensed binaries installer - Some Nokia EUSA licensed packages are only made available as binaries. To make these packages available, you will need to run the installer and accept the license. Accepting the license will extract the files to a directory under your Scratchbox home path. SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS ================================== Recommended minimum hardware setup: - Please visit http://www.scratchbox.org/ for detailed information about hardware requirements. Software: - Scratchbox Apophis R4 or later - The following toolchains from scratchbox.org scratchbox-toolchain-cs2005q3.2-glibc-arm scratchbox-toolchain-cs2005q3.2-glibc-i386 This maemo release was tested on the following Ubuntu distributions: - Dapper - Edgy - Feisty and in following Debian distributions: - Etch This release should work (even if it was not tested) also on other Scratchbox supported Linux distributions. Debian based distributions are recommended. FEATURES ======== The supported features are the same as in maemo 3.1. Some additional tools are also provided. Please see http://maemo.org/development/maemo_tools_index.html for details. REMOVED FEATURES ================ The ARMEL, X86 rootstraps and dev rootfs are not delivered in this release. See the content_comparison.html file for details about changes in available packages. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS ========================= Please see INSTALL.txt file under this directory. KNOWN LIMITATIONS ================= - When the Hildon Application Framework is started with "af-sb-init start" command there are some unnecessary warnings and debugging messages. These can be ignored. - Qemu emulator in Scratchbox (ARMEL) does not exit properly after closing the Hildon Application Framework. Workaround is to kill the leftover Qemu processes manually using command "sb-conf killall". - Virtual keyboard The special characters button in the new Virtual Keyboard does not function. If you work on rootstraps the workaround is just to use the normal PC keyboard to enter characters. This button does not function in developer rootfs. - The gazpacho hildon plugins are still beta version (in garage). - debconf: the SDK contains the debconf package due to dependency reasons but this is not present in Nokia N800 product. Please take this into account when creating packages. - The "file selection" dialog fails in ARMEL target. This works in X86 target. - gstreamer: the sounds do not currently work in Scratchbox ARMEL target. - bluetooth: the bluetooth does not fully work in Scratchbox ARMEL target.
