05:11.29ilonmerlin1991: I understand that this could be a bit of a headache.
05:12.07ilonmerlin1991: I just got the impression that it should "just work" to follow the n900 reflash guide + community ssu guide
05:21.12ilonmerlin1991: Is there a way I could help with this for the packages i encounter that are missing?
05:23.21ilonFor example, libwildmidi is provided under he LGPL 3: http://www.mindwerks.net/projects/wildmidi/
05:32.35ilonHmm, seems like the 0.2.2-2 are actually provided under the GPL 2
05:34.07ilonAnd only on v 0.2.3 they switched to LGPL 3

05:56.00ilonjurov / merlin1991: I updated the Installation FAQ for now: https://wiki.maemo.org/Community_SSU/Installation_FAQ but would really like to help getting this in to the repository, since my belief is that you should not have to use the terminal during the install process (for a fresh install)

17:32.29ilonmerlin1991: libwildmidi0 is the only missing piece for this to work, which are not already included in the repository
17:41.29bencohilon: are you talking about stock->cssu ?
18:16.45jurovbencoh, yes stock->cssu
18:20.52Sicelowhat are you doing ilon that needs libwildmidi0?
18:21.43Siceloin any case, libwildmidi0 *does* exist in repos (at least according to apt-cache).
18:40.14ilonSicelo: doing fresh flash / install of n900, following the guide to install cssu
18:44.27ilonSicelo: Yes, it does exist in the repositories, not in the ones mentioned in the wiki tho
18:45.00ilonIt did exist in the nokia repo
18:45.10Siceloand there are mirrors of those ...
18:45.16ilonsure is
18:45.40ilonbut it still makes it impossible to follow the guide and get a working cssu install
18:45.45ilonshould this be the case?
18:46.28Sicelo:)
18:46.34ilonI don't really get this, is it not in the interest of the community to have a working howto on how to install cssu?
18:47.06ilonbecause since I started to raise this, the response I've got are kind of defensive
18:49.50jurovi ran into exactly same problem
18:49.55ilonSicelo: and to answer your original question, what I try to do is: Installing cssu on a newly reflashed N900. And its gstreamer depends on it.
18:50.03jurovindependently
18:50.19ilonSicelo: this is a very real problem for anyone trying to do a fresh install of cssu as of today.
18:50.55bencohilon: it is .... just a manpower issue :)
18:51.04ilonSicelo: I could do it a second time around to verify, but I really doubt it would give another result
18:51.05Sicelomaybe "we" were misunderstanding you. i would say most understood your statements to say 'libwildmidi0 doesn't exist (anywhere), or missing' when actually the problem was not repos (which is "expected" to raise problem with not only libwildmidi0 but other packages)
18:51.24bencohmerlin1991: I guess we should build it from source ?
18:51.28bencoh(libwildmidi)
18:51.37Sicelos/not repos/repos/
18:51.48ilonbencoh: Well, thats why I ask how i could help out best
18:51.53ilon19:33:55 < ilon> merlin1991: Is there anything I can do to help with this matter?
18:52.09bencohoh, right :-)
18:52.16ilon:P
18:52.21ilonand, its already built once
18:52.28ilonand it does exist in the SDK repo
18:52.35bencohsame version ?
18:52.39ilonyes
18:52.46bencohindeed
18:52.55ilonand that exact version is listed as a depencendy for gstreamer
18:53.04bencohwe just need to rebuild from source and push it to some repo then
18:53.25ilonthis might be silly but, does it need to be rebuilt?
18:53.42bencohnot sure, that's why I asked merlin
18:53.43ilonhttp://maemo.org/packages/package_instance/view/fremantle_sdk_free_armel/libwildmidi0/0.2.2-2maemo1/
18:53.56ilonjust installing that one manually works like a charm
18:54.17ilonand its the same version and target that are listed as dep on libgstreamer
18:54.21ilonerr, -lib
18:54.22bencohbut we might as well start "clean" anyway for an "opensource" drop-in replacement :)
18:54.34ilonit is open source.
18:55.01bencohyeah I mean, if we are to have a repos with all the opensource bits that were in the nokia repos
18:55.22bencohfmg/merlin were talking about that at some point (but again, manpower, time, ...)
18:55.29ilonyes
18:55.48ilon"Is there a way I could help with this for the packages i encounter that are missing?"
18:55.54ilonme yesterday
18:55.58ilonI dont have much time
18:56.06Sicelothere shouldn't be any if you add the new repo?
18:56.13ilonbut I do get really annoyed by this kind of issues :P
18:56.28ilonSicelo: which repo?
18:56.44Sicelo"nokia" repos... the mirrors?
18:56.49bencohyou have a point though ... comparing sdk/free and nokia's repositories is probably a quick&efficient way of doing it
18:56.52bencohat least for most packages
18:56.55Sicelomuarf for example?
18:56.58ilonSicelo: no, that would work, but they live on lended time
18:57.38ilonsince as soon as nokia / microsoft are starting to send out letters to the owners on those, they would likely go down
18:57.43bencohI hope I'll be able to keep it alive (at least as long as I have my n900 ... and I hope it wont die on me anytime soon :-)
18:57.50Sicelo:)
18:57.50bencoh(the mirror)
18:58.12ilonbencoh: well, I have good faith in everyone involved, but money usually talks
18:58.14Siceloat that time, not only libwildmidi0 will matter, but a lot of the really closed source stuff.
18:58.18Sicelo:)
18:58.37ilonand when big corp start to sending out threats people usually don't dare to take the fight
18:58.45bencohSicelo: actually there are two aspects here
18:58.45ilonSicelo: exactly
18:59.06bencohkeeping a copy of the original repo "because there is always some special case when you need it"
18:59.14bencohand "being able to upgrade from stock"
18:59.35bencoh(remove the doublequotes in the second line)
18:59.39iloneither way, my suggestion would be: do as discussed, start a new repo with the intent to push all those packages that were in the original nokia repo if the license of each package allows it
18:59.57bencoh+1 :)
19:00.01ilonyeah, and my suggestion would be the third
19:00.27ilonbut fixing the repos / guides to be able to install from stock would be first priority imho
19:01.10ilonI would volunteer to actually take a list of all libs and go through them one by one, find source and license
19:01.19bencoh<3
19:01.39ilonI can't promise to build them, but I can atleast dig up source and license for the "easy ones"
19:01.57ilonthat would probably mean the majority of them
19:02.40ilonbencoh: you said you had a mirror of the original repo? Would you have the time to actually do a diff against community repo?
19:02.51jurovit was also mentioned that cssu doesn't really beed gstreamer-plugins-bad dependency
19:03.09jurovso quickest fix would be to remove it, perhaps
19:03.12ilonjurov: then remove it, or add the libwildmidi0 to the repo
19:03.28ilonbut having broken dependencies is bad, really bad
19:03.38bencohilon: to do what ?
19:03.49ilonit prevents everyone not tech (linux/debian) savvy to install cssu
19:03.57bencoha diff against what ?
19:04.26ilonbencoh: against the packages provided in the community repos
19:04.34ilonthen put it up somewhere
19:05.02ilonshould be rather trivial thing to do I think
19:06.33bencohwith some awk-fu, maybe ... I cant use that kind of black magic though ;)
19:06.52ilonbencoh: well, errr.
19:06.59bencohthe Packages file format is pretty awful for parsing iirc
19:06.59ilonlemme think a second.
19:07.33ilonbencoh: could you link me the repo please? private if needed
19:07.55bencohhttp://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=1467839
19:08.10ilonthanks
19:10.12bencohwe could grep ^Package: |sort and compare, as a first step
19:14.50ilonneed version as well
19:14.57ilonI'll fix it :)
