10:38.32vilpanWonka: what interests me most in linux-based phones is whether you get the freedom you have with most linux distros, that is access to a huge package repository via a package manager, which basically means unlimited choices for free software. Or is it the standard Nokia way, which lately, becomes more and more like the Apple way: a centralized store, buy commercial apps, lengthy EULAs, etc.
10:38.32vilpanDo you have any informative sources on how this aspect looks on MeeGO? :)
10:39.10Wonkanot at all
10:39.24Wonkabut wasn't meego supposed to be a debian derivative?
10:40.56*** join/#openmoko jivs (~jivs@nat-sta-smtc2.tvu.ac.uk)
10:41.44vilpanWonka: iirc, maemo was, meego should be based on something else, don't recall exactly
10:46.53Kamping_Kaiseriirc (from my reading of pres releases at the time), meego was meant to be a merger of maemo and intels mobile platform (moblin? something else?)

11:26.00vilpanKamping_Kaiser: correct, according to wikipedia. :) Thought, I recall some comments from unhappy maemo devs that the result of the merger was becoming too much Fedora and they were unhappy with shift from Debian. Don't have any practical experience with any of the devices, though, so can't tell how it feels for sure :)
11:27.29pabs3the N9/Harmattan stuff seems to use debs: http://harmattan-dev.nokia.com/pool/harmattan-beta/free/z/zlib/
11:27.44pabs3but I guess the UI software is all MeeGo stuff
11:28.19Saziusas far as I understand N9 will be MeeGo + Nokias proprietary UI, you can install a Terminal app and add any repositories and install what you want there...
11:28.22Kamping_Kaiserpabs3: interesting... i'm sure rpm was meant to be meegos base (as it was for moblin, and the reason i stopped wathing them)
11:28.54Kamping_Kaiservilpan: the switch to meego/rpm (which i thought was happening....) was one of the two main reasons i didn't end up with an n900
11:29.17Saziussome info about that: http://forum.meego.com/showthread.php?p=22819#post22819
11:29.30Kamping_KaiserSazius: ta
11:29.59vilpanKamping_Kaiser: I thought, n900 was still maemo, that is still Debian with apt-get goodness :/
11:30.35Kamping_Kaiservilpan: dunno what the current ones ship with - i stopped payiing attention :/
11:32.15pabs3yeah, N900 was Maemo 5
11:32.44pabs3N9 is this MeeGo 1.2/Harmattan/Maemo 6 thing
11:33.13pabs3with lotsa non-free bits: http://harmattan-dev.nokia.com/pool/harmattan-beta/non-free/
11:33.46Kamping_Kaiserwonder if it still needs proprietary software to charge
11:34.31pabs3seems so: http://harmattan-dev.nokia.com/pool/harmattan-beta/non-free/b/bme/
11:34.48Saziusthis blog post claims that the MeeGo Community Edition guys will start to work on the N9: http://flors.wordpress.com/2011/06/20/nokia-n9-state-of-the-art-of-mobile-linux-and-qt/
11:35.20Kamping_Kaiserdisappointing
11:35.32Saziusthat it is "real" MeeGo without Nokias proprietary UI, don't know about drivers and firmwares though
11:35.35Kamping_Kaiserhopefully one day they come to their senses
11:35.55pabs3Kamping_Kaiser: in any case the PowerVR drivers are going to be non-free
11:36.38pabs3wonders if glamo 3D ever got worked on
11:37.20Kamping_Kaisermmm
11:41.13Saziuswhy is something like libvorbisidec in non-free in harmattan repo? it's in main in Debian...
11:41.35vilpanso what about openmoko? Is suitable for actual every day use by casual users? Or will it ever be? Because openmoko is the closest match to the concept of a "free phone" as I see it
11:41.51Saziusand libjpeg, etc...
11:47.01Kamping_Kaiserhm, Sazius 's link suggests meego is rpm, and just harmattan is debs
11:47.18Saziusyes, this is my impression as well
11:47.36SaziusNokia got some kind of special permission to still call it "MeeGo" :)
11:49.05pabs3Sazius: maybe they added some patented stuff? or maybe its a dumb mistake
11:50.13Saziuswell patented stuff isn't non-free in copyright-sense :)
11:50.47*** join/#openmoko SpeedEvil (~user@tor/regular/SpeedEvil)
11:52.08Saziusbut yeah strange, but anyway the whole UI that is shipped with N9 and associated code is entirely proprietary

15:21.12DocScrutinizerhah, you already spotted N9
15:24.36DocScrutinizerKamping_Kaiser: N9 is still using bme for charging
15:24.59DocScrutinizeraah, pabs3 answered that
15:27.26DocScrutinizerKamping_Kaiser: N9 has a chimera called meego-harmattan that's actually mostly maemo still, and unrelated to the work of #meego-arm group
15:27.53DocScrutinizermeego is RPM, meego-harmattan probably deb
15:28.56DocScrutinizerpabs3: (vorbis) probably directly exploits DSP to playback audio
15:36.11SaziusDocScrutinizer: in my understanding harmattan has MeeGo API, so you can make applications for MeeGo in general and should work on N9 as well
15:36.28Saziusin Qt I suppose
15:36.34DocScrutinizeryep
15:37.20DocScrutinizeryou allegedly can code trans-platform for this but-ugly UI

16:34.19DocScrutinizerno idea really
16:34.29DocScrutinizeris this a blob?
16:35.14DocScrutinizerwasn't jpeg tainted by patents?
16:35.24pabs3seems to be, there doesn't look to be any sources there
16:35.38pabs3recently? wouldn't have thought so
16:35.57DocScrutinizerisn't that patent issue the reason why linux desktops went png for icons?
16:36.50pabs3maybe you are thinking of gif?
16:37.04pabs3but yeah, there seem to be some patent rumblings: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JPEG#Patent_issues
16:37.21pabs3never heard of them being a concern though
16:45.15Saziuslibjpeg is in main e.g. i Debian, and they are pretty strict with such issues
16:45.33Saziusi.e. not in non-free
16:45.39pabs3yeah, but not in harmattan it seems
16:45.52Saziusyeah, which is strange
16:45.58Saziusperhaps a mistake?
16:46.29pabs3perhaps. maybe it passes off to hardware decoding like DocScrutinizer suggested for the vorbis lib
16:47.32Saziusthat sounds like a likely explanation

16:55.04DocScrutinizerperhaps another hw optimization?
16:55.46DocScrutinizeranyway I wonder how they avoided GPL violations then

17:05.52*** part/#openmoko vilpan (~vilius@88-222-157-136.meganet.lt)
17:08.22Saziusit seems that both libjpeg and libvorbis are BSD-type licenses, not GPL (from very quick cursory web search)
