General news

Well, some of you were asking some questions so I'm going to publish new blog entry with several news.


Ohloh Journaling


I've started to use ohloh journaling. So more current informations can be found there, but I'll continue to post on my blog and I'll summarize all my relevant ohloh journaling entries, so you can just follow my blog. But if you are impatient, you can use ohloh journals ;-)


SDHC


One frequently asked question is about SDHC support. We have tested snua's SDHC in my Palm TX. As it is not supported by PalmOS, I had to boot Linux from normal card, but with running Linux I have been able to use SDHC card, so it seems like Linux can be solution if you want to use bigger cards ;-)


Releases


People keep asking me about new releases. Because of that, I've decided not only to prepare testing kernels but to prepare testing images as well. Both of them can be found at my testing page. Conditions are same as in the case of testing kernels. It's just compiled code. Testing images can be completely untested and completely not working. But again, if you are impatient, here is your chance ;-)

As always, I love hearing about these updates. For some reason, I could not get the opie-20080920 or opie-20080930 images to boot completely, or consistently for that matter; I have not had time to record the error messages, but I will eventually. I totally understand that they're untested time-based snapshots =D

I supose that you build this rootfs using the angstrom distribution whish is based on openembedded ?
Can you make a list of all packages from openembedded that you have used ? I was trying to set-up a network connection using bluetooth but I figure out that pand is not included.

Thanks,

PS: The idea is to know how to build a custom rootfs (any howto somewhere ?)

Is there new Palm TX testing kernel available? "testing/kernel/" dir seemed to contain only tt5 kernels.
