Does anyone has any infos ???

From the homepage:

Roadster isn't really ready for the masses, but hackers can get Roadster from CVS like so (just press enter when asked for a password):

cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.cairographics.org:/cvs/cairo login
cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.cairographics.org:/cvs/cairo co roadster

the homepage has additional links:

Roadster uses embedded-mysql which requires a binary-only module from the mysql company which isn't available for ARM. So unless you run the x86 version in qemu on your zaurus, roadster won't run. I'll have another look at the roadster recipe in OE after I get back to Europe.
Another way is to make sqlite support geofeatures and send a patch to Ian.
