Differences Between Hentges And Oz/opie ?
« Reply #15 on: February 06, 2006, 02:52:34 pm »
Thanks for the replies.

1) So I guess for CoreDump-> any way my results help in troubleshooting? Are there any commands or log files that would be of help to you in diagnosing the problem?

2) Grog -> could I test out the new OZ release to see if I can bypass the problem by shutting dow the power mgmt? Haven't received a link for the oz release of yet. Should be ga fairly soon though, right?

Regards
Greg

All that you should have to do is sign up (i.e. leave a message) on the OZ page. Have you done that? Then you should get a message with the link.

Hrw just posted a [a href=\"https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=17573&hl=]new topic[/url] about the upcoming final release, and I believe that they might be compiling at least one more release candidate before that. So maybe they're waiting for that before they notify the testers. I don't know.

I am going to drop Poodle support for Hentges for the following reasons:
When building a new image for Akita or Poodle, I install every ROM before I upload it, verify basic functionality and test any changes made to previous versions (I don't test each and every program or function, mind you).

So for Collie and Akita I know what works and what doesn't
Now if $RANDOM_USER posts about his totally screwed up installation where most programs do not work
I know that they did something wrong because I have tested the ROM on the exact same hardware. What works for me must work for everyone else on the same machine or they screwed the installation up somehow. Maybe their SD card doesn't like ext2, is about to die or they flashed the wrong kernel for all I know. The fact remains: With Collie and Akita I always know if its a problem with the ROM or the user.

I can't verify anything about Poodle. I know that it has lots of problems but how do I know it's the ROM's fault or the users? Right, I can't.

And how would I debug the strange problems people are telling me about Poodle? Somehting works in OZ3.5.4RC but not on hentges. Great. There is just no way for me to find out whats wrong without working with someone for hours via IRC. With Collie and Akita I just sit down at home and try to figure it out.

With that said, I hereby stop releasing Poodle images. Sorry folks, it just didn't work out  

On the bright side, all my work on the standard OpenZaurus will be pushed into OE so that some day Poodle gets these as well. Just not ealier with hentges.

What if someone were to purchase a Poodle device for testing? I'd be willing to pony up $10 and I'm sure there are another 20-25 people who would do the same (they're going for around $200 on eBay). Any takers?
