Hentges Rom: New Versioning System
« on: October 23, 2006, 11:17:57 am »
Hello all,

as of today, Hentges ROMs will use a different versioning system which is independent from OpenZaurus releases / versions, please read Versioning.txt for details.

You can find snapshots for Akita, Spitz and Collie here:
EDIT:http://hentges.net/tmp/snapshots/Hentges-ROM/1.0.0/20061030/

and for Poodle here:
http://hentges.net/tmp/snapshots/Hentges-ROM/1.0.0/20061104/

Known Problems so far:

All devices:
- none at this time

SL-C3x00 + SL-C1000 aka Spitz & Akita:
- The hostap_cs WIFI driver does not survive a suspend / resume cycle
- cat some_soundfile.raw > /dev/dsp does no longer work ( mplayer & friends still produce sound )

SL-5500 + SL-5000 aka Collie:
- mplayer fails to start with libmad error
- ipkg.conf points to a missing machine feed

SL-5600 aka Poodle:
- The hostap_cs WIFI driver does not survive a suspend / resume cycle
- Sound is working but distorted,
- GPE's key-bindings are incomplete

Ah, Opie is acting up  
That could be a problem since Opie is unmaintained. I will have a look.

    PortaBase (It has 2000 Entrys & Took 20 Secs to Load RSS Size 6.2Mb.)  

 I Installed The Upgrades From The Feed & It Seems To Have Cured The Timezone Bug  


  Also Why is OE not Using the Flash ERam ?? Using The Hdd Cuts Down on The
Battery Life

I just installed the image on my terrier, and am tinkering.  I found what I think are too small errors in the package manager feeds list for the spitz roms.  All the feeds list 3.5.4.1 except the ./feed/upgrades/machine/spitz & ./feed/machine/spitz.  When I browsed the feeds, there appears not to be  spitz directories on machine under 3.5.4.2, just 3.5.4.1.  So when you run ipkg update, you get a 401 error on these two feeds, and then a follow on error  because of this.

I changed the 3.5.4.2 to 3.5.4.1 in the ipkg.conf & no more errors on those two feeds.

Now there is just an error for the oz.henges.net/hentges-feeds/1.0.0/upgrades, but I expect that this will remain until that feed gets put up as there appears to be only 3.5.4.1 not 1.0.0 feeds in that directory.

Thanks for your continued great work- I've been excitedly waiting to try your rom on my terrier.

Coredump,

You once wrote (in the old howtos) a method for running OPIE & GPE at the same time. Unfortunately, when it was transferred to the howtos of the open zaurus forums, it lost all its links so it's quite useless. This, of course, was for folks with older Zs who need to use altboot. I never quite got to that with my Tosa before the battery issue drove me to buy a Terrier. Now I need usable software for it.

I bet it is super easy to get all the files and processes to work together when you have 6 gig of hard disk on a Terrier. Could you reiterate your earlier instructions for this environment?

Thanks.

Right, since there will be no 3.5.4.2 for SL-Cxx00, these directories are indeed missing.  Thanks for spotting that.

I'll create empty feed-lists at said URL to remove the error messages.
