Following on from qwerty12's point, it shouldn't be impossible (or even that hard, once we figure it out) to get libwebkit, valac, your custom VAPIs etc. through the auto-builder.

Hell, the clean-slate approach it takes means the VAPIs can be just cp'ed to /usr/share/vala/vapi at the start of debian/control if we need to ;-)

Anyway, I'm in the process of updating vala now. Will let you know when it's in extras-devel.

Okay, forgive me my autobuilder ignorance, but I can't read this.

What will that give me?

It sets a variable, SBOX_REDIRECT_IGNORE for /usr/bin/tool, and then ensures that /usr/bin is at the head of your PATH.

Scratchbox uses host tools as much as possible (for speed), and also stuff within the devkit. However, the above allows you to override it.

So, for example, we could have a newer version of bison in Extras - your Build-Depends will specify the exact version - and override the version shipped as standard.

Lol, it's an general sbox1 trick

If you have a scratchbox 1 installed with python2.5 from extras, try this to see what I mean:

Code:

which python

Output:
/scratchbox/bin/...

Code:

python

Output:
Python 2.3...

From that output we see, that when you run "python", scratchbox intercepts it and runs its internal 2.3 version of python. We want the Maemo version of python 2.5 to be loaded so if I do:

Code:

export SBOX_REDIRECT_IGNORE=/usr/bin/python ; export PATH=/usr/bin:$PATH

and then do, this time:

Code:

which python

Output:
/usr/bin/python

Code:

python

Output:
Python 2.5

As we can see from that output (faked, but the outcome should be the same

), scratchbox now uses the version of a tool that you installed and does not use its internal version.

My idea is to implement the above in your debian/rules so scratchbox uses the newer version of bison instead of its internal version.

Now after typing that, I'm not even sure if scratchbox provides bison

, but the trick is good to know all the same

Can we have newer GCC too? It won't work with 3.x.

I don't see why not. Trickier, of course, as we need the GCC to be able to cross-compile; which is bound to be more fiddly.

Vala is now in Extras-Devel, along with the simplest Vala Hildon program (a noddy "hello world" sample) demonstrating that packages written in Vala can also be built using the auto-builder.

I'm not sure if I should post this here or try to use the bug reporter...

Tear doesn't work correctly with Privoxy. When I go to http://p.p/ (the easy way to view privoxy configuration), I get a dns resolve error. When I go to http://config.privoxy.org/ (the hard way to view privoxy configuration), I get "Privoxy is not being used".

Since privoxy is configured on the connection in maemo, I'm surprised that Tear managed to avoid using it.
