That's incorrect. We fixed that 2 days ago and I'm waiting for his further reports on whether it works or not for him now. I also was waiting months*) after I initially granted upload permissions and mailed him that stuff might be partially broken and thus probably needs further action according to what doesn't work yet, based on his feedback.

Sidenote: you never basically upload pkgs to extras-devel, you upload to autobuilder (or rather drop), and autobuilder creates the binaries from your source and should propagate them to extras-devel after successful build. I already remarked that this propagation also is broken atm and you need to ping merlin1991 to do it manually.

I just checked my mails and verified that I never received this mail. As a result of how things appeared to me, I got the wrong impression that there is not a big interest in the N900/Maemo any more. It was only until Earthwings suggested by chance to ask for help in the #maemo channel for getting this thing rolling again. But in the end, I'm happy to have uploaded a new version of Marble successfully with the help of the Maemo community, esp joerg_rw.

Version 1.5.5-1 is out which is an important bugfix release for the N900. In particular, some annoying GUI freezes due to network access were resolved.

The packages are now in extras-devel and are waiting for your votes such that they can propagate to the stable repositories, reaching a wider audience. So if the update works fine for you and you've got a spare minute, please vote for:

• Marble - Virtual Globe 1.5.5-1
• Marble Maps 1.5.5-1

Be reminded to not update "MoNav routing daemon" when you enable the extras-devel repository, because it's incompatible with Marble.

Enjoy!

Gratefully installed. Thanks. Casual testing no show stoppers.

You need to promote them to extras-testing repository before anyone can vote

Works fine here
Both package have been promoted to extras-testing now, please vote here:

• Marble
• Marble Maps

I've been out of the loop from this package's progress so long now, but I'm extremely glad to see it has been ongoing. I need to someday catch up on the whole thread, for now I'll say I'm glad, very, that Marble keeps getting updates and uploads here for Maemo. Ever since last summer I've not been a position to be donating, but when I next will be, people responsible will be getting money thrown at them.

I'm a bit saddened that it seems earthwings had to step back from maintaining this, but I understand life happens, and am thankful shentey has come to take over, or whatever exactly has happened (Like I said, I need to catch up on the thread. I'm around a hundred posts behind).

Actually, I have the latest Marble and MoNav Daemon from devel installed at the same time right now and they seem to work perfectly together (installed fine, detected fine, downloaded a map of Florida through the config menu for it fine, routing seems to be working beautifully). Maybe since this was true changes in Marble upstream made it compatible with the newer MoNav as well? I can test more if people tell me what usecases to test.

As an aside, I would really love it if there was a way to select all (or to make the feature more useful for regular users, more generally allow multi-selection at each level of map categorization) of the MoNav routing maps for download at once. Then I could just select everything at once, launch the download, and go to sleep of something, have it ready in the morning, for instance. (Failing that, can someone tell me how to manually do whatever Marble/MoNav do to install the maps, so I can automate it in a shell script or something?)

has anyone been able to set home location using ui? if so, how do i do it.

I can't wait to become very rich!

As I've learned, there is no need for you to activate the extras-devel repository. Before I can ask you to vote for the packages, it's my job to promote the package to extras-testing where the mentioned MoNav package isn't present. So just treat that as false alarm

Please add feature requests in our bug tracker. Thanks!

All available MoNav routing maps for Marble are listed here: http://files.kde.org/marble/newstuff/maps-monav.xml Just pick the .tar.gz files you desire and extract them in ~/MyDocs/.local/share/marble/maps . Afterwards, they should be recognized by Marble, such that you should even see within the Marble GUI if updates are available.

Voting is finished, the packages are now in Extras for general consumption. Big thanks to everybody who voted!
