...I think nobody can stick on v37 when there is a v39 available; we are just curious nerds :rolleyes:

@titan

but we can update to v39 even if we dont wish to dual boot right?

I'm not from around here but could you switch to human versioning, e.g. 37u, 38d, 39d, with d being developer only builds so we can conveniently ignore d builds?

Thats why he have 3 repositories. Use the extras repo if you are not a developer or just curious!

@ndi: v39 is only in extras-devel (unstable software). just disable the catalouge and you'll only see v37 from extras (stable).
@gabby131: yes

@maartenmk: now it's the fcam developers' job to build updated modules for the kernel.
Their drivers are independent and everything for building them is now provided by the repository.
I don't want to release a new kernel everytime they update their code.

Agreed. And I believe they said they would, so it should be a temporary problem. It just seemed to be not too much work to compile the -2 drivers, as a temporary solution. (but I don't know how much work it actually is, I'd try myself if I knew how).

Probably, but I would hate to be inbetween those times when Apple and the Jailbreakers are fighting the update game. Granted I think most jailbreakers wait until the jailbreak time handles the new Apple updates. But it only takes one potential "phone call" home to Apple to deem your device jailbreaked. And once is all it takes to invalidate your warranty (even if it's not a software issue).

But again this is all speculation, Apple hasn't shown their hand yet (besides refusing service if you tell them your device is jailbroken).

I haven't installed any of the fcam related software into my N900. Are the current versions compatible with the v37 kernel that I could just download fcam from app manager and not experience any problems?

No, see post #108 of this thread.

We're having a little trouble doing this. It seems like built versions of the kernel scripts that are present in kernel-headers (genksyms, modpost, etc) aren't present in kernel-power-headers. Am I missing something? I added a bug to the kernel-power-headers bug tracker in case this was just an oversight.

This is what I do in scratchbox to compile fcam-drivers against the stock kernel:

Code:
apt-get source fcam-drivers
apt-get install kernel-headers
cd fcam-drivers_1.0.5-2
make KERNELDIR=/usr/src/kernel-headers
a bunch of .ko files are produced.

This is what I did in scratchbox to try and compile our fcam-drivers against the enhanced kernel headers

Code:
apt-get source fcam-drivers
apt-get install kernel-power-headers
cd fcam-drivers_1.0.5-2
make KERNELDIR=/usr/src/kernel-power-headers
.. I get an error message about scripts/genksyms/genksyms being absent.

If I try to build the scripts like so:

Code:
make -C /usr/src/kernel-power-headers scripts
I get errors about missing include files. Looks like path issues trying to build the scripts from the headers package. Let me know if I'm doing something silly.

Edit: This is with v39. I have extras-devel and extras-testing enabled in scratchbox.
