Hi guys,

I found a way to update MeeGo from daily trunk by creating a repo file.

The instructions below should be performed when You've booted into MeeGo.

This might break Your MeeGo install and force You to reinstall. Use it at Your own risk...!

This is what You do:

Create a repo file in /etc/zypp/repos.d called updates-handset-trunk.repo which contains the following*:
Code:
[updates-handset-trunk]
name=updates-handset-trunk
enabled=1
autorefresh=0
baseurl=http://repo.meego.com/MeeGo/builds/trunk/daily/handset/repos/armv7l/packages/
type=rpm-md
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:/etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-meego01
[updates-handset-debuginfo-trunk]
name=updates-handset-debuginfo-trunk
enabled=0
autorefresh=0
baseurl=http://repo.meego.com/MeeGo/builds/trunk/daily/handset/repos/armv7l/debug/
type=NONE
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:/etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-meego01
[updates-handset-source-trunk]
name=updates-handset-source-trunk
enabled=0
autorefresh=0
baseurl=http://repo.meego.com/MeeGo/builds/trunk/daily/handset/repos/source/
type=NONE
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:/etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-meego01
After this run:
Code:
zypper refresh
accept the key with 'a'

Update with:
Code:
zypper update
There You go... Latest and greatest...

* I SSH'ed in to create the repo file and run the update.

SSH is started at boot so what You need to do is find the IP address (I'm guessing You've already connected to a WLAN).

Open Xterm and run this:
Code:
su -
ifconfig wlan0
The root password is 'meego'.

SSH to the N900 as user root with the password written above.

We don't test upgrades, just for good measure, so things might probably start breaking.

Big red warning added...

But it is not possible to update from the uboot enabled version from the tabletdevs site, right?
