When the N900 was first released, tons of people are crying about there was no portrait support. Later portrait was added to the browser but not other part of UI.

Now the portrait mode is here, but those people, disgruntled or not, have long moved on to other phones most likely. Only those harddcore who already get used to or feel compatible with the landscape UI are still here

I haven't checked this site for months after I felt my N900 had been working fine to me. I came back only after I bought and moved on to the N9. I guess I will try the cssu later as I still love the N900.

And it was that way all the time for the last half an year or more - every time it was a battle to find MohammadAG and to convince him to push the new version. It was his laptop cooling fan faulted, it was his internet connection in uni, it was his n950 at customs, etc. etc. And if someone does not believe in my words, he can ask arcean,joerg_rw, merlin1991 or someone else who is active on #maemo-ssu for confirmation
thank you very much for your reply.

as you prolly guessed, I'm no programmer , I am just a follower of you guys.
i follow and use your various N900 projects.

i was just expressing my thoughts on CSSU's progress

portrait mode comes in handy when you listen to music on the go.
one handed use!

btw, you have the ability to orientation lock. landscape or portrait

Glad to hear that,

This prompted me to go through the CSSU stable and testing threads. Still left me with a bad taste.

Now the big question is: does the updated modest depend on *anything* from the CSSU, or can it be installed on top of PR1.3[.1]?

If it can be installed w/o CSSU, can you point me to the .deb? I would be happy to try it!

I'm not sure that this is possible, I may be wrong. The point of cssu from the get go was to be able to update packages that could not be updated by a .deb package due to closed source and packages that could be updated this way were not going to be included.

Maybe it is possible with some trickery with dpkg and mp-fremantle-pr though neither tested nor supported.

I can prolly just upload the binary once I get to installing it. Unless there is some incompatibility with previous config file (or dependencies) should run without probs

No need to upload, all CSSU binaries (i.e. debs) are in cssu repo.

So what is stopping someone from installing just the chosen debs (and uninstalling/reverting while we're at it)??? As some fixes are couple-line patches I am sure these do not break dependencies.

Nothing I guess.
