I'm a python developer in real life and enjoyed hacking on my N900 so much that I wanted to continue with the N9/N950. My application for the N950 was accepted and I'm starting the two projects:


Contents

scratchbox on Fedora

start / login

sudo /scratchbox/sbin/sbox_ctl start && sudo /scratchbox/sbin/sbox_sync && /scratchbox/login

quick and dirty package build 

apt-get source python-minimal
cd python-defaults-2.6.6-3+squeeze4/
dpkg-buildpackage -sa -rfakeroot -kmartin@martindengler.com
fakeroot apt-get install debiandoc-sgml lsb-release
dpkg-buildpackage -sa -rfakeroot -kmartin@martindengler.com
aegis-manifest -d

things to do once

  • edit /etc/apt/sources.list in scratchbox (TODO: include what?)
  • copy / create you GPG private key in .gnupg
  • patch /scratchbox/users/*/targets/HARMATTAN_*/usr/lib/python2.6/urllib2.py if you're going to use the rpm/packaged osc, since you will have a problem with scratchbox's urllib2.py as in http://bugs.python.org/issue9639

dbus tricks

qdbus --system org.freedesktop.DBus / org.freedesktop.DBus.ListNames dbus-send --system --type=method_call --print-reply --dest=com.nokia.time /com/nokia/time org.freedesktop.DBus.Introspectable.Introspect

dbus-send --system --type=method_call --print-reply --dest=com.nokia.time /com/nokia/time com.nokia.time.enable_alarms boolean:"false"

dbus-send --system --type=method_call --print-reply --dest=com.nokia.time /com/nokia/time com.nokia.time.alarms_enabled

Checking whether Aegis is securing a file / inode

~ # ls -i /bin/sh 

144908 /bin/sh

~ # sha1sum /bin/sh 7fd44caa86b259e8724f5da10adfcc7fee4e0a16 /bin/sh ~ # grep 144908 /sys/kernel/security/validator/hashlist 9990003 144908 (0,0,33261)S no 7fd44caa86b259e8724f5da10adfcc7fee4e0a16

  1. note how both the inode number and sha1sum are present

~ # ls -i /etc/mce/mce.ini 

143850 /etc/mce/mce.ini

~ # grep 143850 /sys/kernel/security/validator/hashlist

  1. nothing there - so aegis isn't monitoring it

Python tricks

QtMobility Accelerometer example 

import sys, os

from PySide import QtCore, QtGui, QtDeclarative, QtOpenGL
from QtMobility import Sensors



class XYZReadingListener(QtCore.QObject):
    def __init__(self, reading_prefix=None):
        QtCore.QObject.__init__(self)
        self.rotation = (0.0, 0.0, 0.0)
        if reading_prefix is not None:
            self.reading_prefix = reading_prefix + " "
        else:
            self.reading_prefix = ""

    @QtCore.Slot()
    def on_reading_changed(self):
        reader = self.sender()
        reading = reader.reading()
        self.rotation = (reading.x(),
                         reading.y(),
                         reading.z())
        print "%sreading = %s" % (self.reading_prefix, self.rotation)


app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)

accel = Sensors.QAccelerometer()
accel_listener = XYZReadingListener("Accelerometer")
accel.readingChanged.connect(accel_listener.on_reading_changed)
accel.start()

magnetometer = Sensors.QMagnetometer()
magnetometer_listener = XYZReadingListener("Magnetometer")
magnetometer.readingChanged.connect(magnetometer_listener.on_reading_changed)
magnetometer.start()

sys.exit(app.exec_())
