ACTUAL OUTCOME: =================== Nothing happens. USER IMPACT: =================== User can't remove calls from Dialer's history. REPRODUCIBILITY: ===================================== always EXTRA SOFTWARE INSTALLED: ============================ OTHER COMMENTS: =================== To successfully clear the history you'll have to e.g. dd the image again.

Spotify on MeeGo

Download deb files:

 wget http://repository.spotify.com/pool/non-free/s/spotify/spotify-client-gnome-support_0.4.6.50.g0aa5286-1_all.deb

 wget http://repository.spotify.com/pool/non-free/s/spotify/spotify-client-qt_0.4.6_i386.deb

Get alien tarball:

 wget http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/a/alien/alien_8.81.tar.gz

Untar:

 tar zxvf alien_8.81.tar.gz

Install stuff to build alien:

 sudo zypper install binutils make rpm-build perl-ExtUtils-MakeMaker

(there may be other dependencies, but these are the ones I needed)

Build and install alien:

 perl Makefile.PL; make; sudo make install

Convert Spotify debs to rpms:

 sudo /usr/local/bin/alien -r spotify-client-gnome-support_0.4.6.50.g0aa5286-1_all.deb

 sudo /usr/local/bin/alien -r spotify-client-qt_0.4.6_i386.deb

Install Spotify RPMs (ignoring errors):

 sudo rpm -i --nodeps spotify-client*.rpm

Run it! (you need a Premium account at the moment)

Platform documentation suggestions

(based on a list provided by Bob Spencer)

These are suggestions for component-based tutorials

Comms Services

BlueZ
ConnMan
oFono
telepathy

Internet Services

Webkit
libSocialWeb (glib)
geoclue / gypsy

Visual Services

EGL
OpenGL 2.1
OpenGL ES 1.1
OpenGL ES 2.0
GTK
Clutter

Media Services

gstreamer
PulseAudio
GUPnP

Data Mgmt

Tracker
ContextKit
PackageKit

Device Services

libDSME, QMSystem
System Policy FW
sensord
System Info (varied libraries)

Personal Services

Accounts & single sign-on: accounts-qt / signon-qt
Buteo

Base Libraries

libudev
glibc (POSIX)
GConf / DConf

Platform recipes

These are aimed at platform developers who want to work below the level of app developers (e.g. add a new panel to MeeGo netbook, integrate with the MeeGo desktop better, use Mx or Clutter directly).

So they cover libraries and services which don't have Qt wrappers and which are unlikely to get them, but which are core to MeeGo.

DBus is core here, as it's used for IPC on MeeGo but isn't explained very well anywhere.

Tracker is another area which needs documentation. It may be documented elsewhere, but not in the MeeGo context much.

libsocialweb is important for netbook, but doesn't seem to be core across verticals. It is barely documented.

Clutter has some decent documentation, but Mx has the bare minimum, with some parts of the API being largely undocumented (like MxOffscreen).

What's very often lacking is task-oriented "how" documentation at the application level: how do I create a window? how do I animate an application between two states? how do integrate with the desktop and menu system?

The kind of things app devs want to know

Getting started

Which host OS can I develop on? Linux? Mac? Windows?

Which languages can I use?

Do I have to develop on the device, or will webapps work?

Screen resolutions?

Support for 3D graphics?

How do you structure a MeeGo app? What is it going to have in it? Objects? Functions? Resources? Graphics? Where do they all go?

How does my application fit into the lifecycle of the device? Power up, power down, cleaning up after itself

What's already on a MeeGo device (libraries, applications, services)? What's running on it by default? How can I make use of it? How can I start my own background services?

Are there any security considerations? e.g. the effective user, default file permissions?

How do I install my application once I've written it? Package formats? Are there public repositories I can use? Can I set up my own repository? How do I deploy manually?

About application development more specifically

(half-inched from http://library.gnome.org/devel/platform-overview/stable/; MeeGo has nothing like this yet)
