Aloisio’s blog site

Yeah… After some months using monotone repository, Mamona team decided to migrate to git. Reasons?

• Performance: Some things that you can do while mtn works..
  • ‘mtn status’: you can check irc messages
  • ‘mtn update’: take some coffee
  • ‘mtn pull’: make the coffee
• Monotone ‘propagate’ issues: If your branch starts to become very different from the main branch, get prepared, you will probably experience problems with propagation. It seems that monotone doesn’t deal very well with directory removals. It wouldn’t so bad if the errors were made to help the monotone user to fix the problem, but actually errors that show node numbers are just useful to monotone developers…

As OpenEmbedded has a git repository (maintained by mtn2git script of Holger Freyther), we created the Mamona git repository and stopped to use the old monotone one.

After one month of use we just experienced problems with git-push-http that was breaking during the push, but after a git upgrade the problem was solved. Until now, no problems to create many branches and work with them. Thanks to Canola guys for help me to set up the git repository and to show me the basic and some advanced commands

Mamona now is runninng Canola.

A lot of dependencies were necessary, it was a really heavy packaging and dependencies tracking work.

All of the offline features are working very well. The performance is below expected yet I’m trying to figure out why… Further I’ll post the results. Actually just the launch and first clicks are slow… after some time Canola start to work smoothly. See in the video below the test of some features of Canola on Mamona.

Here in INdT, my first task was make enlightenment run in n800 over Mamona! Vivi helped me with this task and we make it work! More details look here.

Some ajustments in BitBake files were necessary (to use CVS version instead of snapshots). Other new bb files were created to match with enlightenment dependencies.

Now let’s make some changes to include apps and make the appearance more friendly to n800 users

Opa! Ainda sou o Aloisio, ainda tenho vinte e poucos anos e continuo formado no mesmo curso na mesma faculdade. Pronto! O resto? Mudou tudo!!!! Agora moro em Recife-PE em lugar ainda a procurar, e trabalho como pesquisador no INdT - Instituto Nokia de Tecnologia com tecnogias em software para sistemas embarcados. Aqui nesse blog vou deixar pensamentos e conquistas profissionais

Bom, chega de ter blog pelo simples fato de ter…vamos escrever nessa bagaça!
A idéia desse blog é escrever sobre assuntos profissionais… mas, as vezes, vou postar algo pessoal pra deixar minhas ideias por ae…
Pra começar… uma duplinha de posts… o antes e o agora.
