App Developers and Mer

A question of curiosity.
To any application developers that might be on this list, are you
planning to make sure your applications will work on Mer?

I am wondering what kind of application support Mer will gain?

Thanks,
Sean

There is a maemo-developers list - probably fits better, as this is the
maemo-users list.

But to let people on this list know ... :)

We hope to be close enough that we plan to have apps submitted to the
autobuilder be built against Mer.

Of course developers will need to account for things like the N800
having no keybaord etc

There are many ways to think of Mer... a backport of Fremantle to the
N8x0/770 is one of them.

Yes. After my application run fine in fremantle I plan to start looking
at Mer. Since Mer should be rather fremantle-like (at tat time) I do not
expect larger problems. I'm also intersted in getting back any feedback
for my applications on Mer.

A good one, since a working Mer will allow me to drop support for the
older diablo OS version (N800, N810) and possible even gain back support
for 770.

Since Mer should be more fremantle-like than the older OS version
getting Mer to run on the devices will make it possibly easier to
support older Devices for developers that have a fremantle version of
their applications running.

Re: App Developers and Mer [In reply to]

I really would like to!

I started coding my app before N900 hardware specs were fully disclosed, and
when I discovered that it has no USB OTG it was too late!
But, as mrawviewer (a DSLR RAW image viewer) would benefit a lot from the
possibility of directly connecting a DSLR to have a look at the pictures
stored in its memory card, I was considering two options:

a) backport mrawviewer to Diablo as the N8x0 has USB OTG support;

or

b) see if mrawviewer will work on Mer as it is now;

As I have no time to maintain two different codebases, option b) is my
preferred one at the moment :-)
