[Gpephone-devel] silently updated releases

[YE NAN RD-ILAB-PEK]

Dear Florian,

I think this would be caused by the checksum syncrohnization during our G(PE)^2 release. Since, some packages CANNOT pass "make distcheck", we fixed all those bugs and refreshed the packages on download page of our website. Maybe, this caused the checksum verfication failure.

So I wonder if it's convenient for you to update the checksum of OpenEmbedded to solve this problem?

Best regards,
Nan YE

has there been any progress on this?  I changed my build tree around a bit and now can't get past gnutls (as of this morning and over the last few
days) so I don't know whether any of the checksums have been fixed (i realize from the above explanation that it is somewhat more difficult than
that)

I know from reading the OEDEM notes that there are thoughts about getting build environments for stupid users (tm) like me (self assigned) that are not the bleeding edge developer versions, but I would just like to get an environment up to do some test builds for my htc tornado.

I greatly appreciate everyone's effort on the project - I'm eager to use it.

Regards,
Joshua
