Maemo autobuilder & package interface now fully working again

Ivaylo Dimitrov has completed a substantial part of rebuilding and maintaining the maemo.org infrastructure: the autobuilder and Packages interfaces are now working again (for Maemo 5, at least):

All of you who were using extras-devel as a replacement to extras, disable extras-devel and extras-testing repositories. Now our packages infra is(or at least looks like) functional, we should revert to the way all this is supposed to work. Testers/users - please do your job and vote for the packages in testing. Developers - promote the stuff to extras. maemo.org is still understaffed, so anyone with any PHP skills, interested in maintaining the Midgard infrastructure which holds everything together, should get in touch with techstaff@maemo.org.

Devel RT @jukkaeklund: Porting apps from #MeeGo Harmattan to #sailfishos. https://t.co/qkRfRY2647

Editor: Andrew Flegg

Sailfish, the open source platform underpinning Jolla's phone, has a document on its wiki which provides useful information and guides on how to port existing MeeGo 1.2 Harmattan applications (for the Nokia N9) to Sailfish OS devices. The guide covers the high-level differences between the platforms, as well as some of the detail of converting QML, Qt Quick, SDL and Open GL ES applications.

Power Menu QML

Via: @jaffa2

Talk user "coderus" has published an initial version of a new menu, which provides a "simple menu on powerkey long press action, replaces default poweroff action". The first preview provides the following features: - select profile: general / silent

- enable / disable vibra

- reboot phone

- poweroff phone

- restart sysuid process

- restart homescreen process

The effort is primarily a reimplementation of Mohammad Abu-Garbeyyeh's work, but in QML.
