This one is ready and fully DFSG-free, I will upload it to main
shortly after this mail. I am wondering if I should upload the
very same package to pkg-fso as well, because of
http://projects.linuxtogo.org/pipermail/smartphones-userland/2009-March/001360.html
* xf86-video-glamo (xserver-xorg-video-glamo)
Upstream files are under various licenses (XFree86, MIT and
GPL-2+), thus legal advice or upstream statement is necessary
http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2009/05/msg00013.html
Another showstopper is the autoreconf stuff, as I exaplined at
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-fso-maint/2009-May/001139.html
* xglamo (xserver-xorg-xglamo)
Now that xf86-video-glamo is available, I do not see any point in
keeping this one, for various reasons:
- it is dead upstream, last commit is 4 months ago
http://git.openmoko.org/?p=xglamo.git;a=summary
- it suffers various bugs in Debian
http://bugs.debian.org/xserver-xglamo
- it needs a special trick to fit in the Debian X11 universe
http://bugs.debian.org/502120
* linux-2.6-openmoko (linux-image-2.6.24-openmoko-gta02,
linux-image-2.6.28-openmoko-gta02, linux-image-2.6.29-openmoko-gta02)
First, if no one complain, I will remove the 2.6.24 flavour before the
end of the week: I do not know if someone is still using it and AFAIK
there are no big regression WRT 2.6.28.
About 2.6.29, however, the battery problem has not been solved yet

http://projects.linuxtogo.org/pipermail/smartphones-kernel/2009-March/000056.html
Going back to the topic, this package will be never uploaded to me (at
least by myself), for obvious reasons. The binary package name issue
is still open, I will try to revive it, but so far it seems no one has
any interest to fix it
http://bugs.debian.org/503292
The usefulness of the above bug is questionable if we consider that it
is still unsure if GTA01 and GTA02 can share a basic kernel

Thx, bye,
