With some help from Philip I managed to get tinymail to build again in OE, and added it to the armv5te feed (more archs will follow later). If anyone feels an urge to write a mailreader, please consider using the tinymail framework :) A screenshot of the demo ui:
Thanks Koen. I will, using Bart’s hp2200, create a video demo soon. If people or companies want to get tinymail working on their device, contact me and try to get glib 2.8 on it (tinymail makes heavy use of gslice, which is only available since glib 2.8).
Note that it’s a good idea to try to make the packages yourself using what is current in Subversion. Tinymail is changing and improving a lot these days. A lot features and ideas are planned and being worked on at this very moment. Please look at the packages as a preview rather than the product (the framework) itself. It’s also not a release nor a API promise until I release something officially.
Packages and apt mirrors for the Nokia 770 will sooner or later also be available. About release dates: I’m still planning to in parallel with Modest do a 1.0 release. But feel free to take releasing over from me. If there is one thing I hate about doing free software development, it’s that I have to do releases and all the work involved with that. If I could, I would rather stick to pure development.
