Openmoko: 'Base' image status review

After installing and configuring my 'Base' image this week, I did opkg update && opkg upgrade today. Here's my status review.

next review

New issues found:

  • #2071 After doing upgrade, the base image will not start anymore. Apparently Wifi initializing is blocking a proper startup.
ps. So my advice is: don't upgrade your base image (except if you want to help with fixing the bug), because it makes that image unusable. I will report when the issue is solved.

Edit: Sorry, I had written 'Stable' image instead of 'Base' image. Thanks to the replies that has put me to thinking. Sorry for my mistake.

Hey,

did you really install the "stable" image before upgrading ? These changes should affect "testing" only. Unless you manually change the URLs you should not be harmed ...

I saw the issue you are speaking of (unable to boot after upgrade) in the testing branch. I am running the latest updated stable on my phone right now without any new issues. So, I'm not able to reproduce your results.
