My opinions on release 3.0

(1/8) > >>

robin0800:
Sansa C200 should not be released until The OF is not needed for things like charging and transfering files. In fact Any target like this should in my opinion not be released. Rockbox should perform all basic functions before a version 3.0 release for these targets.

This was discussed on IRC and most people seemed to think it wasn't a big deal, since using the OF for file transfer works smoothly enough on the Sansas.  Though I think there was some thought that automatic rebooting back into the OF should be fixed if at all possible.

robin0800:
Well I think both charging and file transfers should be in rockbox.
It is perhaps true the are both not far away.
So really I would rather wait until these are done before release three, at least this would keep the pressure on. It might also help in support as you could tout release three as a replacement and any thing less still needing the OF.

Llorean:
It's "3.0" not "Release three" as there have been more than two previous releases.

Please, it's really not that hard to just accept that it's a specific version number and use it.

The USB problems in all likelihood will not be resolved by the 3.0 release date. Delaying the release will not happen, as we all know what happens if we fall into that trap. Either the release coordinator will decide using the OF USB mode is acceptable, or he won't. That's about all there is to it. If it's decided to be unacceptable, 3.0 won't include those targets that must use it. But this seems very unlikely to happen, so you'll frankly just have to accept that.

Zardoz:
Just a question - maybe two..... three...also maybe a little off-topic. Why is there any importance placed on a release 3.0? Is it a means of applying a little pressure, cleaning out unnecessary code, making the whole thing tidier and so on? If this is an open source project, and not a commercial release, what does it matter if there are bugs and whatnot?
