Sorry for the very delayed response. The reason for the phrasing ‘majority of the code’ is two-fold, one is that we had to remove code for integrating with various operators and content partners. The other is that we did not release some older clients, eg for dead platforms such as older Series 60, UIQ etc. We also did not release any web related code.

The released server and clients do work properly end-to-end, you can compile and test run a client directly towards the small OSS server instance that is up and running for this purpose, the build are pre-configured with the correct URLs.

You do not have to use CentOS 4, I recently pushed some changes which makes the server work fine also on CentOS5 and we successfully used it on the RHEL 6 beta, ie it would be easy to also get it to work on a recent Fedora. Ubuntu/gentoo/whatever should also work fine, there are no hard dependencies on the distribution, only on various versions of libraries used.

Regards,
Christian

So we now don’t know which parts are missing and if they are missing whether something else can be plugged in or not. Most wouldn’t want to spend the time and effort getting into the innards of Perl, java, c++, php, python only to find out that having commissioned a new centos 4 machine the missing pieces don’t allow a fully deployable solution.

If you have some insights on what the *missing* or non-open source might be then that would really help in making an informed choice on whether it will be worth the expenditure to peeking under the covers.

Not being ungrateful or anything (thanks to Vodafone for the $30 million gift ) but will the source there currently fly or not??

Cheers,

Sina
