= Welcome to Jiboia =

^Existem algumas superstições sobre as jibóias no Brasil. Em alguns locais, a sua cabeça é cortada e utilizada como colar para "fechar o corpo", ou seja, proteger contra feitiçaria e outros males^ 

Jiboia is a custom Debian package developed by [http://ianlawrence.info Ian Lawrence] which completely 'brands' and configures [http://maemo.org/ Maemo] compatible devices. It is based on a tutorial [http://blog.2blocksaway.com/2007/02/02/customizing-the-nokia-n800-and-770-or-how-to-configure-the-device-for-your-purposes/ Customizing the Nokia N800 (and 770) or how to configure the device for your purposes]. This release - 'MetaHacker - Visiting Port Watson!' , which celebrates [http://oxossi.metareciclagem.org/ Metareciclagems] participation in the [http://bricolabs.info Bricolabs] network, replaces the default Nokia N800 audio and video that comes with the device with content from [http://estudiolivre.org/tiki-index.php Estudiolivre], replaces the background with a mock-up done for the [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EmbeddedUbuntu Ubuntu Embedded] project, installs [http://kilikali.garage.maemo.org/ kilikali ogg support] and changes the shutdown sound. 

To use .deb on N800 (not tested (as I do not have a N800)):
 1. [http://maemo.org/community/wiki/howto_flashlatestnokiaimagewithlinux/ Reflash] your device 
 2. Copy [http://jiboia.net/overview/jiboia/jiboia.deb jiboia.deb] (right click to download) to the MMC card
 3. In the file manager on the device double click to install
 4. When it says INSTALLED SUCCESSFULLY, reboot the device
 5. The boot status loader will go to the end and then stop, after a few seconds the device will reboot and the custom settings are 
    installed
 6. Enjoy! [[BR]]

To use .deb in SDK (for a tutorial on installing scratchbox/sdk on ubuntu feisty go [http://ianlawrence.info/random-stuff/maemo-3-1-bora-on-ubuntu-feisty here]) :
 1. [http://jiboia.net/overview/jiboia/jiboia.tar.gz Download] the jiboia tar.gz or the ready made [http://jiboia.net/overview/jiboia/jiboia.deb deb] (If you want to roll your own jiboia first read the [http://blog.2blocksaway.com/2007/02/02/customizing-the-nokia-n800-and-770-or-how-to-configure-the-device-for-your-purposes/ tutorial] and then [http://jiboia.net/overview/jiboia/user-800.tar.gz download] the vanilla N800 user directory to customize.) 
 2. Make the deb in system (I use Ubuntu Feisty) home directory like this
{{{
fakeroot dpkg -b jiboia jiboia.deb
}}}

 3. Copy the deb like this to scratchbox:
    
{{{
vern@N800-hacker:/home/vern# cp jiboia.deb /scratchbox/users/vern/home/vern/
}}}

 4. Create symbolic link from scratchbox user home directory to new customized home directory e.g
    
{{{
[sbox-SDK_ARMEL: ~] >ln -s vern user
}}}

    (This way any script that uses the hard-coded path ‘/home/user’ will actually use your scratchbox home directory through the link and gets around permission denied problems)
 5. Install the deb:
    
{{{
[sbox-SDK_ARMEL: ~] > fakeroot dpkg -i jiboia.deb
}}}


== Known Issues ==

 1. Can only install simple debs without dependencies. Jiboia installs applications using dpkg and so needs to install application dependencies in the correct order. This is hard to work out in advance.
