Hi, In my personal opinion, you can continue using Scratchbox 1.0.1 since it works with that mostly without problems, and if there are problems, there are workarounds for them. For example I have had sometimes a problem that I can't use scp from inside scratchbox, but the solution have been to edit /etc/passwd file inside scratchbox so that you actually copy-paste the your username's line from your host machine's /etc/passwd file and after that it have worked flawlessly. I have been using Scratchbox >1.0 all the time, never used extensively 0.9.8.4. I tried first the older versions, had a problems with them (actually they did not work with my Suse Linux installation back then) but after switching to 1.0.1 (that I run on Ubuntu Breezy) I have never had any problems with the maemo environment other than what I have mentioned above. The versions greater than 1.0 are a lot more convenient to use than the earlier versions, the sb-menu makes life a lot easier, it does everything automatically, even extracts the rootstrap if you place the rootstrap to /scratchbox/packages directory. You said you are a user - ok, but if you would be a developer, development done under newer Scratchbox versions is compatible with the older versions allthough to include the package to the maemo, the integrator may need to rerun the autogen.sh of your package, otherwise there shouldn't be much problems. I do not recommend downgrading your Scratchbox versions since you may run into problems with the downgrade (if you do it wrongly, you may end up having problems to get scratchbox working at all). Safer to keep the version you have now installed. DISCLAIMER: This is my personal opinion based on my experience with Scratchbox 1.0.1 and someone else's opinion may and most likely will differ from that.

After doing so I installed scratchbox 1.0.1 and all went OK. After doing so I started on the installation of maemo and there is a notice that reads... "The current version, maemo 1.0 only supports Scratchbox 0.9.8.4. Using the software with Scratchbox 1.0 may cause troubles, hence we do not recommend it!" Is this still the situation? I assume that if I am going to install this version of scratchbox I should uninstall version 1.0.1 and then install the older version 0.9.8.4 from source? I am not a developer. I am interested to see what Maemo has to offer by trying it out in the scratchbox in anticipation of Nokia's 770 being released soon. Will Maemo be updated to use scratchbox 1.0.1 soon?
