[Scummvm-devel] Release 1.3.0 status - 2011-05-16

[Filippos Karapetis]

I find the current status of the Maemo port to be very confusing.

>From what I see, we never got any proper build scripts / instructions for
this port, and
we place links to downloads.maemo.org. Plus, there doesn't seem to be any
source
code. If this is indeed the situation, I too feel that we should remove the
Maemo
port from our list of official ports, as it violates the GPL, and the people
who build this
clearly don't care to support this port properly.

Regards
Filippos
