  That's not the WebOS source code, that's their hacked version of ALSA (etc.)
  • ori_b 16y ago
    Yes, that's what webos is built from: alsa, the linux kernel, webcore, etc. It's a linux that contains those packages, customized for their hardware. You might as well complain "I wanted a forest, but all I got were a bunch of trees!"

      Well, we also have the base of OSX (Darwin). Does that mean it's useful? NOPE. Because all the core libraries (and aqua) are missing. The packages provided by WebOS are useless too. It's built from a lot more than that. Anyway, it's just some silly rumor masquerading as fact. It's more likely HP will offer something like expressgate, and offer 2 OS's, so that people can use WebOS for basic tasks, and Windows 7 for complex ones (at the cost of greater battery usage).

      So the files there contain everything I need to make a working WebOS build?
