Dear Maemo Integration Team

I recently had to install Maemo 4.1.2 SDK on an AMD64 computer running
Debian Lenny. As Nokia does not provide official binaries for this
architecture, I made a few tweaks on the installation script
(maemo-scratchbox-install_4.1.2.sh) to force i386 binaries installation
on x86_64 machine.

Although Nokia's installer script is proprietary software, I think you
and other Maemo application developpers should be interested in this
installation method, so I made a patch for the installation script, and
ask you permission to publish it. This patch is attached to this e-mail.

I also wrote an article describing the whole Maemo 4.1.2 SDK
installation process on an AMD64 computer running Debian Lenny using
this method. This article (in french) is available at
http://www.site-sans-nom.org/rc2/info/rsl_20100727_maemo412sdk.html
Section 3 of this article talks about applying my patch, but I have
*NOT* released this patch yet as I do not want to violate Nokia's IP right
on the proprietary installer. My intention is only to help other Maemo
application developpers to quickly install Maemo SDK on the popular
x86_64 architecture.

Please tell me whether you allow me to release this patch or not, as is
or in a modified version.

Best regards, R.S. LEMAIRE
