       maemo-sdk - maemo SDK frontend tool

       maemo-sdk [--verbose] [--force] [--index-url] [--quiet] [command]

       maemo-sdk command provides a menu based front-end to all functions and
       services provided by maemo SDK development environment.

       The  programmer  should  use the maemo-sdk command to perform the 
       various operations and resist the temptation to use directly the other
       maemo-* scripts.


       Most commands have one or more sub-commands that are listed  when  high
       level  command  is  selected from the menu or when maemo-sdk is started
       with optional parameter. For example when  typing  'maemo-sdk  install'
       the menu presented is then specific to install command.

       You  can start maemo-sdk without any parameters or you can write one or
       more additional parameters on the command line.

       When started without any parameters the maemo-sdk tools lists  all  the
       available base commands.

       The high level commands and their purpose is:

       install
              [rootstrap] [toolchain] [tools] [binaries] [sbrsh]

              provided by the maemo-sdk is considered to be more valid.


       maemo-sdk

              This starts the command and shows the high level menu.

              would start.
