Interesting.  Maybe if I'd tried another time it would have worked?
Instead I immediately changed the preference restarted debugging.

Well, I guess I was wondering if there were specific bugs that you and
Olivier felt blocked a release.  Knowing this could help people who
want to contribute focus their efforts.  I'm doing another Tomboy
release on Monday and when I blog about it, I was planning to mention
the latest progress on Tomdroid.  So if I know what you guys need
maybe I can help by blogging about it.

I agree.  I'm a big fan of release early, release often, especially
when you haven't reached Market-level stability (so the technical
users know not to expect any guarantees).  Also, it's not exactly easy
to set up an Android development environment, so there's a big hurdle
for people to test the latest code in bzr.
