I've added some additional repositories to my N900. Kitty Kat's N900 is pretty much out of the box. I do not think she will alter hers as much as I will mine. In that regard, I don't believe I will alter mine as much as Ax will alter his.
Over time, we will all compare our N900s. Hopefully opening up to new repositories will not mean a lack of stability of the phone / tablet itself. For those that are interested, my repositories look like this:
mullen:/etc/apt/sources.list.d# cat hildon-application-manager.list
deb https://downloads.maemo.nokia.com/fremantle/ssu/apps/ ./
deb https://downloads.maemo.nokia.com/fremantle/ssu/002 ./
deb https://downloads.maemo.nokia.com/fremantle/ovi/ ./
deb http://repository.maemo.org/extras/ fremantle free non-free
deb http://repository.maemo.org/extras-testing/ fremantle free non-free
Ax's look like this:
$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hildon-application-manager.list
deb https://downloads.maemo.nokia.com/fremantle/ssu/apps/ ./
deb https://downloads.maemo.nokia.com/fremantle/ssu/mr0 ./
deb https://downloads.maemo.nokia.com/fremantle/ovi/ ./
deb http://repository.maemo.org/extras/ fremantle free non-free
deb http://repository.maemo.org/extras/ fremantle free non-free
deb http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel/ fremantle free non-free
deb http://repository.maemo.org/extras-testing/ fremantle free non-free
deb https://downloads.maemo.nokia.com/fremantle/apps/ ./
deb http://repository.maemo.org fremantle/tools free non-free
In case you are wondering how to add repositories to your own N900, there are many tutorials on the web.
I'm pleasantly surprised to see that Nokia has based Maemo on Debian instead of building their own distribution.
ReplyDeleteSo where did you get your N900 from?
777-mobile guy @ ebay
ReplyDeletePrices have come down since I got mine - so it is better value now! The "777-mobile" guy is good with communications, but unfortunately chose FedEx as the courier. FedEx has poor delivery services in Melbourne. I ended up driving over to their dispatch HQ in Derrimut and picking it up personally.
