In their defense (shocking coming from me, I know...), it's exactly
this kind of nightmare they're trying to prevent. By making people use
the official repositories instead of putting things in their personal
servers all over the Internet, it will make things easier to find and
hopefully more reliable.
I know Mark... I fully agree with the discipline of unifying repos in Maemo main server... but if that means that they're going to judge which software is "convenient" or not... then it's not so interesting...
In Debian repos you can find everything: free, non-free, restricted or anything. Without any kind of censorship... I stopped using SuSE because of this censorship...
Maemo is based on Debian not on SuSE... I hope...
Nevertheless I'm frustrated because of the community not for my individual case...
In fact, I've already downloaded kismet from a private repo, and now that I do NOT trust Maemo anymore... I'm storing my own repo site, collecting the deb packages for my 770 and anyone who cares about freedom of use and continued service (what kind of service are we receiving from Nokia as Maemo users?... we're supposed to be customers!)
Salut,
Sebas.
