It really is a sad commentary on the state of official Openmoko repositories that this question is even asked. The state of affairs *should* be that you just get the application name from opkg.org, and then type "opkg install <name>" on whatever distribution you are running (or select the application name from the GUI installer application on the device) and it installs flawlessly from the official feeds for that distribution. Have we all given up on that scenario (which is commonplace in other community projects) and must resort to even more third-party repositories which do nothing more than mirror bits and pieces of all the existing disparate repositories? Please, let's make this the best site for *finding* new applications and deciding which ones to install, but hook it into the existing repositories and improve them instead of creating yet more repositories to confuse people, become out of date, and cause upgrade nightmares when they are not consistent with the base images ... -- Rod _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
