For security reasons, Application Installer runs under user 'install', so unfortunately (or fortunately :) ) it can't update /etc/apt/sources.list. Also, as 'install' is an ordinary user, no files installed with Application Installer can be suid root. > After that we can have some GUI to browse packages from > repositories... but we should come with a clean solution to mask out > system packages!

Give time some time, I believe it will only be a matter of time before someone (from the Maemo community) releases an AI++ (which installs software on the root directory). (again, AI++ would not be installable via AI, but at least you would only need to gain root access only once) Best regards, Rodrigo _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
