Extras repository has 'mistral', 'scirocco' and 'gregale' distributions. When creating .install files, one of them should be selected for the use with 'repo_deb' variable. Now suppose that we have two applications available in extras repository, but one of them specifies 'mistral' distribution in the install file and the other one specifies 'gregale'. Examples of such applications are mplayer and maemo mapper. Here are the .install files for them from downloads.maemo.org: [install] repo_name = Maemo Extras repo_deb = deb http://repository.maemo.org/extras mistral free non-free repo_deb_3 = deb http://repository.maemo.org/extras bora free non-free package= mplayer [install] repo_name = Maemo Extras repo_deb = deb http://repository.maemo.org/extras gregale free non-free repo_deb_3 = deb http://repository.maemo.org/extras bora free non-free package= maemo-mapper If we try to install both of these applications using .install files to a clean (just reflashed) OS2006, the second application will fail with 'Operation failed' error message because of incompatible repositories specified in .install files. In order to solve this problem, it would be better to agree on the use of the same distribution keyword for all the .install files for extras repository. So either mplayer or maemo mapper .install file is 'wrong' and needs to be fixed. I could find only this official document with a description of .install files for OS2006 and it only mentions 'mistral' distribution: https://stage.maemo.org/svn/maemo/projects/haf/trunk/osso-application-installer/doc/repository.txt Marius, could you (or somebody else from Nokia) update this document to clarify the use of .install files for extras repository? Providing some .install file template recommended for the use with OS2006 and extras repository should be enough. After that we can check all the .install files for OS2006 at downloads.maemo.org and submit bugreports to the corresponding projects with a reference to the updated document. Resolving this issue is quite important for the applications from extras repository which still need (or want) to provide support for OS2006. ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

I believe I have fixed the .install files. Can a 770 user please let me know that click to install is now working for them (private mail will do -- no need to copy the list)?

how to install GPE Calendar?
Hi. This is a stupid question, I'm sure, but how do I download the GPE Calendar to my Nokia 770? I click the click to install button, and it gives me an option to open or download. It doesn't matter what I do here: If I click open, I'm taken to the Application Manager, but I don't see the package listed anywhere there. If I click download, and then open the downloaded file, I also get taken to the App Manager with no further results. What's going on here? Also, how would I go about syncing my Gmail Contacts list with the 770 Contacts list? It seems to show *some* of my Gmail contacts, but not nearly all. Is there some other contact or phone list utility that can sync up with Gmail contacts? Thanks very much for any info!!! -- Dave ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
