Well, the whole problem with repos and deps is not about the user side but the server side ;) Maemo.org doesn't expose DiffIndex like Debian does but normal Packages and Release (maybe compressed). DiffIndex would greatly reduce download time.
About the storing list of apps on-device... Hmm... In my debian repo, it's ~1 KB per package. Let's assume 1 million apps. It's 1 GB. Much too much. But if only installed apps were added as a repo? Let's assume a user has a maximum of 10.000 apps. It means 10 MB and is acceptable with such a big number of apps. Nokia did a deb-exec field for sources.list and a special adapter. -- Marcin 2013/11/7 Karl Granström <karl.granst...@jolla.com> > Ahoy, > thank you for all the interest in the Harbour.
