I created a local repository to host some test applications for Maemo
fremantle device - and YES, the repository folders are visible to the phone-
Added some packages and ran the "dpkg-scanpackages" utility to generate the
"Package " and "Package.gz" files with no errors.
Check your webserver's error logs. perhaps you only think you did the
right thing and you might see http 404 messages(file not found)
the following is logged to the server's log "access.log" file just after
I click on the .install file :
// installing from the .install file

it fails to get Release.gpg and Release, as they don't exist - i didn't
generate them - , BUT it succeeds to get the package description file
'Packages.gz' , the one i already generated with the scanpackages command.
Nothing more, the phone's App manager didn't even try to access the
actual package ".deb" from the server - although the App Manager tells
me Application Package not found , it didn't even try to look for it on
the server with any given path so the server returns 404 code
_the contents of the Package file :_
Section: base
Priority: optional
Description: Hello World When you need some sunshine, just run this
small program!
Do check if all those files are still in the Pacakges. the
dpkg-scanpackages will remove fields it doesn't know be default(the
Section and icons for example).
I doubt that, looking at Maemo extra repository's 'Packages' file
showed me that things like Section and icons dont exist.
the directory structure of my local repository is :
/var/www/repo/dists/fremantle/free/binary-armel/
so, the url to the package files is :
http://<local-ip>/repo/dists/fremantle/free/binary-armel/
<http://%3clocal-ip%3e/repo/dists/fremantle/free/binary-armel/>
you might want to look a what extra's devel's structure looks like
#source.list
#extras-devel
deb http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel/ fremantle free non-free
deb-src http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel/ fremantle free
but on on the website
http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel/dists/fremantle/free/
notice the "dists" and the location where the Packages file ends up
http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel/dists/fremantle/free/binary-armel/Packages
The thing also is that your package has arch set to "all". but start
looking at your servers logs.
Greetings
I did exactly the same as Maemo extras repository did on my local
reposidtor , the same folder structure
/dists/fremantle/free/binary-armel/
and even i moved my package files to the pool/ directory as extra repo
did, BUT no use!
any help is highly appreciated!
thanx again for your response
