I have: http://mg.pov.lt/770/reflash.html Useful way to add a bunch of repositories and install a bunch of applications. Works in OS2006.2, I don't know about 2006.1. I wonder if single-click install can be used to add a repository without specifying any packge to install. I also wonder if I can add more than one repository from a single .install file. Some applications depend on packages found in other repositories.

Hi, [hmm, it seems I can't find the earlier posts of this thread, so I'm posting without having read the entire thread.

e.g. if there is a repository bob.example.com/, how about having a .deb that adds the appropriate line to /etc/apt/sources.list for bob.example.com - that way, if I want to add a repository, I can just click on a link in the browser, the package adding the repo gets downloaded and handed off to the application installer, and there you are - the repository has been added, no typing of the repo data. Are you sure you want that? As a user you go to root space. So many sudo rules are available, that one must stop somewhere. Personaly, I'd like to see 770 (and others) the same way as regular unix boxes. Root account, user account, su, permissions... It would be hard to sell, I know, but this is the list, not the store. Finaly, to change sources.list takes less time then send the mail, I hope. Best regards Zoran ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
