Easy debian is a way to run programs from a debian distro, which has been present since the N800, courtesy of Qole.
If you want to try, go see http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=446994 and follow his instructions. When you're ready with your debian installation, you'll be able to use its synaptic package manager to get nicotine from debian repositories.

Feel free to ask for further help if you need!

The ability to use Nicotine had a big impact on my decision to get the N900. After searching around a little I've managed to get some info on the porting progress: http://twitter.com/yerga/status/6598534340
So it's coming. Cheers Yerga!

It's in a very early stage and just the UI, I'll need to connect the UI with the real functions after it (I'm rewriting the UI completely for Maemo). It will take time yet.

If you can live with the "ugly" Desktop UI, simply download Nicotine, extract it to your $HOME and then start it. Make sure to have Python and its GTK+2 bindings installed. You most likely need a stylus, and the UX is less than pleasant, but it provides you with a SoulSeek client until Daniel finishes the Maemo 5 UI

That would do as a temp solution. Can you please give me a step by step howto?
I don't have the bindings installed. Where to get them? Does this procedure also work with Nicotine+?

Actually I think I only tried it with Nicotine+. Here are the rough instructions (from memory, haven't tried it for some months):
  • sudo gainroot
  • apt-get install python-gtk2
  • exit (leave root shell)
  • Download nicotine+-1.2.15.tar.gz from http://www.nicotine-plus.org/
  • tar xzvf nicotine+-1.2.15.tar.gz
  • cd nicotine+-1.2.15
  • python nicotine.py

I would like to add that you have to also install "python-glade2".
so this should be #apt-get install python-gtk2 python-glade2
bye and have fun
