I was told two weeks ago the OVI thing would be fixed.

On power kernel, Niels says he has
1) removed all problematic packages from extras-devel and extras-testing
2) then cleaned package history from the database
3) imported only the latest version back in to extras-testing.

He says you should now be able to push that version to testing or upload newer versions without issues. I hope this fixes things for you.

Confirming that kernel-power v49 is in extras-devel (web interface). Thanks for the help.

Keep your thanks until promotion to (at least) testing

Well, my thanks are for SD69's help/effort, he is not the one to mess with the database, so if promotion is still locked for whatever reason, it is not his fault.

Thanks! I will try to promote kernel-power packages (v49) to extras-testing.

@SD69:

We (Maemo Community) needs more people with access to Extras-* repositories.

For example package rootsh (http://maemo.org/packages/view/rootsh/) version 1.5 which is in Extras has bug in uninstall script. This problem is fixed (and working without problem) in version 1.8 which is only in Extras-devel.

Only maintainer can promote package from Extras-devel to Extras. But maintainer of rootsh is off and nobody can fix this problem.

So in Extras is buggy SW, but fixed in Extras-Devel. I'm sure that there are more buggy packages (which are fixed in devel), but nobody has permission to promote it.

This problem with rootsh SHOULD be fixed ASAP - not in next year (as kernel-power). SD69, what can you do as memeber of Community Council? I'm suggesting (again) that Nokia (or X-Fade?) should add repository permission to Community and NOT only to maintainers of package.

Bug is marked as fixed. Can other people check if Ovi repository is really fixed?

i don't know if there was another Concil (IRC) meeting since the last one i attended (12th of Jan), but i meanwhile noticed that NOKIA store doesn't list the N900 anymore
doesn't mean the repository can't be there anymore, of course (in fact it is still possible to download (OVI) apps deb packages with aptitude download), but, well, not promising

AFAIK the n900 is a end-of-life (EOL) product nowadays so wouldn't expect too much support for it..

my understanding was that as far as support was concerned, the N900 was more or less DOA...
well, on intensive care, maybe
