This is awful!

I'm a recent n900 convert and since joining I've found the repository situation to be one of the most confusing things about the platform.

Legally, what can we do as a community about this?

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but i was under the impression that some of the apps in that repository were proprietary maemo components that are essential... is it even legal to distribute them ourselves?

In an ideal world, we could just upload the archived repository to maemo.org, and write a clear wiki page explaining what to do.

Hopefully the great work being done by the Fremantle Porting Task Force will mean we soon won't even need the proprietary packages from Nokia, but until then...

Not like that.
Please see attached install files.
Due to forum upload rules I needed to attach a txt suffix.
Download those two files.
Either have a look at the settings and create new repos in HAM on your own.
Or remove the '.txt' and open it with any file manager. HAM will open and install those repos automatically.
For sure you should disable the two obsolete original NOKIA repos in HAM.

Thanks.

--edit
once more corrected, now forgot http at font. Sorry
please check/test and report if now okay (should be, self tested)

Please consider only the new location (maemo.muarf.org)

In these files, "uri" is ok? I think it's supposed to be "url".

Thanks for those, there's an error in the Nokia SSU file though - it has:

Code:
uri = http://mirrors.muarf.org/maemo/apt-mirror/mirror/downloads.maemo.nokia.com/fremantle/appsmirrors.muarf.org/maemo/apt-mirror/mirror/downloads.maemo.nokia.com/fremantle/ssu/mr0/
Should be:

Code:
uri = http://mirrors.muarf.org/maemo/apt-mirror/mirror/downloads.maemo.nokia.com/fremantle/ssu/mr0/
i.e. you had the URI for the other repo in front of the URI for this one.

Thanks for spotting and noticing. But already corrected (attachments exchanged).
Or is there still a mistake?

At the time i posted there was still a mistake in the SSU file, but the other one was fine. I thought you might have fixed one and missed the other!
