Ok, I put this off for a while as I didn't have time to respond to questions properly (I still don't actually, so please bear with me) but it's about time we move forward.

So: I've got a temporary signed repository set up, tested it as much as I can on my N800 & N810, and would like to invite some beta testing.

Please only volunteer for this if you accept that these packages come with no warranty and may not be production quality, you have a recent backup and are comfortable reflashing your device.

Note also that this is not the final repository and depending on how testing goes you may have to reflash back to the official 5.2008.43-7 in order to install the "official" community SSU when it arrives (though I will try to avoid that if at all possible).

Unusual configurations (eg bootmenu) and N810W (RX48) owners are particularly welcome, as are people who are willing to review source packages.

If I haven't managed to scare you off yet and you are still reading, PM me and I will reply back tonight with the repository details.

To give you an idea of what to expect (and to avoid repeating the same info in PMs):
  • Make sure you have not (perhaps unintentionally) removed the appropriate osso-software-version-rxXX package for your device, of if you have re-install it as SSU simply won't work without it.
  • You will receive the URL of a .install file. Visit it with microb and open it with application manager when prompted. This will install the repository and an enabler package that loads its public key and sets up the package domain with a higher priority than the nokia-system one so that nokia-system packages can be updated.
  • Refresh the application manager (bottom right button) so it will see the packages in the community-updates domain and offer the update.
  • Install the update.
  • Report any issues here.

Known issue:
If you have -dbg versions of any of the packages in the SSU installed, you will have to uninstall them manually for the update to work. You can re-install updated versions afterwards. Any ideas on how to resolve this are welcome of course.
