im no longer a heartbroken dissenter, but i still dislike giving good folks hurdles to jump through {e.g.: dont reflash, or else you have to install warehouse}, while making it more or less just as easy for no-good-niks.

In case of reflash you just perform same actions as you done when you bought application

only small beer notice

OpenRepos is a community driven personal repository system for Harmattan and Sailfish operating systems. It provides a repository which can be enabled on your device.

I guess Harmattan just adds some color in the above sentence.

However, Maemo 5 support is right here, on maemo.org

Sorry for going OT.

Brief details what i'm working on.

What have been already added to OpenRepos:

• SailfishOS
  SailfishOS repos are live! If you cannot get to harbour due to storms, you can get some rest here
• Changelogs for packages
  You can now attach change logs to platform packges. Or select 'change autoupdate' option for auto extraction changelogs from deb, rpm, etc.
  If you have multiple versions attached to the same package, higher version changelog will be used. Each platform package have own changelog.
  Changelogs as well as version info will be visible at Warehouse at future releases before you enable repository(install package).
• Rating system
  Multiscale ranking system added. Currently only one scale called 'rating' is enabled. More scales will be added for voting soon(like usability, performance ...)
  Any expectations here?
• Platform filters
  Platform filters to OpenRepos. Select your platform to see available apps. Filters not yet working site-wide, but will do so in a short period of time.
• Some internals
  Bla-bla-bla some internal core changes bla-bla-bla

What is done now and will be deployed soon:

• User vs Lib packages
  By default only user section packages (i.e. no system or core updates) will be visible at Applications and Games.
  Libs/perl-extra/python-extra and non-user packages are excluded from 'avarage user' view and moved into System/Libraries-like categories.
  Same for Warehouse. Special switch at settings page(disabled by default) will let you install nonuser packages, and perform more 'low-level' package activity.
  Packages are going to be resorted based on package category.
  I'm thinking about proper categories which should be used at OpenRepos.
• Application tiles
  I found N9-Apps style of application tile quite suitable for openrepos, so tiles are changed and will show more info about the application: Name, Icon, Publisher, Rating, Category, Quick Install link.
  Tile will be main form of application display within 'last changed', 'top downloads', category, etc.
• Application ratings
  Last updated apps seems boring So moar categories to compete:
  Top week, Top month, New, etc.
• Content flags
  Report system for content abuse, harmful package or merge with other package requests.
• Favorites
  Dont know if it is really needed, but why not?
• Meta repositories
  The idea of openrepos Any user will be able to create own meta repository, and add any applications there.
• Donation support
  Quick bar for donations to publisher. If publisher specifies any options at his profile.
• Beta applications
  Beta packages for application, which are available to close range of users you selected.
  This is first step for paid apps support, and widetest for openrepos copy-protection system.
• Protection system
  Openrepos feature the copy protection system for deb and rpm packages. You dont have to modify your application to get "basic level" protection. Even if package is intercepted(manually downloaded), it cannot be installed on unallowed system. Extra api also will be avilable for devs to get 'activation' information for thier apps.

What is planned for next release(s):

• Paid apps support
  Working hard, but not yet completed. Targeting to finish that stuff before 01.01.2014.
  Currently i'm targeting direct user2publisher paiments without any 'every month invoice' bullshiieet. User buys, you get money with microtransaction. Paypal (and maybe Scrill, ex Moneybookers) on the launch date. All paid apps will can be copy-protected.
  More details will be available asap.

Warehouse client application will be available for sailfish.
Information about changes and updates will be published later at warehouse topic.
