Maemo application cannot be "just put in Mer repo" because they need to be built in OpenSUSE Build Service

Maemo application cannot be "just put in Mer repo" because they need to be built in OpenSUSE Build Service and Maemo application sources are full of Scratchbox surprises (See: http://wiki.maemo.org/Mer/Build for the build info)
Once Maemo application is modified to support Mer, it will appear in the Application Manager (When, is of course depending on the developer of each app, or Mer developer who wants to have that app)

Please confirm this for me. So no closed-source Diablo apps will run on Mer (without vendor's involvement)?

I recall previous postings. This is what now confuse(s) me:
"Once Maemo application is modified to support Mer..."
How do you or I modify a closed source Diablo app?

I've just had a couple of VERY frustrating days trying to work out how to drive MER with absolutely no success.
I have tried to do a number of things and had crashes (simple things like rotate the screen, change a theme).
I have tried to add some repositories to try and get some applications that might actually be useful and failed miserably (how the hell do you close the add repository screen to get back to the application installer?).
I see mention of "red-pill mode" but have no idea how to enable it (atleast in mer).
I know this is early software, but seriously, if you want people to help test/develop it.. give us a clue how to install some software we might actually want to use??
Not meant to be a hammer thrown here, just not much I can do to help at the moment, nothing I need is available.
Peter.
