    How big are the repos (testing, devel & extras) anyway?

    At the end of the day do you trust Nokia to do it for you?

    EDIT: This page may help. ("Howto setup local repo")
    Code:
    $ apt-get
    apt 0.7.20.2maemo13.1 for armel compiled on Jan 13 2010 16:38:02

           apt-get [options] install|remove pkg1 [pkg2 ...]
           apt-get [options] source pkg1 [pkg2 ...]

      -qq No output except for errors
      -d  Download only - do NOT install or unpack archives
      -s  No-act. Perform ordering simulation
      -y  Assume Yes to all queries and do not prompt
      -f  Attempt to correct a system with broken dependencies in place
      -m  Attempt to continue if archives are unlocatable
      -u  Show a list of upgraded packages as well
      -b  Build the source package after fetching it
      -V  Show verbose version numbers
      -c=? Read this configuration file
      -o=? Set an arbitrary configuration option, eg -o dir::cache=/tmp
    See the apt-get(8), sources.list(5) and apt.conf(5) manual
    pages for more information and options.

    would be cool to have a proper list of all the repositories. I mean an up to date list. i can find many topics and even some wiki articles about it. but is still struggle about which i should enter and which not.... even more strange it looks like some are working in the original app manager but not in the "faster application manager". everytime i get errors in there but the original app manager everything is fine.

    Some sites these days (it seems maemo.org is one of them) block ping for security reasons, even though they are accessible by other means. This is a shame for troubleshooting.
