This community is perhaps one of the places that Nokia should be paying attention to to gauge the good and bad... right now, more bad than good. A lot of communication happens here that we'd never have with Nokia directly, it seems.
But I'm sure that'll change. If only they were aware of the problems... which at this rate they don't seem too concerned with fixing. Soon enough, things might "fix" themselves.
Or perhaps not. But this place is the place to air out those grievances.

I reckon you're looking at either 27 Dec or 2 Jan before Ferenc returns from vacation and bounces the servers resolving the problem. Seems like only one person manages the maemo.org servers and due to any lack of progress resolving the issue my guess is he's on vacation.
maemo.org and it's management really are beyond a joke.

Pro'ly just a co-inkydink...
In any event all the repo's seemed hosed last night. Now it is down to just the extras repo that unfortunately contains Python 2.5. So if you need Python, or any app that uses it's bindings including Canola2... no soup for you.
The work around is to disable "extras" for the time being and use the repo I copied a few posts up for Canola2.
I just did a re-flash, reloaded my apps and C2 and it worked flawlessly using the repo's (except extras and Py2.5 dependent apps)
BTW, I've reflashed and reloaded now 3 times in the last 24 hours trying to see if it was some kind of conflict between Py and C2... I didn't find any.

If the repos are not fully back by Christmas day then maybe Reggie could post a bold warning right up front on this site. At least that would save the next wave of new owners from wasting their time on Christmas day.
I really don't want to add to the collective whine, but if Nokia was Apple then Steve Jobs would have had somebody killed for this.

If you want to try and get something rolling in the right direction, my best guess would be to call up Nokia Support and complain to them. It's the only way management is likely to pay attention to the problem.
