I can't believe it!

For more than six months a completely broken repository -- that incidentally barfs up the Holy Application Mangler as well -- has been left undisturbed on the primary Maemo downloads page.

So who exactly manages that download site? The Missing Link?

Link to whatever the hell you're talking about?

The maintainer of the entry. Have you considered contacting that person, or contacting any of the INdT guys on here, #canola, or through email, or contacting X-Fade, or filing a bug in bugzilla?

First thing that sprang to mind was to rant about it here, in the itT General forum, where none of the above are likely to stumble upon it anytime soon?

Good plan!

Link to it? so it infects all the forum noobs? (On second thought, it might teach them not to click on random links. Better than rick-rolling.)

(Oh, BTW, I doubt it causes any problems with the App manager in OS2008. It no longer lets one bad repo stop all progress; you just get an error, and log entries, but everything else proceeds. So you're the only one who really notices it. )

FWIW:

If I go on the Gronmayer site and search for indt I get

[bossa.indt.org.br/carman/repo/release[/url]

edit: url deliberately messed up for the protection of the innocent.

You know, I'm just waiting for july to come. I merely wanted you guys to know that it's still f*cked up. Do with it what you want.
