Folks, let's chill out a bit

Read this tweet: http://twitter.com/JGallo02/status/6535746659

And said that, you can to install applications from that repository with apt-get. I'm not going to say how because is said in many places.

There are a lot of simple games and applications from offscr. What I find more interesting is that they are done with Qt.

sorry my mistake. i know its expected that there are bugs to be iron out.

at first, i was confused as i thought the ovi store is the suite for the pc. found out the store was on the n900 (which still say coming soon on my phone).

OK, could install Solitaire with apt-get install offscr-solitaire. Seems to work great.

I don't know if this changed anything, but before using apt-get I did log into the URL above and tried to download the games from OVI Store - this did start the app manager and did add the OVI repository.

I guess without this the apt-get would not have found the packages.

Earlier in this thread there are manual instructions for adding the OVI repository too.
