NOTE: The community repository described here never really took off. Please use the community repository at opkg.org instead. |
There are many Users Repositories where people can feed software for their Neo smartphones. This diversity makes it sometimes difficult to find the right package for the right distribution. Openmoko Inc. hosts a Community Repository as a central service where independent Neo application developers can release projects, so that installing a new application `just works out of the box'. It is a similar concept to the Universe repository in Ubuntu. The Repository is at:
http://downloads.openmoko.org/repository/Multiverse
This feed is already installed by default in Om 2008.8.
Otherwise, see instructions on the installer page. They involve creating a one line file in the /etc/opkg directory.
Please use the mailing list: http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community-repository . The package manager derives from opkg, so applications should be released as .ipk files.
Packages in Installer are displayed according to Package Tags. To display a package through Installer, add the appropriate tag message.
