Also it doesn't contain any harmattan stuff.

If I were to run that mirror script now it would probably tell me there would be another 4+GB worth of downloads to grab minus downloads.maemo.nokia.com and harmattan-dev repositories.

Thanks, should be able to put aside 4-5 TB to back things up, which I guess will easily be enough.

@pali - Haven't got time to look at the scripts today, which repos do they backup?

I'm not creating public backup (and I do not have servers for that). I created backup for my own usage (develop without internet)

But now everyone can use my script to backup anything.

I think we have to find a way to merge with debian armel repository at least
for the free and not nokia modified stuff (apart from optification) this will ensure us:
1) updates and bug fixes
2) security updates
and offload the need to keep terabytes of backed up repositories.
A way to achieve optification on the fly must be developed in this case.
Non free stuff could be slowly phased out as free alternatives will be available
and tested. Obviously the help of more experienced and technically savvy
users is needed to have a minimal chance of success.

All closed packages can be found on:
http://wiki.maemo.org/Fremantle_closed_packages

You can try to find alternatives or update info about packages.

Re: Future of Maemo 5 Fremantle
 
at a first glance I would suggest:

droid fonts as alternative for ui-fonts
fennec as alternative for the browser stuff

osso-sounds-game-chess and osso-sounds-game-mahjong
should be easily replaced by some of our music skilled forum members.

BTW: "cellular service" should be more correct than "celular service"

feel free to edit wiki page

Re: Future of Maemo 5 Fremantle
 
Are there any plans for a community based/supported file server/repo, or are there any in place already?

Would something like this be useful to the community?

EDIT: Which could be synced with debian repos etc space isn't the issue really....depending on how much it is :D
