Re: X Terminal
 
janitor of the graveyard?
until no one is using the devices...it isn't a graveyard.
and at worst I prefer ''curator' or 'archivist' ..
I am no janitor.

and as far as when I am gone...that will be when I am dead...or the world falls apart ...[both of which mean I have more time for my devices...]
it is a kind sentiment...I think the same of many who already left long ago from here...it is the way of things...



now....the issue at hand..
to answer the question...

Even before Nokia shut down its repo...
It never ever ever EVER...had anything but a handful of installables

The SDK repo is for what exactly?
It is for working with the files inside the SDK specifically in a sandbox environment for the development of applications FOR the devices.
NOT for direct device usage .

If you are running gregale ...
Then you need gregale repos ...(there are also 3rd party repos you could use but you will have to research which ones you wish to use)
So...
You need for starters...
Gregale Maemo Extras catalog installed in your app man
Then you should have zero freakin problem installing xterm

this is not as complex as you are making it.

I just thought that the official support and repos are down so that way dead - and you know where to dig stuff up, where it is buried. And janitor may not sound fancy, but janitors have secrets. In American Ninja atleast.

Just like the n8x0's...
Official 770 repos and (for the most part) 3rd party repos...
Are just as functional as the n900 repos...
No dead end there.

As far as "janitor" goes...
I know you meant no ill will with the inference Maemish...
However ..
I don't carry a bucket, mop and broom....
Not my job.
The true maintainers of this place ...
The clean up crew ...so to speak ..
Are the Moderators here..
Who do a tireless job of keeping the place ..

Me..
I like to think that ...
I am more akin to "the Librarian" (from The Hilarious House of Frightenstein)
And once I hit my stride at 100+ years old ...will fill the part admirably.
