OK, I will do. I will add (?) to my suggestions as they are untested.

Re: Future of Maemo 5 Fremantle
 

Well thats not a lot 170 GB? is that it?

Re: Future of Maemo 5 Fremantle
 

BTW: debian arm/armel is only 49 GB.... not sure what other catagories we would need (if any) but the whole thing is only 610 GB :D

Re: Future of Maemo 5 Fremantle
 

I would suggest to purge some not critical packages from the list
as all the 3rd party installers, the games stuff as they are not
needed for basic operation. Is there a way to grey them out in the
wiki table?

Re: Future of Maemo 5 Fremantle
 

I do not know, I'm new to wiki. But please do not remove any package from list. You can mark them as 3rd or do not mark Needed for N900

Re: Future of Maemo 5 Fremantle
 

Ok, will let them untouched for now.

Mind you this is from a very old mirror that I did awhile back. It was the size for what it would have used from almost 3 months ago (the last update was sometime around April). Also the usual other rules apply such as the fact it does not contain any downloads.maemo.nokia.com repository, the harmattan-dev repository and any other repositories that I may have missed (which includes repositories like opera, some of the repositories which simply cannot be mirrored via the same tool) and repository like catalogue.tableteer.nokia.com is unusually small.

Still I estimate after one does a full mirror it may only require at most 250GB, and that should in theory include everything, including some of the sources that cannot be obtained easily (those of you whom mirrored some repositories that contained sources which were later on pulled down/out would know what I mean).

Mind you, community developments for N900 is still ongoing so fremantle mirror may end up becoming a fairly large space eater versus the rest of the maemo tablets :)

You could also add free OVI applications:
https://downloads.maemo.nokia.com/fremantle1.2/ovi/

But to be able to download the packages, the patched apt binary is needed. By the way, I think it should be included in CSSU as it fixes a "bug".

Re: Future of Maemo 5 Fremantle
 

sure, report CSSU bug/send patch.
