Thanks Ancelad, it work properly on my N9.
Now I set up a local repository, I want to build a deb package. I already install the meego SDK. I try to use it to build deb, when I install, told me"Invalid installation package", but with dpkg -i it can be install.

could you give some tips to build a deb package?:)

A mirror of Nokias developer pages are here

I after update new N9 RepoMirror I make apt-get dist-upgrade and remove all mp-harmattan-001-pr

What I can restore - reinstall all mp-harmattan-001-pr ?

I have a simple, but probably stupid question:
What is this "mp-harmattan-001-pr" for, what does is do? Do I need to install it?:confused:

Re: N9 RepoMirror: replace "dead" repositories for MeeGo Harmattan

there is no such thing as a stupid question here...
rest easy man..
HOWEVER...
there are questions that merit hilarious responses ...

Too bad your question did not merit such attention ...

Installing the repo ?
well...in a way...yes..I suppose one could call it that.
Rather what is done is putting the exact web address of the repository or repositories in question...into a specific "place" ..usually in maemo terms...
called a "repository catalog"
(I would imagine it isn't much different for Harmattan ...not having used it myself...but it is in the maemo family so I would imagine it follows the same ..)
Where once you have done so ...upon opening your available apps list to download programs..
Magically.. the newly added repo is accessed and there are suddenly programs available from the repository you just put into your repository catalog ...and enabled....

Hope that brief blurb demystifies things for you.

- I would suggest opening your app catalog and there you will see an option to add new repositories.
- Add the required link ..
- enable it.
- close the repo catalog.
- Let your app catalog update itself to include the new available apps..
- Go shopping for new apps
- Endsormeans' your uncle.

Does it work on PR 1.0?
BTW, awesome work, great we can see dev mode again on N9
Edit: it looks like works great on PR 1.0
