It is not visible in Application Manager because the category is not of the form user/...
But there are other means ...

Ah, that triggered something in the mush that passes for my brain lately: I was in Red pill mode when Carman appeared...

Please don't use Red Pill. Install the appropriate packages with apt-get or wait for the real release.

Thanks for the warning, but I'm a big boy. I'm perfectly aware of the risks associated with Red Pill, and accept them.

I also love to compile my own kernels, and enjoy reflashing Linksys and Asus routers with OpenWRT, DD-WRT, etc.

However, I do understand (I think) at least the intent of your warning was to minimize "newbs" exposure to the hard edge of Application Manager...

Using App. Mgr. is like soldering with boxing gloves and a soldering iron.
Using App. Mgr. in red-pill is like soldering with boxing gloves and a light saber.

someone need to get real apt gui going on maemo then as having to use apt-get on this small a screen becomes bothersome in the long run, even with a proper keyboard...

Good for you, but Red Pill is still a bad plan in Application manager. If you really know what you're doing, then you should just use apt-get.

In a thread filled with eager users wanting to get ahold of a cool new application, dropping Red Pill as the secret answer to get that application is a bad plan. :)
