I've just started playing around with maemo in scratchbox. So far I've managed to get the maemo environment running in a Xephyr window and have built and run the trivial Hello World app. Before I dig deeper into the development side I was wondering if it is possible to download some of the standard maemo apps into the scratchbox environment (I only have access to contacts and maemopad in the default scratchpad installation).
Do I need to grab sources, compile them and run them using the standard scripts, or can I simply apt-get install debs from maemo.org from within the ARMEL scratchbox session. Can anyone give me some pointers on this or link me to a tutorial or relevant docs? cheers
