Niwakame: Next update can I suggest some renaming? For a start AOL should probably be called AIM, and I think the MSN should be 'MSN (Haze)' as it was on the N900. That way we can include config for butterfly and pecan so people can have them all available if they wish. DIfferent versions tend to stop working at different times - I had to change over quite a few times on my N900 until things got fixed. Choice is good.
We really should do that in the next version. I agree. Don't know when I will have time for it, but it should be this week.

One other thing about repositories: You can create your own account on OBS and keep sets of packages on there. Has to be from source though I think. I've been trying to get libpurple0 to build on there but haven't had any luck yet. It comes from the pidgin source and that has too many dependencies.
I've applied for OBS, but David hasn't replied to my e-mail for enabling me as a developer, yet.
libpurple0 has a huge bunch of dependencies (I know from the control file I've changed earlier today).

But it still doesn't enable us to use a single .deb to apt-get all the dependencies automatically...at least not through AppsForMeego, that's connected to OBS.

Therefore we still have a three click solution that's not tied closely like as it is here in one thread...if AppsForMeego or any other repo supports shared libs, I'm totally on the train on setting things up to get it easier for end-users.

I'm against setting up multiple repositories as this would lead to fragmentation and nobody would have a clue where to get that package. Enabling multiple repos also brings risks in terms of security.
If we'd have a single community repo that supports these features it'd be best (like extras-testing, devel on N900)
