as it stands, if that is correct, it would be great. the issue would be if the nokia repo was shutdown. what would the situation be on mirroring the binary files then? would setting up a new repo accelerate the closure of the nokia repo?
at the moment devs just have to work around them or replace them like for like, but what happens moving forward when a bug/abi or api change/feature request arrises. Flash 10 (sorry, first binary i thought of) is good example. a newer glibc etc may allow a newer version to run, but break another binary. Kernel, may be much easier for pali and freemangordon to manage if we could ship mainline with a much smaller patchset but would mess up how much?
