Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! My current N900 USB port is getting loose and has to be in just the right position to charge; I've got a backup, but it's not currently loaded with any of my preferred apps. I live in Emacs org-mode, and was seriously dreading having to switch to an Android phone. PS - I still don't (currently) have a lot of free time, but I might be able to squeeze in a few hours every week here and there if you still need help (either sysadmin or programming). PPS - I would really like to keep a mirror of my own for packages. I don't really have a lot of bandwidth, but would like to have a permanent personal backup. Does anybody know the required capacity for a mirror of the repos?
