Although there is already a repository infrastructure for the N900, it has become obsolete in some aspects.

Now there is a Thumb version of CSSU (which I guess many users have) that is built with newer toolchain. Being able to distribute applications for this Maemo flavour is becoming more and more critical.

But as the official infrastructure don't allow to upload applications depending on stuff not available in the autobuilder, this has become a total mess with applications floating around.

I think that OpenRepos could perfectly work as a solution for this issue, providing personal repositories that would allow developers to distribute thumbified applications, or applications that require a newer toolchain or components not available in the official repositories.

Custodian, do you think that it would be possible to enable an instance of OpenRepos for the N900? Even without the Warehouse application (that might work through mecolay) it would be an absolute improvement over current situation.
