janitor of the graveyard?
until no one is using the devices...it isn't a graveyard.
and at worst I prefer ''curator' or 'archivist' ..
I am no janitor.

and as far as when I am gone...that will be when I am dead...or the world falls apart ...[both of which mean I have more time for my devices...]
it is a kind sentiment...I think the same of many who already left long ago from here...it is the way of things...



now....the issue at hand..
to answer the question...

Even before Nokia shut down its repo...
It never ever ever EVER...had anything but a handful of installables

The SDK repo is for what exactly?
It is for working with the files inside the SDK specifically in a sandbox environment for the development of applications FOR the devices.
NOT for direct device usage .

If you are running gregale ...
Then you need gregale repos ...(there are also 3rd party repos you could use but you will have to research which ones you wish to use)
So...
You need for starters...
Gregale Maemo Extras catalog installed in your app man
Then you should have zero freakin problem installing xterm

this is not as complex as you are making it.
