Another newbie question:
With Scratchbox and Xephyr running I can see the basic desktop (with the green PS3 looking background). If I click on Application Manager and and then select catalogues there is a "NEW" button that launches the Add-a-catalogue form.
I've tried adding a repository but it doesn't seem to save it; so now I have a few questions.
1. Should I be able to load a catalogue in the SDK? If so How?
2. Can I hand edit it? I expected that the contents of the
/etc/apt/sources.list
would be loaded here. (I've even used the red pill)
3. Is it wrong for me to expect other applications to be loaded (contacts, calendar, etc) I realize this is a Development environment for our code, but I would assume you could still connect to other repositories just for testing learning purposes.
4. Do I not have the Fremantle Extras loaded correctly? If I go to
http://repository.maemo.org/extras-d...remantle/free/
with my browser I see a pile of apps and libraries. Do I have to explicitly Make and Install these?
Thanks again, I'm feeling a little less lost these days. I'm also quite impressed with the Maemo community, it seems that although it's a lot smaller than Symbian, developers are quite welcoming to new comers and our confused questions.
