I tried to follow some instruction to create an ubuntu repository but itś not work on N900.
Please help me.
Are you certain you need a repository?

You could install rootsh from extras to the device, copy the .debs to the device and use 'sudo gainroot' and 'dpkg -i <package name(s)>' to install the package(s) on device.

This way you can avoid the non-trivial task of setting up a repository. (disclaimer: no I haven't set up a repository, so I'm guessing that it's not trivial)
