Very annoying. I needed to install a couple of packages today to get something urgent done and now I can't.

I think of the maemo.org repositories as an essential service, in a similar way to email and IM. Ie. can live without it but it's quite disruptive when needed and it's down.

Do we need a secondary repository for when repository.maemo.org goes down? Is there one already? Should I consider making a personal mirror ready for next time it's down? (it'll fit into 32GB easily I would think).
