Hm-m. Can you remind me the usual warning which is given each time in different threads of this forum about extras-devel repository?

For some strange reason it says something about "your own risk" and "be prepared to reflash your device because of untested packages".

And I noted that 90% (or even more) threads in this forum are about packages in 'extra-devel' repository.

What is going on - Maemo 5 is DEB but not RPM, right?
