Interesting.. Is there an Ovi store server I can simply add to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hildon-application-manager.list?

Why doesn't maemo use /etc/apt/source.list, isn't that the normal convention?

-- edit:

Tried to find the URL in an Ovi .install file, but it appears they use an id instead of a URL...

offscr-electric-beams.install (Ovi store app)

Code:

[install]
catalogues = nokia-ovi-store
package   = offscr-electric-beams

[nokia-ovi-store]
id = ovi
file=variant-catalogues

Facebook.install (regular nokia app)

Code:

[install]
catalogues = nokia-apps
package   = facebook-services

[nokia-apps]
name = Nokia Applications
uri = https://downloads.maemo.nokia.com/fremantle/ssu/apps/
dist = ./

Could this be it (already there)?

Code:

/etc/apt/sources.list.d/hildon-application-manager.list:deb https://downloads.maemo.nokia.com/fremantle/ovi/ ./
