There are a couple of utilities I'd like on my N900: git-svn and uuid. So I'm going through the same procedure I went through on my N810. apt-get source the package from the Debian repository, dpkg-buildpackage, see what dependencies are missing, apt-get install what I can, and start again for each of the ones I can't, until I can build the original package or I run into a roadblock.

When I ran into roadblocks, it was invaluable when I could find someone else who'd done the work before me and I could just point to their repository. gronmayer.com was especially useful.

But gronmayer.com doesn't seem to have Maemo 5 repositories. Does anyone know of some useful repositories apart from the official ones that I should add to my sources file? Right now, my roadblocks are:

git-svn -> libdbd-sqlite3-perl -> libdbi-perl, fails unit tests
uuid -> php5-dev -> apache2-prefork-dev, complains about shlibtool

By the way, this is my repository:

deb http://apt.exon.name/ fremantle main

Thanks,
Mat
