There's a new set of programs centered around one 'Samba' available for install via the App Installer. So, I went to www.Samba.org to find out what it is, and it states:
I still don't get it.... My question is does it allow us to print from our 770 or not?
Thanks.

Samba would be more important to the Nokia 770 as a means to mount remote Windows shares. Tools already exist for mounting NFS shares.

Ok so I was having issues refreshing my package list... checked the logs and it was the maemo.org reps that were down. I disabled them and the list refreshed, still none of the dependencies needed to install Samba.
This is what I was worried about with the new pkg based system... either there's some other repository that I don't know about because I've never been to the supporting web page, or they're just not there. Given that you can categorize apps, having multiple repositories for everything isn't the way to go...

This is very interesting indeed. Finally an easy way to access home computers files. Well.. . if the installation would have all the dependencies that is. Hopefully it will have thise tomorrow when the folks at nokia go to worrk again.

Konttori: That's just it, I don't know which repository it's coming from (Well, it's not the maemo.org ones as I disabled them to allow refreshing of the pkg list (they're down and it was buggering up the refresh))

That is stupid that the refresh won't work because one of the reppository is down. I hadn't been able to update since the 10th. I deleted all the reppository except the one you can't delete and it worked. I forgot that we can just disable it. Now ill have to enter them all back in. Why not just have one official reppository for everything.

Well, then who manages it, hosts it, etc. There's a pretty good list on maemo.org, though I agree; it's frustrating that one rep being down will screw up a refresh. Luckily there's the logs you can check to find out which the offending one is.

And I agree, the more repositories the are, the more complicated it is going to be to satisfy dependencies. We shouldn't have to rely on every repository providing all of the dependencies for every application it contains. This is why I think all packagers should be trying to get their packages into one of the official maemo.org repositories.
Thanks.
