I seem to be finding that not all applications listed on sites like http://my-maemo.com/software/index.php including:
gftp
Maemo Mapper

are not appearing in either the extras or extras-testing repositories.

for install them you should use:
1. open x-terminal
2. type root or "sudo gainroot" (you need rootsh package installed)
3. type "apt-get update"
4. type "apt-get install nameOfPackage

Please don't.

Both of these packages are currently only available in Extras-devel and are still in an early alpha stage.Wait until they stabilize more before you install them.

Do you mean gftp and Maemo Mapper are still in "extra-devel" or the other packages required to install them?

Actually, where is one to find gdb? It's clearly rattling around somewhere (http://repository.maemo.org/pool/fremantle/free/g/gdb/), but is not in apt-cache with all the maemo and default nokia repos enabled.

Classic example of arbitrary Nokia decision making. Couldn't just fallback to the no brainer of tagging with lat/lon if network isn't accessible, could you Nokia?

Thanks! Seems there's always something yet undiscovered lurking with Maemo. Are these all Nokia-sponsored packages (ie "safe")?

The tools repository was always meant to be accessible from the device. The SDK repo was not, hence their separation.

The documentation has more info.
