I keep wondering why there is no repository app for the Harmattan while the N900 had it by default.
Many of us are missing some great community apps by creating their own repository.
Why isn't there just a default community repository like we used to have it on the N900?

Also, managing and browsing the repositories would be very nice.
Something like we had on the N900 (Faster Application Manager) would be very great!

I can't tell you why there isn't a proper application manager pre-installed, but I think Martin Grimme (author of MediaBox) is working on a community application manager for Harmattan. The delay in the setting up of community repositories seems to be largely due to some douche-like behaviour from the Linux Foundation in response to Nokia's decision to dump MeeGo in February.

A maemo.org repository is out of the question then? We need somewhere that we can put things with dependencies on other packages.

This would be so nice! Reposity mageri is one strong thing on the maemo (N900). I don't know why Nokia is not support own devices.. It feels, that Microsoft devices is more important.. odd..

apps.formeego.org is the maemo.org repository equivalent for the N9. Proper support for dependencies has still to be done, though.

That's good to know. The way I heard it, it seemed more like a wouldn't, than a haven't yet.

This is an open-sourced prototype from a Nokia employee. The apps.formeego.org Harmattan apps client is based on code from this. The prototype exists merely to demonstrate how an apps client could look like and how it installs packages on Harmattan.
