One advantage we have is that all the binary blobs are in a separate repository (from Nokia). They're not even at the same physical location last I looked. This will make the mirror/transition rather painless, since we don't have to worry about legality when mirroring most of the content (extras-*, cssu-*, etc).

as it stands, if that is correct, it would be great. the issue would be if the nokia repo was shutdown. what would the situation be on mirroring the binary files then? would setting up a new repo accelerate the closure of the nokia repo?
at the moment devs just have to work around them or replace them like for like, but what happens moving forward when a bug/abi or api change/feature request arrises. Flash 10 (sorry, first binary i thought of) is good example. a newer glibc etc may allow a newer version to run, but break another binary. Kernel, may be much easier for pali and freemangordon to manage if we could ship mainline with a much smaller patchset but would mess up how much?

Still, i don't see sane reason for Nokia to shut down their repos (non-extras) without allowing us to mirror them - that would mean dropping support totally for devices of Nokia's every client, *not* our project. That would mean no N900 users would be able to upgrade to pr 1.3 (or 1.3.1), etc. Shutting down support for such device seems like suicidal move for Nokia - they keep files for devices older 4-6x as much.

thanks for clearing that up. I have the latest firmware files stored in case anyway, as I suspect most around here do for reflashing.

Question for Council:
Nokia OVI apt-repository had changed GPG key and public GPG is not published. Here is reported bug: https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12522 Andre Klapper wrote that maemo bugzilla is not right place. So where to report that bug?? Or can Maemo Council fix this bug (find missing public key and publish it)? Or again - (OVI) another repository problem - and only one persion who can fix it is X-Fade???

Do we have figures about what the workload was in the past for server administration / repo administration?

Git repository is all well and good, but how does that go towards solving the issues we've had with cssu and kp. Before any concrete plans are made, a suitable er.. maintainer management solution needs to be explored, be it on maemo.org or new servers.
