I can get scratchbox to install cleanly on my machine, but downloading the SDK itself fails due to the known repo problems. I can adjust the apt sources withing scratchbox itself as a workaround but this gets overwritten when running the SDK installer script

Hello,

Still 'size mismatch' issues as of 12/28.... I would gladly mirror the repositories if they would let me. This is really an anoyance... Since the upgrade the Maemo repositories have been very unstable. If Nokia expects lots of usage for devices delivered at Xmas they have a funny way of showing it... WIth the repositories not working, there is almost no way to install applications.... One failure and people will give up... It took me DAYS to get my applications back after the upgrade and they are not all there yet. I get Squid errors and incomplete downloads.

Best regards,
Edward

I have the same problem with setting up the Chinook SDK and to me it looks like the Thread you pointed out only deals with the problem of installing software on the tablet which thanks to the temporary repository fix works flawlessly.
Any idea how to get the SDK installing?

i managed to install the chinook SDK. i failed before because of the files not being correctly downloaded from the broken repository. if i remember correctly, the following steps were necessary.

- after a failed installation i did remove the scratchbox installation (the /scratchbox dir and the debs on my ubuntu system) and started over again.

- after the successful execution of "maemo-scratchbox-install_4.0.sh", i went into scratchbox and changed the repository entries in /etc/apt/sources.list from "repository.maemo.org" to "stage.maemo.org". to make sure, i did an "apt-get update". you have to do this in *both* targets (change with "sb-menu").

- i edited "maemo-sdk-install_4.0.sh" and changed line 18 to "__url=http://stage.maemo.org/stable/chinook", before i ran the script.

Hello,

Or you can change /etc/hosts and /scratchbox/etc/hosts to include a reference to the temporary ip address. Either method works toget the dev version installed.
