Why are you disabling the Ovi repository?

hqh: have been using fapman for around 30 days now. Funny name (as others have noted 
), but...
Fantastic work!
Your work has brought a new lease of life to my N900! Without a doubt this is my favourite N900 app.
I love fapman more than Angry Birds
I no longer dread installing/updating/removing packages/software. The built-in App Manager isn't hard to use (although it won't win any interface design prizes), it's just hard to stay awake long enough to achieve your goals with it. apt-get is great for specific surgery, but we need a GUI to get everyday stuff done.
Faster Application Manager is a massive improvement on the stock App Manager in every way I can think of. As a result I actually do maintain/prune now and my user experience is sleeker, smoother and generally more productive and more fun.
I have no bugs to report yet, and the recent interface update means I now have no interface suggestions either. Please keep developing this (probably Meego will need something similar in the future...?) I have sent you a [very small] token of my appreciation.

@hqh: is there a "hidden" command which can be triggered
from the command line and updates the catalogs (fapman
cache)? i want to use it with alarmed in order to browse offline
new packages from extras-devel etc

Nice names btw...
I'm using bash so I removed the #! from fapt-get though...

@hqh;
Why are you disabling the Ovi repository?
