I Updated the guide.
Instructions for people with existing installs: remove the old repository, and add the one that is in the installation guide. Then,
Point your U-Boot to /boot/uImage and hope for the best.

Added an example to guide how to set up persistent MAC-address for wlan.
Not a single comment about the new rootfs, new packages or migration to new repos? Anyone?

Keep up the good work, anyway!

Sorry if I managed to sound impatient. For me the user experience, from installation to basic usage, is now pretty much the same it is for any other (omap) device with Alarm, so I'm eager to hear how it works out for others. I may be somewhat blind to some aspects of use cases and needs of a "regular" user, so I need the feedback to make the base packages perfect, before further focusing on the additional functionality.
To those who follow this thread but are not on #maemo-alternatives, there's already been some interesting tryouts when speaking of extra functionality. Fellow member from our humble channel has been experimenting with Wayland stuff, and I have, well, looked at more traditional options, like this one:

I'm also following and interested, as you know, but I'm having u-boot problems, so as soon as I get the time to sort that out, I'll give it a try and report here.

a) installation procedure is now similar it is for other devices.
b) it eliminates complexity, keeps it simple and gives me more time to focus on what is important.
c) no dependency on Maemo, no need for arm device (or qemu) for chrooting.
d) real distributions have one? Also, in future, I hope my (new) base repo could be included in alarm.
Yes, you can still do the install "old" way, or any other way possible. There is no dependencies to any of my packages or any kernel whatsoever. You are not required to download this, ever.
Yes, this rootfs has the alarm base group from yesterday, added with kernel, firmware and integration from n900-base. It also has the missing dialog package for wifi-menu installed, again, to make it simple and more user friendly.
