Anyway, I just uploaded fixed packages to both extras-devel and extras-testing and confirmed that they install and uninstall cleanly on my N900.
Promotion to Diablo extras seems to be working this morning, so PortaBase should also appear there shortly. I'll check that on my N810 once it appears in the repository, but I'm not expecting any problems there (it isn't optified, and hence doesn't need to manage a link in /usr/bin like the N900 version does).
I'm trying to install PortaBase on my N900. Clicking on the install file in file manager results in the following error:
"Unable to download Portabase Application package not found"
Any offers?
Thanks

- You're running the PR1.2 firmware
- You haven't enabled the extras-testing or extras-devel repositories in the application manager
- You downloaded the portabase .deb file to the N900
- You tried to install the file by opening it with the file manager
If the above is all correct, you're using an uncommon method of installing software on the N900, but it should work (just tested it on my N900). Make sure that you've downloaded a .deb file with "armel" in the name and not "i386"; you should have downloaded this file.
If it still isn't working, then either your downloaded file is corrupt (the browser saved it as text, etc.) or something else odd is going on. You can try installing it from the command line, if you're comfortable with that, or you can enable extras-testing and install it directly from the application manager.
Are other people also having trouble installing PortaBase? It only has one vote in extras-testing so far, which is going to make it difficult to promote to extras...

A working version of PortaBase has been in extras-testing for the requisite 10 days, but it still doesn't have enough votes to promote it to extras. If there's anybody using PortaBase from extras-testing who hasn't voted on it yet, could you please either do so or report any problems you've encountered so I can fix them? I'm aware of a few minor bugs in the current code, but nothing so far that seems like a show-stopper for a stable release (the worst one is a seemingly-rare crash that was just reported today and I haven't been able to reproduce yet). I'd like to either promote the existing version or gather enough bug reports that it's worth doing a bug-fix release.

The "package karma" voting links are on the web page for the latest version of a package in extras-testing, which for PortaBase is currently here. For reference, here's more information about extras-testing and the QA process.

PortaBase finally hit the required number of votes in extras-testing and has been promoted to extras. You can get it from the Fremantle download page, or install it directly from the package manager.
