Hi everybody,
I'm just trying to get the Application Manager on my N900 to work on a partial local copy of the maemo repo. This means, that I copied the directory structure, the Packages file and a number of ....armel.deb files in their places from repository.maemo.org to a local subdir. I then added a new Application Catalog to the Application Manager, based on the settings of the preset maemo.org catalog, but with a file:///home/user/.... address. This doesn't seem to work, so, does anyone know if there is any possibility to give the Application Manager a local path rather than a http address? As an alternative, is the Application Manager able to keep track of packages installed without it? In this case, it would be possible to

- change into RD mode and use
- sudo gainroot
- dpkg -i .....deb

But, as mentioned, I'd prefer the Application Manager to recognize this afterward rather than installing something, that is not recognized and unmanaged after installation.
Best regards

No one ever tried this (or am I just too confusing ;°)?!?
