<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hi Riku,<BR>
<BR>
Good to know you like Python :)<BR>
<BR>
To answer #1: PyMaemo uses 2 install files because Application<BR>
Manager doesn't support multiple repositories inside a single<BR>
.install. This limitation is to be fixed in the next release.<BR>
<BR>
#2: To upload files to the extras repository you have to follow the<BR>
steps described at:<BR>
<A HREF="http://maemo.org/community/wiki/ExtrasRepository">http://maemo.org/community/wiki/ExtrasRepository</A><BR>
It is not so difficult as it seems, just demands a lot of work :)<BR>
<BR>
Regards,<BR>

Why would that need python support *in* the platform? It should jsut be<BR>
a matter<BR>
of putting ukmp and pymaemo in maemo extras and having a proper install file<BR>
for ukmp.<BR>
<BR>
I see it's not true for now.<BR>
<BR>
1) pymaemo needs clicks on two install files "base repo" and "pymaemo" why?<BR>
2) ukmp does not have a install file, but a .deb. according to<BR>
maintainer uploading<BR>
to extras is "too hard"<BR>
<BR>
^ those are the issues that need fixing, not adding arbitrary bloat[1]<BR>
to the base system.<BR>
Which basically foils down either limits in .install files and/or<BR>
problems with using<BR>
garage. Next time someone is going to write a neat ruby application, it<BR>
needs to be easily<BR>
installable as well, and you can't solve all dependency problems by<BR>
adding everything<BR>
to official(tm) firmware.<BR>
<BR>
[1] I do not mean python specifically, which I actually like.<BR>
