I wanted to install osso-xterm but noticed that on the repository there is <span id="st" name="st" class="st">no</span> .<span id="st" name="st" class="st">deb</span> package, only sources in .tar.gz.<br>
See for example: <a href="http://repository.maemo.org/pool/chinook/free/o/osso-xterm/" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://repository.maemo.org/pool/chinook/free/o/osso-xterm/</a>
<br></blockquote></div><br>(again I replied directly to Nicolas and forgot to include maemo-developers in the list of recipients)<br><br>This is due to a design decision we have taken, and it looks like it creates some confusion.
<br><br>SDK
repository consists of three parts: SDK, development tools that you can
download to device, and source code for open source packages of OS2008.
Software that exists in OS2008 is not necessarily part of SDK.
Unfortunately the design decision is that all of the different parts
are in the same big package list.
<br><br>osso-xterm is part of the OS2008 image, and that's why the
source package is there. It is not in SDK, and that's why binary
package is not there.<br><br>We are planning to create a division for the content that we now have in SDK repository.
