New layout of the KDE PIM Mobile apt repository

[Bjoern Ricks]

Hi,

today I did change the layout of the KDE PIM Mobile apt repository to possibly 
fix update problems with the hildon application manager. It seems that the 
app manager blocks packages provided from a different repository (or even 
section) then the current installed package. The previously choosen layout 
had a top down hierarchy (experimental needed unstable, snapshots included 
experimental and unstable) which caused some conflicts.

Now you have to choose the package update interval (and implicit stability) 
and then pick one of the three sections unstable, experimental or snapshots 
(please take a look at the README [1] for details). Additonally you have to 
select extras that contains some common packages now. In detail if you 
manually added the repository to /etc/apt/sources.list and did choose for 
example experimental your apt line was 

  deb http://files.kolab.org/local/maemo fremantle unstable experimental

With the new layout it must be

  deb http://files.kolab.org/local/maemo fremantle extras experimental

If you used the install files (from 
http://files.kolab.org/local/maemo/install) to add the repository you have to 
change the components in the hildon application manager from

  unstable experimental

to 

  extras experimental

Accordingly for the other two sections:
unstable:
   unstable -> extras unstable
snapshots:
  unstable experimental snapshots -> extras snapshots

If you have further question or this explanation wasn't clear enough feel free 
to send a mail or ask on IRC.

Detailed installation instructions can be found at:

regards,
Bjoern
