What, you want people to thank you for adding ANOTHER repo to the mess? Push them to Extras-(devel) if you want to play nice with the community. . . .

http://maemo.org/community/applicati...epository.html

Maybe you could point him to instructions on how do do so?

What's the problem with having another repo ?? You are a little rude at him.

I personnaly thank him to give us the possibility to install GNU Clisp !

Wow, I'm totally going to judge your comment and point out that the poster was just trying to help. I'll also proceed to state that I wish that there was a "no thanks" button so that I could click it. How rude.

Hmm when I add it, it say the repo cannot be found. You do add this line right?

"http://maemo.vivaphp.net/dists/ chinook/" (without quotes).

Let's not have the repo discussion again, we just had that one.
GA's post seems a bit rude but he does have a point.

On the other hand I am thankful for every effort anybody puts in the maemo platform.

I spend a bit of time trying a number of combos in the Application Manager. I ended up going to the site, downloading everything (unsing Free Download Manager in Windows), putting the debs on a SD card, and am currently installing them manually.

Whoa!

Oops, here's a good page to learn how to use (wx)Maxima: http://www.math.psu.edu/glasner

Hmm.. says the super mario war is an incompatible package.. bummer.
