Classic example of arbitrary Nokia decision making. Couldn't just fallback to the no brainer of tagging with lat/lon if network isn't accessible, could you Nokia?

I too was like you when i first got my n900, but impatience got the better of me
but ive not had any problems insyalling from the testing/devel repo's other than using up my rootfs (which seems to be totaly fixed sincr pr1.2) and ive been using them for about 4 months.
My best advice would be to learn to flash your n900 and do regular backups of anything you dont want to loose, that way whatever happens the worst case senario would be a reflash and restore.
You cant do any permanent harm using these repo's other than loosing data, as log as your prepared to reflash you'll be fine, and its something thats well worth learning anyway.

Promotion of apps from -devel to -testing is done when the developer wants to do it, when a dev promotes a package, it is almost immediately available in -testing.
Apps in -testing need to pass the QA testing criteria, 10 votes are needed as well as 10 days in quarintine.
Once the app passes that QA, it goes into Extras.
The same happens for every new app that is developed, and every new version of an app.
I have looked for this page for the footify application but no luck. Which page with documentation should I have read?

That should be the page for footify. Obviously, since I am not the maintainer I can not see if there is a "Promote" button there.

And even though I'm logged in and am the maintainer, I get no Promote button.
Bug? Feature?

Unless there are some automated checks involved now that it is failing. Does it meet the criteria for Extras?

And this is not to get to Extras, this is to get from Extras-devel to Extras-testing. But perhaps the requirements are the same...
