joergFatPhil: you can use apt-get, apt-cache, dpkg etc. Do NOT use those for updating the system though!12:23

joergsirry for the unbearable syntax (enable-catalogs [COMMAND] <setting-name> )12:40

joergFatPhil: maybe useful:  https://wiki.maemo.org/User:Joerg_rw/tools12:57
joergparticularly https://wiki.maemo.org/User:Joerg_rw/tools#Replace_Nokia_core_repos  and https://wiki.maemo.org/User:Joerg_rw/tools#.22root.22_your_device13:07
joerg>>...and package manager is unsurprisingly pointing to non-existent repos<< that's what https://wiki.maemo.org/User:Joerg_rw/tools#Replace_Nokia_core_repos  deals with, though you also easily can "fix" this in HAM, in the "catalogs" menu13:18

FatPhilwow - thanks for all that, I'll read it more thoroughly when I'm closer to the land of the awake13:25

joerg>>these are .install files for the alternative base repos, meant to get clicked in N900's web browser.<<13:27
joergFatPhil: installing ssh you _need_ to do that on the device display/session/UI, i.e. NOT via a ssh remote login from your arbitrary PC, since it opens a hildon desktop requeter for the password iirc13:31
joergit's a tad of a nobrainer since without ssh installed, you can't remote-login to install ssh ;-D13:33
joerganyway iirc ssh needs to get installed by HAM, nit via apt-get13:35
joergwarfare: there's "__scratchbox_repository='deb http://scratchbox.org/debian/ maemo4-sdk main' " in http://repository.maemo.org/stable/diablo/maemo-scratchbox-install_4.1.2.sh (and most likely others as well). I want to hand over the domain scratchbox.org to "maemo" (you?) :-D14:35

joergi.e. I want to hand this over to maemo.org.              60      IN      SOA     ns.zeropage.net. falk.fourecks.de.14:47
joergnote that scratchbox.org already points to one of maemo's VMs14:48
joergFatPhil: very wall-of-text but shows how enable-catalogs works / is used: http://maemo.cloud-7.de/maemo5/session-log_enable-catalogs_README.txt  note that the line >>IroN900:~# # editing catalogs in HAM, disabling non-standard repos<< means I actually opened HAM and edited the catalogs (repositories) there15:37
joergafter that, >>IroN900:~# apt-cache search dontpanic<< didn't find anything, which is the intended result (extras-devel etc repositories disabled), so I saved this "catalog suite" >>IroN900:~# enable-catalogs save basic<< and switched back to the previously saved "suite" >>IroN900:~# enable-catalogs all<<15:41
