Atrium City Maemo Mirror
Package repository for the Nokia N900, running Maemo 5 (Fremantle).
A complete mirror of the Fremantle community repositories, plus the Nokia platform layer recovered from archived copies of the original Nokia servers. That layer is the part most surviving mirrors lack, and without it a large share of applications fail to install with missing dependencies.
Add it to your phone
Open this on the device and Application Manager will offer to add the catalogues:
- atriumcity-maemo.install — extras plus the Nokia layer. Use this one.
- atriumcity-maemo-full.install — adds extras-testing and extras-devel.
Or add it by hand
deb http://n900.atrium.city/extras/ fremantle free non-free
deb http://n900.atrium.city/nokia/ fremantle nokiafremantle is the distribution, which is the
codename for Maemo 5. The words after it are components.
Repositories
| Path | Components | Contents |

| nokia/ | nokia | Nokia platform libraries |
Notes
- Plain HTTP only. Maemo 5 ships OpenSSL 0.9.8, which
predates TLS 1.2, with a certificate bundle from 2009. An N900 cannot
fetch over HTTPS. Use
http://. - Unsigned. There is no
Release.gpg, which is normal for Fremantle. Every file here was instead verified against the checksum in its index when the mirror was built. - Roughly 4% of the upstream source served zero-byte files. Those were detected and repaired from other mirrors rather than copied.

Sources
This mirror is assembled from three places, and none of the work of packaging any of it is ours.
| Source | Provided |
|---|---|
| n900.h4ck1ng.me | the bulk of extras, extras-testing and extras-devel |
| maemo.merlin1991.at | replacements for files the primary source served empty, and the Community SSU repositories |
| Internet Archive | the Nokia platform layer, recovered from crawls of the original repository.maemo.org, which has been offline for years |
Roughly 4% of the primary source returned zero-byte files rather than packages. Those were detected by checksum and refetched from the other two, which is the main reason this copy resolves where others do not.
