Add it to your phone

On the device, open Application Manager, then the menu, then Application catalogues, then New. Add these two.

Optional catalogues

Adding others will make the app store incredibly slow, but if you want something out of those (or want to check it out) here's how to do it.

Or from a terminal

deb http://n900.atrium.city/nokia/   fremantle nokia

fremantle is the distribution, which is the codename for Maemo 5.

extras-devel is unstable by design. It is an unfiltered development repository, and installing from it is a well known way to break a working Maemo install. Add it only if you know why you want it.

Repositories

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.

Full setup guide

DEVICE-SETUP.md covers both methods, plus how to confirm the Nokia layer is working.

Sources

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.
