Maemo, the operating system of Nokia N900, has 3 repositories of applications. Repositories are Extras, Extras-Devel, and Extras-Testing and in each are grouped the applications according to their compatibility and the result of the test in Maemo.
Repository Extra.
In the N900 the repository Extras is pre-configured but is not compatible with the current firmware. The user has to allow this repository before use. Extras is a repository where they are applications that are tested properly and compatible, with a perfect functionality.
If you erase this repository you can return to install it. In applications manager we create the catalogue with the following information:
- Catalogue name: Extras
- Web address: http://repository.maemo.org/extras/
- Distribution: fremantle
- Components: free non-free
Also you can do click here on your N900 to install it automatically.
Repository Extra-Testing.
This repository adds manually. Extras-Testing contains the new applications that have not yet been tested and verified.
In applications manager we created the catalog:
- Catalogue name: Extras-Testing
- Web address: http://repository.maemo.org/extras-testing/
- Distribution: fremantle
- Components: free non-free
Also you can do click here on your N900 to install it automatically.
Repository Extra-Devel.
This repository also adds manually. In Extras-Devel we find applications in the early stages of development or version “alpha”. This repository is the least indicated for the end users, since its operation can have too many problems.
To install the repository Extras-Devel we are going to applications manager and created the catalog with the following information:
- Catalogue name: Extras-Devel
- Web address: http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel/
- Distribution: fremantle
- Components: free non-free
Also you can do click here on your N900 to install it automatically.

Hello,
is there a sort of task manager software for maemo5? I’m looking for it a long time now but can’t yet find it. Maybe you have a suggestion?
thank you, with regards Rob

@Rob
It’s running linux so htop is a task manager. I guess you’re from a Windows background so I’d read about it first if I were you.
apt-get install htop
or install it from the application manager
Where can i download this? i cant see it?! were are the files??
