Add temporary mirrors of repo.maemo.org to N900 + Tablets-Dev Mirror + Scratchbox Mir

[binshad]

There have been at least 4 threads with people complaining about how to set things up till repo.maemo.org comes back up.

First things first, repo.maemo.org is down not because Council wants it that way but because there is some DNS issues causing akamai to leech the same content from the new infra; pending these issues being solved with Nokia's cooperation, skeiron.org is available for public usage.

- Index of /repo/repository.maemo.org/

Skeiron is using data from 26/12/12

Using the default App Manager on the N900 (HAM), firstly, disable the repos that are down.

Now next stage is to add new catalogues or repos by clicking on the "New" button in the "Application Catalogues" menu as in "2)" above. Clicking on "New" you would get:
