Yes, that is probably a good idea.  MUD does intend is to put all the packages 
it builds into a central repository (so we won't need personal repositories 
for packages which MUD knows how to build).  However, that part of MUD is 
proceeding slowly -- so far it is just a convenient way to build packages.  
For example, I am using it to automatically do a daily build of GPE for Maemo 
from the latest SVN each night (separate from the "stable" packages I 
announced here -- see http://www.cobb.uk.net/770/daily.html).

So, we probably should update the catalogue.

That is one of the goals of MUD.  MUD is supposed to build each package 
against each SDK and upload to the relevant repository.  However, that is 
part of the process which is not working yet.  If you have the relevant SDK 
installed in a scratchbox environment somewhere it is very easy to use MUD to 
build using it (I only have one SDK installed which is why I have only 
produced one set of packages).

They work for me but it would be good to get some more reports.  We had one 
report that they worked initially on the N800 but were "unstable" (no 
details) -- more testing against the N800 would be particularly welcome.

Any reason not to commit the patch to SVN (once you find it)?  If it is in SVN 
I can easily create a MUD package for it and build it.
