python-elementary missing (also concerning opkg.org)

[Risto H. Kurppa]

Hi!

I tried to install osmupdater from opkg.org (
Trying to run it, I get:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/osmupdater.py", line 2, in
import elementary, os,time, sys
ImportError: No module named elementary

ok, so python-elementary is missing.

I tried to look for it in the repositories and this is the only place
I was able to find it:
http://shr.bearstech.com/shr-testing/ipk/armv4t/ - in the SHR
repositories..

so:
1) Why is it missing from the openmoko repositories? It looks like
that it's been there before (for example this tries to install it from
the repositories: http://www.opkg.org/package_94.html so I take it's
worked at some stage..)
2) is it safe to install the SHR python-elementary
3) is it OK to upload programs to opkg.org that require packages like
this that are not easily available?

Thanks!
