Err... What about the packages (>450) we already have in the community repository ? Nobody came to the Community Repository maintainers, including me, to ask such things. At least, I have not heard of this yet, though, admittedly, I have not been too active recently either. Please do not make the porting too much effort. > One issue is that there is not currently centralized community repository > for Harmattan. We have established one almost a year ago. It has always been mentioned on the frontpage of the Harmattan community wiki.

Why another extra repository ? :o We have been having a Community Repository which can be used. Why yet another ? I would suggest to collaborate more, and fix shortcomings, if needed. > We could also modify apps.formeego client so that it automatically > installs dependency to extras repository. Yes, that should be a simple modification. > I am at the moment working to get Harmattan Qt5 compiling with OBS but > there has been some serious obstacles that I have not yet found answer. Heh, yeah, I can imagine. ;) Working with OBS and half-baked stuff are sometimes not so simple. I had some frustrating times with kdelibs back then, and that was not even half-baked. Although, the Harmattan target on OBS was. :-) > I don't think that Qt5 will be for Ovi applications because Qt5 for > Harmattan will > be as "cummunity supported" and therefore it will be only for > community applications. I do not think we should ignore Ovi and our customers, the phone users. They are more than the hackers and developers around. The only way, how I see this, is to make the client available by default on the firmware. Otherwise the first interface will be Ovi for ordinary users. I would not like to ignore them. I am sure they would not figure out the community route that way.
