Hi, While everyone who makes packages for Debian like to see them in Debian Unstable or Ubuntu Universe (modulo proprietary software developers), while there is little activity in Maemo Extras.
That's not surprising, as there is no or little advertisment of Extras in the development documentation. Extras should be clearly labeled as "official unofficial" :) repository. As little as several lines of text in the strategic places: packaging instructions, list of available software, maybe the wiki front page may improve situation a lot. I call it improvement because quite often quickly hacked version of Maemo packages are even released without sources and .diff.gz just because authors don't bother to do so. Establishing some quality standards for the application packages (bugtracking, version tracking etc) would attract more developers to the Maemo (exactly as Debian policies/structure/quality attracted many people). -- JID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list [email protected] https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
