Hi all, Due to popular demand, I sat down this week with Jeremiah Foster, who explained to me the very quickest way to go about packaging an application. We didn't quite get to "uploading to extras", but going from a .tar.gz to a correct .deb is there.
http://wiki.maemo.org/Maemo_packaging_quick_start_guide I intend this article to be a kind of landing-point for new Maemo developers. It should contact the short path, with a bunch of shortcuts taken, and lots of links to canonical material. Improvements are welcome! Especially as related to: http://wiki.maemo.org/Packaging http://wiki.maemo.org/Maemo_packaging http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/Maemo_5_Developer_Guide/Packaging,_Deploying_and_Distributing http://wiki.maemo.org/Extras http://wiki.maemo.org/Extras-testing http://wiki.maemo.org/Uploading_to_Extras-devel http://wiki.maemo.org/Uploading_to_Extras http://wiki.maemo.org/Developer_FAQ#Extras If we obsolete any of these pages, I'll be happy. If we make it easier to find useful stuff by linking to it from an easy-to-remember-and-reference portal page, I'll be happy. And if this email leads me to discover even more pages which have the same or similar content, even that will make me happy if we can consolidate it all nicely & make it nice & easy for new developers to find correct information on this. Cheers, Dave. -- maemo.org docsmaster Email: dne...@maemo.org Jabber: bo...@jabber.org _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
