RE: [New Developer]: Questions - Python Packaging / Free or Non-Free / Software Licensing
What people normally do in other projects I'm involved with is that they make the API key a configuration option and pass a sample API key. That way, anyone who uses the application is required to get an API key for the application from the third party, and the developer does not have to worry about his key getting misused. The instructions for installing the app then include details about how each user goes out and gets their own API key. By doing it this way, you don't have keep anything secret and you should be able to upload all the source into free.

However it's not impossible to do secure operations on the N900, they just must be done on the cellular modem, which is perfectly capable to manage keys in a way that is not worse than any other Nokia phone. Obviously as soon as the control comes back to the linux side, anything is possible. But, as I said, it' s just a matter of making it complex enough.

Thank you for the reply, David (and sorry for top-posting). As I said, I am new at this, so I did not see some of these issues before starting development. The points you make are quite valid, and I did not realize that python was distributed as source. That may sound obvious to many, but I am not a s/w person at all. I wonder how independant developers are making use of this API then? It confuses me greatly. FWIW - the application I made provides a simple UI so that a user can enter an airline, and flight number. The app then uses the flightstats.com API to search for the flight's current status. The app provides a list of airlines so that the user does not have to know the airline code. This data is available through their API on a paid basis. For simple widgets, they allow developers to use the API as long as they provide deep links back to their site (for advertising revenue). I am curious now how other application developers use the API key so that it is secure. Would C be a better choice? It sounds as though it may not, since you say that the API key can still be 'found out'. ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

Packaging questions
Im trying to create my first Maemo package and I had a few questions: 1) This package has a main binary, but also has additional binaries/scripts and library files, so do I select 'Multiple binaries' when running dh_make ? 2) I got an error saying it could not find package.orig.tar.gz - what does that mean? 3) The summary dh_make printed said the license was 'blank' ? -- Aj. ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
