I'd add here also testing for: - install, remove & re-install package (maybe also upgrade) - run lintian on the packages (outside of sbox) and fix relevant reported packaging issues: lintian *.deb - test the software when run under Valgrind to see whether that reports any memory handling issues: fakeroot apt-get install valgrind maemo-debug scripts run-with-memcheck (relevant for C & C++ code, not for interpreted stuff) - Eero ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

Like in Bugzilla, there are people who will rename or move pages, add correct categories and so on for your page if you put it in the "wrong" place - please don't be afraid to munge the main pages. For the packaging howto, there is already http://wiki.maemo.org/Maemo_packaging - this would be an ideal sub-page (or addition/edition) to that.

Yes, I do think it would be good to put it in the main namespace, but right now I'm sort of ramping myself up to where everything is and how it is all set up. I didn't want to munge up the main pages yet. ;) Writing this up is a learning experience for me as I go through the process. That said, it's a wiki so feel free to cut & paste my page into a new page or augment an existing page. That was done as the base for this page, for example: http://wiki.maemo.org/Phone_control Thanks, -Jeff ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
