To boost porting & releasing softwares for MeeGo Harmattan : Nokia<br>
Store & Apps ForMeeGo should be only a recommendation as they can't<br>
accept softwares with external dependencies like Maemo.org<br>
repositories.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I don't see anyone saying that's the only way to go. If someone has needs for a device to do an open source application with a purpose of publishing it through the store I would see that as valid reason to ask for a device given that there's enough reason to believe it will actually happen. Same should apply for any other reason for requesting a device. platform hacking, QA, application development, porting Qt5 or whatever.</div>
<div><br></div><div>afaik the external dependency thing in apps.formeego is only a policy issue not a technical thing. So not really an issue just something that needs to be discussed. Actually what is the proper place to discuss things like apps.formeego policy? As I've understood it the goal now is to unify things with it and <a href="http://maemo.org">maemo.org</a> by introducing maemo targets to obs. I'd think this list would be it.</div>

Even a .deb posted in a specific Talk Maemo.org topic should be enough<br>
because it is simple to install.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>IMHO not even close enough. We have repositories and build machinery for a reason. things like ensuring clean build environment, making sure the needed dependencies are there and so on. Besides most of the deb drops in tmo I have seen do not even include a link to the sources so again no. We should be encouraging people to use the proper channels to distribute their stuff (be it the store, apps.formeego or <a href="http://maemo.org">maemo.org</a> repos) not posting links to binary deb packages in tmo.</div>
