Hello all<br><br>I was now able to resolve my issues with mclock. The problems I had was a combination of bugs, timing misfortunes and misunderstandings ony my side :-) <br><br>Preface: The autobuilder is quite quick in building such a small app as mine. After my upload using the extras-assistant, the files remained in queue for a few minutes and then took another few minutes to build. However, it takes a relatively LONG time to get loaded to the repository (about 1/2 hour).<br>
<br>The first issue was my mistake to assume that once I got the "Build OK" email from autobuilder, the app would be available from the repos quite immediately. I did therefore not properly check the actuality of the app version in the repo before testing from it. I solved this by learning to wait :-) (and using apt-cache show mclock to learn about the version and build currently available)<br>
<br>The second issue seems to be a bug somewhere between py2deb, autobuilder and the uploader to the repos: the build number isn't recognized by the repo loader. Therefore, all my subsequent (increased) builds of version 0.6.0 were ignored by the repo loader, the original 0.6.0 therefore being the one remaining in the repo. This I resolved by increasing the minor version (instead of just the build number). However, this is not the proper way and I want therefore ask Jeremiah and/or the person responsible for the repo loader if they can take a look at the files I uploaded and see if they find an error in my .dsc or .changes file. This would help me fix any bug in py2deb.<br>
<br>(The original issue with wrong package names and version depends was
solved quite quickly - the best way for me was to simply use the package search
interface (<a href="http://maemo.org/packages/">http://maemo.org/packages/</a>) and search for the desired
substring. This will give a list of currently available packages
and their version numbers.)<br>
<br>Current status:You can now get mclock from the fremantle extras-devel repo. Therefore, I'd be glad for any testers. I'd be especially interest to know if the app icon shows up correctly right after the install or if you get the default app icon (blue square). The latter would mean that my postinstall doesn't yet run correctly (gtk-update-icon-cache...). Using the package viewer, you can also take a look at tit under <a href="http://maemo.org/packages/view/mclock/">http://maemo.org/packages/view/mclock/</a><br>
<br>Thanks for bearing with me - it's part of my battle to make simple python development accessible on Maemo to casual Windows-based users without hardcore Linux knowhow :-)<br><br>Best regards<br>-Tom<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

Thanks you both for all the support.<br>
<br>
Unfortunately, from evaluation of your feedbacks, I found out that the information in <a href="http://maemo.org/packages/view/mclock/" target="_blank">http://maemo.org/packages/view/mclock/</a> is outdated and does not reflect the currently uploaded package (build3) but instead still contains the information from an earlier build. The errors mentioned in there were (hopefully) resolved by me in the way you mentioned in build3 which is the most recently uploaded package.<br>
Is there a problem with the queue for loading into fremantle extras-devel repository (taking too long) or is my package so wrong (perhaps a py2deb bug)?<br>
It did however build OK (<a href="https://garage.maemo.org/builder/fremantle/mclock_0.6.0-3/" target="_blank">https://garage.maemo.org/builder/fremantle/mclock_0.6.0-3/</a>)<br>

I will wait for the repository and package view webpage to get updated with the newer build and try again tomorrow.<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
