Description Quim Gil (reporter) 2011-08-25 18:03:36 UTC

http://taschenorakel.de/files/michael/miniature_0.3.0-1_armel.deb has been
released in mikhas' personal repository only because in the last minute we
discovered that bugzilla won't accept big attachments... This might be enough
by now in this unstable phase but we need to get a proper Miniature repository
as soon as we aim to grow our audience.

apps.formeego.org will provide infrastructure for community projects just like
ours. Can we agree that this will be the default infrastructure to use? From
there we can push the well proven updates to the Nokia Store and whatever
publishing channels we decide to use in the future.

PS: technical question, if we publish a new version in the same
taschenorakel.de repo, will N9 / N950 users get notified? If not, then this bug
is more urgent since we will effectively restarting our small user base for
every development release.

No, it's just dump webspace, no repo.

packaged it to http://repo.pub.meego.com/home:/timoph/Harmattan/armel/
the obs project for it is
https://build.pub.meego.com/package/show?package=miniature&project=home%3Atimoph

I'd keep this open until apps.formeego.org happens since personally I don't
think obs home projects are a good place to distribute releases.

Comment 3 Quim Gil (reporter) 2011-09-01 19:33:32 UTC

Let's see what comes first, Miniature 0.4 or apps.formeego.org.  :)

Now the plan is to publish 4.0 in the Ovi Store, but specified in more detail
this mean:

- First we do the release somewhere, directly.
- Then we submit the package to the store, which is a process that might take a
period of time we don't control.

So we still need to publish the package for 'our' 0.4 release somewhere that is
not the Ovi Store. And anyway, that store will never be the first destination
since there will always be a gap created by their QA process.

In short: do you think the URL above is good enough to host the 0.4 package?

Comment 4 Timo Härkönen 2011-09-01 19:36:05 UTC

For that setup, yes I think it's enough to have it in that repo.

Proposing for 0.5 - needs to be confirmed.

Comment 6 Quim Gil (reporter) 2011-09-21 00:39:31 UTC

In fact it's not major since now we can use gitorious & Nokia Store for
unstable / stable. Not optimal but not the end of the world either.
