There should be a separate view where all the new software additions would be
visible, sorted by the appearance date. This way one could see the new
additions from few day ago even after few repository refreshes. (See
maemo.org/downloads -> fresh for example)

Now this enhancement request is in the top 10 of the Bug Jar. And at the same
time the AM is moving to open development. 

Any feature bringing significant UI changes (and this one does, apparently)
needs to hurry in order to make it to Fremantle official, although there is a
git and an svn for all kinds of parallel experimentation.

Marius,any plans todeliver this feature in Fremantle? If not, any
plans/opinions for Harmattan?

This bug is still valid in 4.1.3 (5.2008.43-7) release

WONTFIX for Fremantle (would require excessive changes) according to Nokia.
Patches welcome. Crossing fingers for Harmattan. :-/

WONTFIX, but patches welcome. Does that mean _no_ chance for integration in
Fremantle? . . . Harmattan better be 5.1. :\

I don't know exactly how strict Nokia's guidelines are here, and I don't know
whether we have passed any internal freezes already (e.g. a feature freeze).
It is definitely not planned for Fremantle as this seems to be more complex
than expected.

Comment 13 Andre Klapper 2009-05-05 19:08:04 UTC

So, forwarding an internal comment again here:
"It requires extensive changes in the Application manager, though, since it
would need to start keeping track of when a package was first seen.  I don't
think there is any information in the repositories that could be used to sort
packages by age. (Maybe I am wrong, I would have to check carefully.)"

aptitude ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aptitude_(program) ) already has this
functionality. Maybe you can take a look on it

This is not helpful - completely different codebase.

Where is the code for the Fremantle Application Manager? Is the one available
in the SDK?

I guess the current code is available here:
http://repository.maemo.org/pool/maemo5.0beta/free/h/hildon-application-manager/

Yeah, I know where that code is ;)
I was asking if this code is going to be in the device with Maemo 5 or the code
is far different from the one available in the SDK repository.

It's not very useful start hacking that code if the real Application Manager
bundled in the device is not the same. Just want to be sure before I try
something.

Comment 19 Quim Gil 2009-05-06 22:50:00 UTC

The AM shipped in the beta is the same of the internal releases. The gap now is
few weeks, which shouldn't be that relevant for patches since they are
basically in bugfix mode now.

Yeesh, what have they been doing for the past year, then?

Comment 21 Andre Klapper 2010-06-09 12:24:50 UTC

This is not planned for the Application Manager in Maemo6 (also as some
concepts will change but too early to tell).
