Description Jarmo Tikka (reporter) nokia 2007-08-13 13:46:55 UTC 
Problem discussed in maemo mailing list in maemo packaging documentation.
This is what maemo documentation has to say about sections:
****
(http://maemo.org/development/documentation/how-tos/3-x/howto_making_an_application_package_bora.html) 
The list of predefined subsections and their English names is:
    * user/accessories Accessories
    * user/communication Communication
    * user/games Games
    * user/multimedia Multimedia
    * user/office Office
    * user/other Other
    * user/programming Programming
    * user/support Support
    * user/themes Themes
    * user/tools Tools
****
It defines the software sections, but it doesn't tell what applications is
supposed to go to what section. This should be explained.
Note 1, Sections should match maemo application catalog categories. Catalog
user manual (http://maemo.org/community/application-catalog/user-manual) should
be updated to refer updated sections policy when available.
Note 2, Sections used in Debian are listed here (for example) 
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-archive.html#s-subsections. To avoid
unnecessary patching of packages maemo sections should match as much as
possible debian ones.

Added Eero Tamminen to the report.
Comment 2 Jarmo Tikka (reporter) nokia 2007-08-14 11:28:02 UTC 
Just a comment that instead of sections tags sho0uld be used to categorize
packages. See http://debtags.alioth.debian.org/

Comment 4 Andre Klapper maemo.org 2008-07-18 15:10:09 UTC 
Ah, adding URLs without any further comments. Great. So has this been improved
for 4.1?
Comment 5 Quim Gil nokia 2008-07-19 15:47:11 UTC 
Conveniently updated, this belongs to "Better extras categories and debtags", a
task committed for Sprint2.
Comment 6 Jarmo Tikka (reporter) nokia 2008-08-13 16:28:28 UTC 
This bug seems to be in process already. Just added Marius Vollmer as CC.
Comment 7 Andre Klapper maemo.org 2008-10-30 19:02:26 UTC 
Moving Documentation component from maemo.org to Development Platform since the
bugs there refer to official developer documentation and this falls out of the
responsibility of the community.

Comment 8 Andre Klapper maemo.org 2008-11-04 20:28:49 UTC 
This does not look like high prio to me if that was set 4 months ago.
Correcting.
Comment 9 Jarmo Tikka (reporter) nokia 2008-11-18 12:52:25 UTC 
We are updating Diablo release docs but because there has not been "official"
update for this to maemo packaking policy
http://maemo.org/forrest-images/pdf/maemo-policy.pdf but just discussion and
proposal in maemo wiki
http://wiki.maemo.org/Task:Packaging_policy_proposed_changes we will not fix
this to Diablo documentation.

Bug target milestone changed for Fremantle.

Well, the policy is blocked until the Application Manager is updated ('policy
follows tools'), but that list of categories is finalized for Diablo.

So this could be done now I guess.

This seems to be FIXED in Fremantle?
Comment 13 Quim Gil nokia 2009-10-14 08:50:56 UTC 
Resolving as Fixed in Fremantle.
