EXPECTED OUTCOME: * Going to http://downloads.maemo.org/ should show a "PC" tab next to OS2006, OS2007 and OS2008 to allow the download of non-tablet software such as: * tablet-encode * mediaserv * Nokia Internet Tablet Video Converter * 770Flasher.app * Media Converter * 0xFFFF * Maemo SDK VMware Image * etc. See the attached URL for more details. ACTUAL OUTCOME: * Only software which *runs* on Maemo releases can be added to the downloads site.
Yes, as agreed in maemo-developers. Let's see when Nils has the time. I'm looking at the layout and it seems that we will need to resize buttons to find a place for "PC" to the right of OS2006.
Ok, will draft something up when I can find some time.
Is there any progress on this? Anything I can do to assist?
(In reply to comment #3) > Is there any progress on this? > > Anything I can do to assist? > It is almost done. I'm testing it on our internal test machine. I still need the PC icon for the site and need to make a list of categories we want to support. Feel free to suggest other ones ;) At the moment I have these categories: - Multimedia - Software Development - Synchronization
The categories should probably be as close to the maemo ones. Ones I think are missing from your list: - Flashing/Upgrading/some better term (e.g. pancake's 0xFFFF) - Desktop Environment (e.g. Urho Kontorri's Theme Maker) Thinking ahead, things like noBounds-like software might need to go somewhere. "Remote Control", perhaps? This bridge can be crossed when we get to it if it's easy to add new categories, and there's no conflict with the existing ones.
PC downloads are now available at: https://maemo.org/downloads/PC/ Please test if everything works for you. I have disabled the 'PC' icon, because I'm still testing things before I want to open it to the general public. If everything works OK, I will enable the icon and announce the availability of the new feature.
Thanks. I'll give it a test. One immediate minor niggle is that the <title /> is "maemo.org - PC PC" which looks a bit weird.
Thanks. I'll give it a test. Some comments so far: * The <title /> of the category page is "maemo.org - PC PC" which looks a bit weird. * Adding an application: it's not clear what the distinction between "name" and "title" is when uploading screenshots. Clicking the only toolbar item which might open help opens the Midgard about page, losing all the data entered. * Problem with uploading screenshots: 1) Created an entry for tablet-encode and uploaded http://mediautils.garage.maemo.org/images/gui1.png as the first screenshot with name: gui1, title: "Selecting an image in the GUI" and clicked "Upload image". It seemed to work correctly. 2) Entered name: gui2, title: "Progress reporting in the GUI" and uploaded http://mediautils.garage.maemo.org/images/gui2.png. Thumbnail for first screenshot disappeared, replaced with a small blue box; second image was not seen. 3) No screenshots on resulting entry: https://maemo.org/downloads/product/325f8ffeff1611dcbaea41b18ece57115711/ * Clicking "Click to install" green arrow gives a server error: --------8<-------- Server Error Error 500 maemo.org Mon, 31 Mar 2008 14:34:10 +0300 Apache Stacktrace: 1: /var/cache/midgard/midgard/9-49-31-0.php:0 {main} 2: /var/cache/midgard/midgard/9-49-31-0.php:246 midcom_application::codeinit 3: /usr/share/php/midcom/lib/midcom/application.php:543 midcom_application::_process 4: /usr/share/php/midcom/lib/midcom/application.php:1094 midcom_application::_handle 5: /usr/share/php/midcom/lib/midcom/application.php:1198 midcom_application::generate_error -------->8-------- [from https://maemo.org/downloads/product/raw/325f8ffeff1611dcbaea41b18ece57115711/?get_installfile ]
Now product is created, I tried re-adding the screenshots: 1) First uploaded fine. 2) Second image uploaded fine. Clicked "Save" and the page is now showing the screenshots correctly.
This may be related to the lack of enablement for the "PC" button, but: https://maemo.org/downloads/product/325f8ffeff1611dcbaea41b18ece57115711.html ...has "OS2008" highlighted on the right-hand side navigation and shows an OS2008 tag cloud.

When using the non-guid type url, it works fine. https://maemo.org/downloads/product/PC/tablet-encode/ The problem is that the sidebar has no knowledge of the product's group displayed in the content portion. With guids it can't get it from the url. I'm working on a fix for this.
"Download" statistics should be disabled for non-tablet software (since it won't be in extras(-devel)). Ideally, it would link in download statistics to garage releases if the download URL is a garage.maemo.org one.

We might want to think about the garage statistics as a feature request.

This is now live on maemo.org.
