| BigWhale | man! man! http://askubuntu.com/questions/210639/opening-a-gtk-window-that-covers-launcher-and-panel | 18:06 |
| jrgifford | zoopster: interesting idea (re: last email) | 19:55 |
| jrgifford | (to the mailing list) | 19:55 |
| zoopster | jrgifford: yea...that's how it is "supposed" to work, but that process is a bit more cumbersome I do believe. | 19:56 |
| zoopster | jrgifford: and your question about arb help...I think you sent the correct link | 19:56 |
| jrgifford | zoopster: does it have anything to do with the fact we want debian packages? | 19:57 |
| jrgifford | last i checked, the mac app store was a single file - the .app thing. | 19:57 |
| jrgifford | zoopster: ok, thats what I thought. I'll try and poke through the submissions tonight, leave some comments on the requests. | 19:57 |
| zoopster | jrgifford: it has more to do with the need for "proper" debian packages | 19:57 |
| zoopster | jrgifford: there are a lot of packages provided...but if you dig into the comments they are missing items to make them proper packages | 19:58 |
| jrgifford | zoopster: oh, so proper by-the-book-100%-right-no-errors-allowed packages. | 19:58 |
| zoopster | jrgifford: pretty much...proper copyright and such as well | 19:59 |
| jrgifford | ugh. i've done packaging for simple python scripts, and this is pretty difficult. :( | 19:59 |
| jrgifford | particuarly since nobody builds them the same way. mac apps? you can't really build a non-.app mac app. same for windows with .exe. :\ | 20:00 |
| zoopster | jrgifford: it's not real difficult...there is just a lot that you can/could do so it's not obvious in some cases...look at some simple packages in the archive and you'll see it's rather straightforward... debhelper helps a lot | 20:01 |
| zoopster | jrgifford: and you are right...mac/ios apps are simpler as are apk for android | 20:02 |
| zoopster | jrgifford: but apple has the same issue...they have a 2-4 wk minimum review time | 20:02 |
| jrgifford | zoopster: isn't quickly supposed to remove 99% of this pain? i'm not entirely sure if these guys are using quickly or not... | 20:04 |
| zoopster | jrgifford: yes, but some are not and some don't add the proper info to the files even when using quickly | 20:07 |
| jrgifford | zoopster: ok. | 20:23 |
| jrgifford | so perhaps a change in policy, in order to keep it from getting cluttered: If something is wrong, and if it isn't a minor thing (like a single tyop or whatever), then it just gets rejected, with a note saying "please fix A, B, C etc and resubmit" ? | 20:24 |
| jrgifford | from what I understand, thats how the competition does it. | 20:25 |
| jrgifford | granted, they are also dealing with a lot more apps, but they are also able to make effective use of their human resources - which the arb seems to be a little low on. | 20:26 |
| JanC | jrgifford / zoopster : maybe people who want their app included into Ubuntu but who aren't experienced with Ubuntu/Debian packaging can "outsource" packaging to (more experienced) others? | 23:40 |
| JanC | maybe there should be a list somewhere of third parties that can handle packaging (and maybe also proper cross-platform porting) and their "success list" (packages that they successfully prepared) | 23:46 |
