MeeGo Community Apps is the repository where open source software created by the MeeGo community can be found. Developers can build their applications on the MeeGo Community OBS, a sophisticated build system. These applications can be published into the end-user facing Apps repository after certain conditions have been met. This project falls under the responsibility of the Community Office. The LF have refused to allow 'apps' in the meego.com namespace; the problem statement tries to explain more.

Accessing Apps

Process

A developer will need to request access to the Community OBS. Once the account has been activated, the developer can create a 'home' project. Inside this project one can build packages against any project(repository) in the OBS. This allows the developer to build an application against the Apps repository and make sure there are no dependency issues or other problems.

Once a developer determines that the application is ready for end-users, the package can be promoted to Apps-testing. The promotion request triggers some automated tests on the package. The Apps-testing repository is intended for stability testing and community QA. If the package meets all promotion criteria, it will be moved to the Apps repository. This makes it available for every end user with a MeeGo device, provided they have enabled the repository in their garage client.
