MeeGo Apps/Packaging

Packaging

Apps for MeeGo will import all information from your package in OBS. OBS is master for the data at all times. New to OBS? Please read Getting_started_with_OBS.

For proper looking application entries in Apps, make sure you add the following items:

Screenshots

You can add multiple screenshots to your OBS package. Click on 'Source files' and then 'Add File' to upload files through the webui. If you are using the osc tool to submit to OBS, then you can just 'osc add' the files and commit them in one go.

Make sure the filename ends with screenshot.png.

Example:

testapp1_screenshot.png
intro_screenshot.png
whatever_screenshot.png

There is a good screenshot tool available in 'Store' named 'ScreenCapture'.

Icon

Add a PNG file to your OBS project with filename icon.png. Make sure the resolution of the file is at least 80x80.

Description

Make sure your project description has some meaningful info, as this description will be seen by end users. This is the way to market your application, so spend some time describing your app as detailed as possible.

You can do this on the package page in OBS. Listed under the heading 'Actions', click on 'Edit Package Information'.
