This page needs re-writing

It should outline MeeGo policy in the areas of packaging and should link to support pages covering reference and tutorial material. Don't forget that readers will come from other rpm distros and from deb distros too.

Creating Packages for MeeGo

Packaging Guidelines

Evolving packaging guidelines...

Upstream

MeeGo is an independent distribution : the only upstream is the projects included into MeeGo such as: kernel.org, X.org, Qt, etc. MeeGo policy is to push all bug fixes to upstream projects.

Why not be <your-favourite-distro>-based? Having an upstream distribution has advantages and disadvantages:

  • Advantages: you benefit from all the packaging, QA and maintenance done in the upstream distribution, thus there is a large selection of available ported software.
  • Disadvantages: you have to align your build infrastructure with your upstream. You are dependent on the release cycle and architecture choices of upstream.

MeeGo is tailored for its target devices, which are quite specific.

MeeGo will be Linux Standard Base (LSB) compliant.
