To distribute an application to a MeeGo device, it should be packaged using the RPM format. (It is possible to manually copy binaries to a device and get them to run, but this is not recommended.)

An RPM file is a binary file consisting of:

  • A signature to verify the origin and integrity of the package
  • Metadata (name, version, architecture, authors etc.)
  • Files to be installed on the destination filesystem (e.g. executables, images, documentation)
