Re: OVI Paid App.
 

there's a "non-free" section in the maemo.org repositories, if you have implemented a payment infrastructure yourself, you could upload it there.

in the meantime, you might want to read these two threads about selling commercial applications through ovi store:
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=34661
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=34783

some of the facts discussed there might be subject to change, as the new Ovi paid app system for Maemo still isn't ready and implemented yet.

Re: OVI Paid App.
 

On maemo garage you are forced to publish the source?

SubCore: How can I upload to maemo.org non-free, I have a garage account and my project have been approved... just adding a new release file would do it or I am missing the point?

TIA,

Cheers,

Nop, you can upload to non-free, but we don't have any paid application there yet, I'll start a discussion about it in order to see the community feelings about that.

IMO with the price added to the package description, I can't see any problem.

Re: OVI Paid App.
 

Allright, can you crash course me how to upload my .deb there... (PM me please)

Following the instructions on the wiki you point me doesn't work... my .deb is simply build with: dpkg-deb -b <package dir>, and work fine with the App. Manager, however there's no need for a .changes... So Im kinda stuck cuz I don't get it...

TIA

Cheers,

This is funny and sad. Right now there is demand for place(repository) where you can easily hit that paypal/whatever method button and download software and register it with your imei code. This kind of page could be made in couple of days :| As sio2interactive has already done.

In a way this is really nice and shows how free this system is because everyone has opportunity to put marketplace up, but Nokia should have already done this.

Use 'dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot' inside scratchbox, files will be created one level below the current dir.

Re: OVI Paid App.
 

yep. it's insane that nokia can't get this fixed. even if they're planning to release a whole new ovi version soon, they should've made a temp fix. I can't understand how this would be such a puzzle for them to solve and implement. or maybe they already have but forgot to mention. Nokia style
