Re: Community projects having problems with infrastucture
 

Timo,

I've given you rights on testing squad as requested and posted a message to the mailing list.

May I suggest that people interest in clearing out the queue of packages stuck in testing follow the mailing list. Things tend to get lost amongst all the chit chat on the forum.

Re: Community projects having problems with infrastucture
 

Thanks. I already started going through the packages beginning from the easier cases.

Edit:
there's also a brainstorm entry on the issue which we can still use to figure out a solution for this.

It seems that there is a problem with latest Cleven package. It's not reaching the repository, maybe it's something similar to old KP problems.

second try gave a better error. http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=564

hope it is useful

Re: Community projects having problems with infrastucture
 

A proper bug report assigned to Niels (X-Fade) may be useful to watch and follow.

No need since it seems to be there now.

Re: Community projects having problems with infrastucture
 

Yes, followed the proposal of freemangordon to resend the same package and this time it worked.

Re: Community projects having problems with infrastucture
 

Hi X-Fade,

We have an issue at Maemo.org package interface. Apparently it's not possible to promote applications to Extras if they depend on non-free packages. We have discussed the question in latest Council meeting and agreed that the rule should be avoided. Could you please take a look to it and see if it can be fixed?

This is blocking further improvements to package qt-components for Fremantle. Now that Nokia has granted permission to package Harmattan icons and Nokia Pure fonts, they could be used as dependencies to improve compatibility of Harmattan applications in Fremantle.

Please see original issue at TMO. I have created bug 12630.

Thanks in advance

Re: Community projects having problems with infrastucture
 

Can you elaborate? I thought non-free packages can be promoted at will by the maintainer?

I'm not sure what the issue is, but if it's the disposition of otherwise free packages that depend on non-free ones, it's a big one that should be discussed more widely (preferably on maemo-developers). One option would be to introduce a "contrib" component for those as Debian does.

This for instance is plain wrong (it should be in non-free, according to the content's licence). The free repositories should only contain freely-redistributable packages. If this was done so something that depends on it can also go in free then it's doubly wrong!

I don't see the permission there, just a reference to "previous posts" but there are none in that thread. URL?
