Where should we put our ThemeMaker themes contributions?
 

Don't want to completely high-jack the "Show off your screenshots" thread (http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ead.php?t=5014) too much - OK. Maybe too late for that, but... .

Is there anywhere people can house their theme contributions (preferably with a couple of screenshots and relevant modification notes) so others can find and download?

I'm just thinking that I would like to make my themes in batches of three: one with small fonts, one with regular fonts and one with large fonts. By the time you add a couple of features highlight screenshots and one each to demonstrate font size, I'm thinking a couple of themes posts would be image-heavy for this forum.

Or maybe not. I dunno :p

Oh. Just made a pretty theme based on FunFun4c that has a transparent background clock and enhanced dots and PM/AM fonts applet. Looks nice and discrete against an even non-white background... .

Garage, to start with and hopefully Extras at some point.

where ever you host the files, please make the maemo.org/downloads entries as well

The instructions on how to upload an application in the Extras are:

1. Start maemo SDK: 'scratchbox'

2. Change to SDK_PC target: 'sb-conf select SDK_PC'
* Build the i386 version of the package:
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -i

3. Change to SDK_ARM target: sb-conf select SDK_ARM
* Build the ARM version of the package, binary only; no sources (they were built before)

dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -B -i

4. If both versions built successfully, then quit scratchbox

5. Go to the directory where the package was built
TIP: This directory is probably inside the Scratchbox tree, e.g.:
/scratchbox/users/<your_name>/home/<your_name>[SIZE="2"]6. Sign the .changes files

debsign -k<key_id> <i386>.changes
debsign -k<key_id> <armel>.changes

7. Make sure you have the necessary modifications in
/etc/dput.cf:

[gregale-extras]
login = <your_garage_login_name>
fqdn = garage
method = scp
hash = md5
allow_unsigned_uploads = 0
incoming = /var/www/extras/incoming/gregale[/SIZE][bora-extras]
login = <your_garage_login_name>
fqdn = garage
method = scp
hash = md5
allow_unsigned_uploads = 0
incoming = /var/www/extras/incoming/bora

[chinook-extras]
login = <your_garage_login_name>
fqdn = garage
method = scp
hash = md5
allow_unsigned_uploads = 0
incoming = /var/www/extras/incoming/chinook

[sardine-extras]
login = <your_garage_login_name>
fqdn = garage
method = scp
hash = md5
allow_unsigned_uploads = 0
incoming = /var/www/extras/incoming/sardine

~/.ssh/config:
Host garage
HostName garage.maemo.org
User <your_garage_login_name>
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/<your_private_ssh_key>

NOTE

Please use an RSA key for SSH.

8. Upload the ready and signed packages with dput. Please choose the *right upload queue*!

dput mistral-extras *.changes

9. Upon successful upload the prompt will end like this:

Successfully uploaded packages.
Not running dinstall.

10. From this onwards your package is in the hands of the repository admins :)

11. If your upload was accepted then the package(s) will shortly appear in the extras repository, which you can access by apt-get.
Here are the corresponding lines to /etc/apt/sources.list:
#gregale (2.2) extras
deb http://repository.maemo.org/extras/ scirocco free
deb-src http://repository.maemo.org/extras/ scirocco free

#bora (3.x) extras
deb http://repository.maemo.org/extras/ bora free
deb-src http://repository.maemo.org/extras/ bora free

#chinook (4.0) extras
deb http://repository.maemo.org/extras/ chinook free
deb-src http://repository.maemo.org/extras/ chinook free

Um... I don't suppose there's just some place on the net that allows screenshots, a good description and somewhere to put a megaupload link :rolleyes:

See. That's the problem with allowing code-iphobics like me into your world - I'm overwhelmed by all that :eek: and seek a simple, easy, simple, easy, really simple, really easy way. I'm sorry... :D

. . . and, as Konttori said, maemo Downloads.

Re: Where should we put our ThemeMaker themes contributions?
 

yeah, well, extras uploading is pain in the ... at the moment. I recommend using downloads. Also, I hope extras uploading will be easier in the future. I actually do it myself by changing the .changes file manually (putting the MD5 values there) and then running debsign and then uploading them.
