The grand IPK sharing thread

Hi
As there's a lot of free apps for Palm Pres and HP Touchpads. Unfortunately, not everyone of us (including me) can afford a Touchpad and Pres are not available in every country. With WebOS it's not that easy as with Maemo: it's hard to get apps w/o the device.
Therefore I make this thread. I'd like it to work just like the absolutepunk.net b-sides thread.
Rules:

Only free apps (so we won't break the law)
Only PDK (C/C++) apps (exception: porting)
[REQUIRED] You have to mention the download page on developer.palm.com!
If possible, use .ipk or .tar.* (for example .tar.gz) - zip may be causing problems (Segmentation fault)
Please preserve the layout when adding, as in example [below]

Example entry

Code:

Name: Sample app (com.dev.app.sample)

Version: 1.2.0

Platform: Pre

Keyboard mapping: optional

Keyboard mapping presets: no

Download: http://where/the/file/is

Explanations of fields:
Name: here put the human readable name and the name used by ipk
Platform: Pre/Touchpad (indicates whether libsdlpre-tab.so is required)
Keyboard mapping: yes (required) / optional (useful) / no (unneeded)
Keyboard mapping presets aka gconf sh script: If possible, please provide the keyboard mapping script.
Download: where the ipk is uploaded

How to grab ipks: http://touchpadfans.blogspot.com/201...d-from-hp.html
http://forum.mobilism.org/viewtopic.php?f=567&t=141427
http://www.webosbuzz.com/content/176...bos-phone.html

Suggested servers: these give good download speed:
1) MediaFire.com (advised)
2) 4shared.com
3) ifolder.ru/narod.ru
Please do not upload to those:
1) rapidshare.com (very slow)
2) turbobit.net (unsupported by JDownloader)

Re: The grand IPK sharing thread

Why pointing out "Only free apps (so we won't break the law)", when you directly link to Buzz and Mobilism? Link to FuzzyPalm and 115pda too, then everything is complete.

Re: The grand IPK sharing thread

I've just found some tutorials how to do it.
Uploading and sharing links to paid apps would break the forum's rules.
If you've got some better tutorials or on better sites, go on, show me those.

So I have to say that only free apps.

Re: The grand IPK sharing thread

Wouldn't it be better to update the Wiki? http://wiki.maemo.org/Preenv

And out of interest, what makes this thread "grand"?

I don't think so. There's a lot of free apps for WebOS, and I don't know any way of downloading this without the HP App Catalog if you're in an unsupported country, such as Poland

I hope it'll become a total place of exchange of free apps, as the absolutepunk.net b-sides thread is a total place of exchanging b-sides

==================

ALRIGHT, let's start doing what this thread is for :D

Has anybody got the free Angry Birds HD (for Touchpad)?
https://developer.palm.com/appredire...o.angrybirdshd

Thanks in advance

Re: The grand IPK sharing thread

Beware that these files might be free of charge, but that doesn't mean you are free to distribute them, so I would suggest to close this thread and eliminate those links before we receive any C&D from HP or the legally owners of the software.

Re: The grand IPK sharing thread

OK, thanks. I'll make sure there will be no problems and then maybe this thread will be revived.

Re: The grand IPK sharing thread

If you contain all info that is shown on dl page in webos you should be covered. At least 99% free lincenses allow redistribution as long as no modification took place and you provide same info as was available on orig dl.

I think the uploading should be temporarily frozen and we should discuss the guidelines so we wont have any problems.
I'll ask an acquaintance lawyer about it tomorrow and will post what she says
