find the application and vote
You can think of it as a crude selection criterion for testers: If you are not able or willing to navigate to the QA site of extras-testing, you probably should not engage in testing anyway - just wait until the app hits extras.

Thread renamed from
When we Expect to have a final & stable rlease of Application which are under ( Extras-Testing & Extras-Devel.) to be uber Extras and to be added in maemo select as well as maemo.org?

Thread also moved to community.

I too was like you when i first got my n900, but impatience got the better of me but ive not had any problems insyalling from the testing/devel repo's other than using up my rootfs (which seems to be totaly fixed sincr pr1.2) and ive been using them for about 4 months.

My best advice would be to learn to flash your n900 and do regular backups of anything you dont want to loose, that way whatever happens the worst case senario would be a reflash and restore.

You cant do any permanent harm using these repo's other than loosing data, as log as your prepared to reflash you'll be fine, and its something thats well worth learning anyway.

Once the app passes that QA, it goes into Extras.
The same happens for every new app that is developed, and every new version of an app.
Could you perhaps supply a link to the page where the developer gets to promote a package from Extras-devel to Extras-testing?

I have looked for this page for the footify application but no luck. Which page with documentation should I have read?

http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...otify/0.0.7-1/

That should be the page for footify. Obviously, since I am not the maintainer I can not see if there is a "Promote" button there.

Thank you. Then it's the same page that I've been looking at.

And even though I'm logged in and am the maintainer, I get no Promote button.

Bug? Feature?

Unless there are some automated checks involved now that it is failing. Does it meet the criteria for Extras?

Before I had the bug tracker link in the control file, I got an angry red square telling me that it was missing. I've looked at the Extras page on the wiki and I can't find what I'm missing, if anything.

And this is not to get to Extras, this is to get from Extras-devel to Extras-testing. But perhaps the requirements are the same...
