You are asking us to vote or asking us how the promotion process works?

extras-devel doesn't get promoted by voting. Maintainer can promote package to testing, when she/he consider it ready for it. Then, to unlock possibility of promoting to extras, package must get karma of 10 and set time (7 or 14 days, i don't remember) must pass. Then, maintainer can promote package to extras, but this is NOT obligatory.

maintainer can promote - ok
but how?
what I need to do to do that ?

just installed new update, having a problem with the zoom in zoom out icons they're no way near as good as when they were at the right hand side. i keep minimizing it or opening a window, when i want to zoom out otherwise it's brilliant

I've had some problems with svn. Some changes went missing. Now from 0.21-1 should be ok.

There whose request for new icon position in:
https://garage.maemo.org/tracker/ind...2211&atid=7432
what has been done.
but I'm thinking about add possibility to config icon position by user.

THX for feedback !

Hm, I never ever maintained anything, but I suspect that You must be logged as maintainer and looking into package page. If it's really hidden somewhere, please ask user Mentalist Traceur (via PM) - he recently went through this, and surelly have fresh info. He's also very friendly, great guy, so I'm sure he'll gladly answer You with details.

@Estel: ok supper supper but.
I have dependens to:
python-osmgpsmap (>= 0.7.3) [ http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...smap/0.7.3-16/ ]
libosmgpsmap0 (>= 0.7.3) [ http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...map0/0.7.3-14/ ]
I'm a maintained to them but I don't have capabilities to promote them :/

Well, first thing's first: those packages are both in the section "libs". As far as I know you can only manually promote packages that are in one of the "user" sections. So you can promote yosmapa (which it looks like you already did), but not its dependencies. The dependencies of packages not in "user" sections are supposed to auto-promote themselves when the package depending on them gets promoted. (That's how I got iw into extras-testing - I pushed a version of aircrack-ng into extras-testing from extras-devel that had iw as a dependency.)

Your situation - I THINK, I'm not sure - is probably slightly different because there are already versions of libosmgpsmap and python-osmgpsmap in Extras-Testing, and/or it's just a matter of time.

If you look at the "Status:" field for the two packages you linked to, at the time of this writing they are labeled "Package Promoted".

I think this means that when you promoted yosmapa they did get promoted with it, but for some reason the maemo repositories server glitched and hasn't uploaded them yet. Happens sometimes. If it doesn't import in another couple of hours to extras-testing, you can try version-bumping yosmapa and/or the dependencies and re-uploading, as that has helped me get builds of the aircrack-ng package "unstuck" before.

That said, I'm not 100% sure if this is the only issue, but you have taken care of the dependency fields in yosmapa correctly so far, and promoted yosmapa, so I can't think of any other reason for it not working yet, at least out of the issues I've encountered with the repositories thus far.

can port yosmapa to n9 ? i just need the unoffical google maps on n9

Hi,
the idea is really great, anyone can write an application (actually a plugin) without having to rewrite everything from scratch. Very good. Plenty of potential possibilities, I like it and I would use it. Here is some feedback to ver.0.22-1:

1/ installation - the problem of dependent libs still persits. I had to go to devel to have easy install which resulted in upgrade of other non-necessary pkgs.
2/ maps. Where are they stored? I have huge amount of osm tiles and I dont want to reload everything again. Normaly I would expect the tiles at ~/MyDocs/.maps/OpenStreetMap I, however they seem to occupy /opt or /home/user? Do they? And - is there a switch to block loading them?
3/ zoom: I dont understand how everybody here is able to read so small maps - myself I frequently use n900 navigation in a car and I absolutely MUST have a zoom factor 2x .
Thanks for sharing it.
