Re: 3rd party app ppa

 

Developers ought to know that you're working on AppCenter to replace the USC. How about you people use this "Elementary compliant 3rd party PPA" in order to build the future "highlights" section of the AppCenter?

I agree with Mario that we need to solve this ASAP. However I also agree with Cody that we can't be responsible for packaging. We need to figure out an app submission process that puts the responsibility on these 3rd parties

We should only create a ppa and put some rules for it. Every 3rd party developer who wants his app in this ppa should email one of us and then we will review the app quality and approve/disapprove its adding. That's all.

I've foreseen it and registered a blueprint about it a long time ago: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/elementaryos/+spec/non-official-ppas
Sadly, all my attempts to implement it were futile. Good luck with that.

    I wrote almost every third party's debian packaging so that
    would be me maintaining that. I'm up for it, it's just possible
    it could get out of control.

        Cody I mean that every third party developer should be able
        to put his apps in one of our ppa just asking us. We don't
        have to maintain anything. They must have care of them own
        stuffs.

        We need to figure out someway to showcase them, but
        my opinion is that we already have too much to maintain
        without taking on third parties.

            Hi,

            3rd party apps which follow elementary style are
            popping up like mushrooms in the last period. The
            community developed a lot of awesome applications like
            Birdie, Foto, Agenda and many others.

            My idea is to put all of them in one ppa, owned by
            elementary-os launchpad team, in order to have them in
            only one place. In this way I would be able to have a
            better platform where get elementary apps to sponsor in
            AppCenter.

            Moreover a bigger range of users and testers would
            encourage developers to build an elementary app.

            Best regards,
            Mario
