How to call a dependency from Ovi Store?

I made a theme package, that must be activate it with this app in ovi store called "theme settings"
So i would like to know how can i make the dependency call from my theme package when the file is installing.
I tried modifying the control file adding:

Code:

Depends: meegotouchtheme-settings

But when installing it says that couldn't find the dependency.
So i don't know how to point my app installer to installs "theme settings" before it installs itselfs.

Any idea how can i do this?

Re: How to call a dependency from Ovi Store?

There is no such package in Harmattan repositories, so the error is correct. So what are you really trying to install?

Edit: ah now I figured out what you are trying to do. You cannot add depency to packages that are in ovi store. You can only add depencies to Harmattan repo. So your out of luck, you cannot add depency in deb package, if you really want to kludge around, then your have to add some checking into your application if depency has been installed and if not then open the url to ovi store to download the depency.

Re: How to call a dependency from Ovi Store?

It is a must-need app for my theme package, called "theme settings" (http://store.ovi.com/content/300721)
Maybe i express myself wrong and maybe its not called dependency, it is an app that must be installed in the phone to apply my theme deb package.(http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=85554)

What i want is that the installer first install "theme settings" from ovi store before installs my theme.

Re: How to call a dependency from Ovi Store?

yep there is no way to do that. Only way is to kludge your application to check missing depency and open url to download page.

Re: How to call a dependency from Ovi Store?

Since there is no real "app", this is just a theme, what would be the best way to check this? post install script or something?

That is what i want. Check if "theme settings" is installed, so if not installed, it takes the user to the install page in the store or automatically installs

Re: How to call a dependency from Ovi Store?

flotron, you can do something like this:
1. Download Theme settings and put this app to your package, for example: /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads
2. Create a small script with something like this:

Code:

#!/bin/sh



if [ ! -f /path/where is/theme-setting-app/need to be installed ]; then

   echo "Theme setting not installed, trying to install..."

   echo "" | dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/themesetting.deb || echo "failed to install theme setting"

fi



if [ -f /path/where is/theme-setting-app/need to be installed ]

then /path/where is/theme-setting-app/need to be installed

else

    echo "theme-setting-app not installed. exiting..."

    sleep 2

    exit 0

fi

Put this script also to /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads
3. In your postinst script add command to run this script:

Code:

sh /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/my-script.sh

Maybe it will work for you..

Re: How to call a dependency from Ovi Store?

Thank you for your help Schturman but the main idea is to start publishing harmattan themes in Ovi Store and keep themes separated from the "theme runner" that its not developed by me. And for respect to the original developer.

The developer send me an example theme that make this job but i don't understand it, here is the source and de deb file.

This example theme do the job that i want, but i don't know how to apply it to my theme

Code:

#include <MMessageBox>

#include <QFile>

#include <QDBusConnection>

#include <QDBusInterface>

#include "checkerapplication.h"



CheckerApplication::CheckerApplication(int &argc, char **argv) :

    MApplication(argc, argv)

{

    new CheckerApplicationAdaptor(this);

    QDBusConnection connection = QDBusConnection::sessionBus();

    if (!connection.registerService("com.jormas.vesuri.meegotouchtheme-settings-checker")) {

        qWarning("Unable to register D-Bus service com.jormas.vesuri.meegotouchtheme-settings-checker");

    }

    if (!connection.registerObject("/", this)) {

        qWarning("Unable to register D-Bus object at /");

    }



    if (!QFile::exists("/usr/lib/duicontrolpanel/applets/libmeegotouchtheme-settings.so")) {

        MMessageBox *messageBox = new MMessageBox("To take the theme into use, Theme settings needs to be installed from the Store. Would you like to go to the Store now?", M::YesButton | M::NoButton);

        connect(messageBox, SIGNAL(finished(int)), this, SLOT(openStoreIfAccepted(int)));

        messageBox->setSystem(true);

        messageBox->appear(MSceneWindow::DestroyWhenDone);

    } else {

        exit();

    }

}



CheckerApplication::~CheckerApplication()

{

}



void CheckerApplication::openStoreIfAccepted(int dialogResult)

{

    if (dialogResult == MDialog::Accepted) {

        QDBusInterface("com.nokia.OviStoreClient", "/", "com.nokia.OviStoreClient", QDBusConnection::sessionBus()).call("LaunchWithLink", QStringList() << "http://store.ovi.com/content/300721");

    }

    exit();

}

How do you package your themes? Scratchbox?

If yes, untar the sample theme, replace the theme folder with your theme, edit the control and changelog file with your info and then dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot

Re: How to call a dependency from Ovi Store?

i package with this script

Code:

#!/bin/sh



#create .deb files for packages (fremantle&harmattan)



if [ ! $1 ];then

 echo Create .deb files for fremantle and harmattan devices

 echo Usage: make-deb /path/to/package

 exit 0

fi



#step in package directory

chdir "$1"



#versionnumber and packagename from control file

packagename=`grep "Package: " DEBIAN/control | cut -d ' ' -f 2`

versionnumber=`grep "Version: " DEBIAN/control | cut -d ' ' -f 2`



#remove old md5 and digsig sums

rm -f DEBIAN/md5sums 2>/dev/null

rm -f DEBIAN/digsigsums 2>/dev/null



#list all folders except DEBIAN

find | grep -v "./DEBIAN" > ../md5



#get md5 and digsig sums to DEBIAN/

while read line

do

 if [ -f "$line" ]; then

  #cut "./" from beginning

  line=`echo "$line" | cut -c 3-`



  #get md5

  md5sum "$line" >> DEBIAN/md5sums



  #get sha1 for digital signatures

  echo S 15 com.nokia.maemo H 40 `sha1sum "$line" | cut -c -40` R `expr length "$line"` $line >> DEBIAN/digsigsums

 fi

done < "../md5"



#remove temp file list

rm -f ../md5



#package control.tar.gz and data.tar.gz

tar -cvzf ../control.tar.gz -C DEBIAN/ . >/dev/null

tar -cvzf ../data.tar.gz . --exclude=DEBIAN >/dev/null

echo 2.0>../debian-binary



#step outside package folder

cd ..



#create debian archive "package_version.deb"

ar -rcv $packagename"_"$versionnumber.deb debian-binary control.tar.gz data.tar.gz >/dev/null



#remove packaged files

rm -f debian-binary control.tar.gz data.tar.gz 2>/dev/null

I take a look there inside the tar and it seems to be compiled with QT Creator. What happens if i open that folder with QT Creator and modify the name and insert there my theme folder and the compile it? possible?
Sorry if i'm saying silly things here but im trying to learn something:confused:
