Is there anywhere people can house their theme contributions (preferably with a couple of screenshots and relevant modification notes) so others can find and download?
I'm just thinking that I would like to make my themes in batches of three: one with small fonts, one with regular fonts and one with large fonts. By the time you add a couple of features highlight screenshots and one each to demonstrate font size, I'm thinking a couple of themes posts would be image-heavy for this forum.
Or maybe not. I dunno
Oh. Just made a pretty theme based on FunFun4c that has a transparent background clock and enhanced dots and PM/AM fonts applet. Looks nice and discrete against an even non-white background... .
Garage, to start with and hopefully Extras at some point.
The instructions on how to upload an application in the Extras are:
1. Start maemo SDK: 'scratchbox'
2. Change to SDK_PC target: 'sb-conf select SDK_PC'
* Build the i386 version of the package:
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -i
3. Change to SDK_ARM target: sb-conf select SDK_ARM
* Build the ARM version of the package, binary only; no sources (they were built before)
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -B -i
4. If both versions built successfully, then quit scratchbox
5. Go to the directory where the package was built
TIP: This directory is probably inside the Scratchbox tree, e.g.:
/scratchbox/users/<your_name>/home/<your_name>[SIZE="2"]6. Sign the .changes files
~/.ssh/config:
Host garage
HostName garage.maemo.org
User <your_garage_login_name>
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/<your_private_ssh_key>
NOTE
Please use an RSA key for SSH.
8. Upload the ready and signed packages with dput. Please choose the *right upload queue*!
dput mistral-extras *.changes
9. Upon successful upload the prompt will end like this:
Successfully uploaded packages.
Not running dinstall.
10. From this onwards your package is in the hands of the repository admins
11. If your upload was accepted then the package(s) will shortly appear in the extras repository, which you can access by apt-get.
Here are the corresponding lines to /etc/apt/sources.list:
#gregale (2.2) extras
deb http://repository.maemo.org/extras/ scirocco free
deb-src http://repository.maemo.org/extras/ scirocco free
Um... I don't suppose there's just some place on the net that allows screenshots, a good description and somewhere to put a megaupload link
See. That's the problem with allowing code-iphobics like me into your world - I'm overwhelmed by all that and seek a simple, easy, simple, easy, really simple, really easy way. I'm sorry...
yeah, well, extras uploading is pain in the ... at the moment. I recommend using downloads. Also, I hope extras uploading will be easier in the future. I actually do it myself by changing the .changes file manually (putting the MD5 values there) and then running debsign and then uploading them.
