We may do just extras-devel for Harmattan in the future after we migrate

I doubt that. But even if, you wouldn't really want that Midgard stuff, would you?

I think that MeeCatalogue may be good, but it doesn't have many features.. and.. I can't find all the "famous" apps from the Community..

Also Beta app, precisely alerted, may be contained!

It can start from actual repo, and every developer has to insert apps inside, with pictures and descriptions, But MeeCatalogue may present every app like a dedicated page which contains betas and finals, contacts and others..

just my 2 cents...
well, 4, i have both N900 and N9
does it make any sense to mix Fremantle and MeeGo/Harmattan apps ?!?

what about FAM (Faster Application Manager, an apt- front-end)? it does the job pretty well for N900 and it is merely a matter of entering new URLs / repositories

installed MeeCatalog last night but didn't get around to test it out completely yet, though

On-device, absolutely not. That would be shooting yourself in the foot, big time if the libraries get overwritten.

On the repo? No problem. RMO's repo can be made so that we add "harmattan" to the dists list.

As for the original topic, I completely agree that we should try to make an open version of the Store app.

Actually, I think MeeCatalog would be a workable base to try to clone Store. It'd make for a good graphical package manager too (the one in Harmattan is junk!)

thought crossed my mind but i wasn't sure in how far it is possible to have that construct for different releases as well
i started playing around w/ buntu crap and was under the impression that they follow the RPM habit to have different sub-trees for different versions...

catching up here, admittedly, but what is the package manager in Harmattan ?!?

It's completely possible. If you check repository.maemo.org/dists, every OS release has it's own sub-directory.
All that'll need to be done is shove the Harmattan repo into that.
Harmattan packages would sit beside the Maemo ones in /pool, but they would never be referenced by the packages list for Maemo, and vice versa. See how Diablo etc. packages don't get pulled into Fremantle.

Manage applications in Settings. ( I did say graphical package manager, though)
