| [16:22] <PaoloRotolo> Hi all! | |
| [16:49] <highvoltage> hi PaoloRotolo | |
| [16:54] <PaoloRotolo> Ehm, sorry, why "https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/gamedevelop/" isn't in Precise Pangoline? | |
| [16:54] <PaoloRotolo> It's a very good app ;) | |
| [17:00] <stgraber> looks like it's a commercial app, so not something the ARB can help with | |
| [17:14] <PaoloRotolo> stgraber, but was it submitted on http://developer.ubuntu.com/ | |
| [17:14] <PaoloRotolo> ? | |
| [17:15] <highvoltage> PaoloRotolo: hey there. there are two groups who vet apps for inclusion in software center for post-release apps. one deals with non-fre apps, and one deals with free apps. the ARB deals with the free apps. | |
| [17:15] <highvoltage> PaoloRotolo: what I suggest you do is check the myapps web interface and see if there's perhaps a feedback request. perhaps they need some more information from you | |
| [17:16] <highvoltage> PaoloRotolo: otherwise it might be best to ask on the web interface to request the status of your application | |
| [17:17] <highvoltage> PaoloRotolo: ah, according to https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/gamedevelop/ it's already available in Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric) | |
| [17:17] <highvoltage> PaoloRotolo: I guess you checked in Precise? You have to submit myapp apps seperately for each Ubuntu release. | |
| [17:17] <PaoloRotolo> highvoltage, Hi, thanks for the help. But "gamedevelop" isn't a my application :) I saw it on this post http://developer.ubuntu.com/2012/05/top-10-ubuntu-app-downloads-for-april-2012/ | |
| [17:18] <PaoloRotolo> because I'm using Precise, it's possible to install it in precise too? | |
| [17:20] <highvoltage> PaoloRotolo: I think it's possible to manually add the right software source for that and install it manually, but I don't think there's anyway to do it from software centre | |
| [17:20] <highvoltage> (not sure if SC sets up auth for no-cost non-free apps, if it does then I guess you can't) | |
| [17:22] <stgraber> you can trick software center into thinking you're on 11.10 | |
| [17:22] <stgraber> SOFTWARE_CENTER_DISTRO_CODENAME=oneiric software-center | |
| [17:22] <stgraber> I can then see gamedevelop in the UI | |
| [17:23] <PaoloRotolo> highvoltage stgraber , ok, thanks a lot :) | |
| [17:24] <PaoloRotolo> and sorry for my bad english: I'm italian :) | |
| [17:24] <highvoltage> PaoloRotolo: try what stgraber said, it should work | |
| [17:26] <PaoloRotolo> highvoltage, stgraber, it works :D Thanks again! | |
| [17:26] <highvoltage> great | |
| [17:29] <PaoloRotolo> BTW, I have already uploaded some apps for the ARB. Now they are in Oneiric and Precise. Why gamedevelop was uploaded only for Oneiric? (it's a free app too) | |
| [17:30] <highvoltage> PaoloRotolo: you don't have to pay for it, but it's a non-free license | |
| [17:33] <highvoltage> PaoloRotolo: see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debian_Free_Software_Guidelines for what we mean when we talk about free software | |
| [17:34] <PaoloRotolo> highvoltage, oh, yes, I know. So only the open-source apps are uploaded from the ARB for all the Ubuntu versions? | |
| [17:35] <highvoltage> PaoloRotolo: usually for the current stable ubuntu version. we try to encourage people to get them into the ubuntu archives as well so that they can be available for future releases | |
| [17:36] <PaoloRotolo> highvoltage, ok I understand, thanks :) | |
| [17:37] <highvoltage> PaoloRotolo: you're welcome | |
| [23:20] <malin> is this app approved soon? https://myapps.developer.ubuntu.com/dev/apps/782/ | |
