Hi list,
I would like to understand how things work exactly in the packages
promoting system of the maemo.org platform from extras-testing to
extras repository.
After reading all related wiki pages on the subject, it seems that a
package can be unlocked for promotion from extras-testing to
So, in case the package never reach 10 positive votes, how package
promotion from extras-testing to extras can be unlocked ?
Cheers,
Jean-Charles

I am using a custom hardware keyboard layout in my N900, which is basically

national characters along with few other chars directly from hw heyboard

Indeed, I own a stuck package :)
I do not want blame the promoting process because I do not have enough
experience on using it and I have no clue how it could be fairly
improved. I just want to make a feedback about it from a developer's
point of view.

I am, in a weird way, happy that people are now complaining about packages
being stuck for 15 days - as bad as it sounds, there were times where most
of the packages spent months in

Hi Dawid,
Qt hildon input context doesn't take in account of CTRL as modifier.
So the keycode is mapped to keysyms (and its corresponding strings) just
considering the SHIFT and Fn modifiers.
That's why Fn + CTRL + H == Fn + H.
I don't see any possible workaround, since there are just 3 levels
Also, I would like to add that when people are unhappy, they tend to
complain (like me today :) ) but when they are happy, they have
nothing to say. This is the way it is and the promoting process do not
take this into account.

Jean-Charles

Hi list,
I've read all of your answers here, from all of you, and I am sorry to
say I still don't get the point of such a complexity. As a developer,
despite the goodwill I can see all around here, I continue to feel
lonely, in front of a big wall with my tiny application.
