But I would also like to understand more about what "included" might mean. If MeeGo were an ordinary distribution (like Debian, say) then "included" would mean things like: built as part of the distribution, included in the output (repository, CD, ...) of the distribution, supported (at least for bug reporting, possibly for security patches) by the distribution. For most distributions the key thing controlling inclusion is someone offering to provide the packaging and support required.
I was assuming the request was for this level.
But for MeeGo, "included" might mean something different. It might mean, for example, guaranteed to be present on any device which claims to use "MeeGo Vx". Is this going to be true for everything "included" in MeeGo? Or will there be something like Debian's "essential" category: packages guaranteed to be present?
there is this yes; this is a work in progress obviously (like everything else); the architecture diagram on the website is sort of a high level view of this. The idea is that there is a basic set of services/apis that an app can assume to be there, and to be consistent between types of devices. The threshold to be part of this set obviously is a LOT higher, as it should be..... (this set defines pretty much the minimum footprint after all) _______________________________________________ MeeGo-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-dev
