Then we should be careful to state that a given 3rd party application can actually consist of multiple packages. This would be great. > I'm not aware of any technical issues in making extras or surrounds > work - what we are discussing is whether or not compliance will > mandate that every device must support external dependencies for > compliant apps. Right. I don't think we need to discuss the latter. As much as I would like it, we can't tell device vendors that they must enable a community repository on all MeeGo devices and hope to get away with it. We can only hope that the MeeGo community thrives to such a degree that vendors enable Extra / Surrounds by themselves. _______________________________________________ MeeGo-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-dev
