Hello everybody, we just had a brief call about review requirements for click packages. What was discussed was based on the plan to open the appstore for alpha use soon and earlier discussions, mostly:
- https://lists.launchpad.net/ubuntu-appstore-developers/msg00096.html (very early on, ideas based on other review processes we had in place in the past) - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AppStore/Decisions/ReviewRequirements Here's a brief summary of what was discussed: - Alpha stage will help learning more about what we might want to check and automate. - There should be a click-lint tool, which could be run client- and server-side. - This tool could check the security bits (needs input from security team who already started work on a lint tool for this). - In terms of namespace checks, this tool could check `bzr launchpad-login` and see if it matches. - On the server-end we could probably auto-whitelist net.launchpad.user.* namespace entries. - Client installation tools (app scope) should have landed (in semi-final form) at end of August. - Question: How easy will app updates for the submitter be? Currently: fill out same form again. Would be nice if this was easier. - Question: Who can review apps? Just app submitter and review team. - Question: Do we have URLs already? Not in production yet. - Question: Will we have howto videos? Martin wanted to look into this. - Observation: The more security permissions are going to be requested, the more work it's going to be for the review team to make sure what the app wants to do. - TODO: Collect list of people who want to help out with apps review during the very early non-automated stage. Raise hands please! - TODO: Figure out if there will be a policy on Canonical-only app reviewers. If this sparks any questions, please speak up. If anything is wrong in here, do the same! :-) Have a great weekend everyone and thanks for all the hard work you put into this effort!
