Hi all, Alexander raised an interesting requirement on IRC, that I'd like to discuss a bit to figure out how to best implement it. Creating an image today is tied to being able to upload core apps to the store first, which creates a bit of a chicken-and-egg story for continuous integration. Lets fix this.
Currently you can upload apps and not publish them directly. I think that's essentially "staging" them, what I believe we lack today is the ability to do some CI with unpublished apps. I can see others also wanting to be able to stage and test their apps, before they become public. So, what I understand we need to provide, as a minimum feature is: - A way to programatically upload and download apps, before they are published (or maybe even reviewed?) - A way to limit access to who can access these files for download - A way to programatically publish them once it passes all tests A few questions as well: - Can we use the same credentials as the user that uploads them? - Do we need to also provide all the data in click index, or just the ability to download a file you know the name beforehand? - Anything else? -- Martin -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-appstore-developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-appstore-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
