Help testing software

Revision as of 04:48, 19 October 2009

If you are eager to help the Maemo community, there are numerous ways to help. One pretty easy way is to help in application testing. BUT READ THIS DISCLAIMER FIRST: Seriously: don't send users out of Extras without a big warning

On your N900 device, go into App Manager, top menu, "Repositories", and add the following repository:

Name: Maemo Extras Testing

Distribution: fremantle

Sections: free non-free

Enabled: YES

Do "Update", then "Download" and you will see way more packages than if you just use Extras. Install some you like.

Run installed packages. If package runs well, vote it up. If it crashes, vote it down and leave a comment. Voting and commenting happens here:

Note: Each new version of the package has to be voted up separately!
