A "blocker" is any item not met in the QA checklist. If any one of the criteria in the QA checklist is not met, the application cannot go into Extras. A Critical bug at http://bugs.maemo.org/ against the application is required to justify your thumbs down. | A "blocker" is any item not met in the QA checklist. If any one of the criteria in the QA checklist is not met, the application cannot go into Extras. A Critical bug at http://bugs.maemo.org/ against the application is required to justify your thumbs down. | ||
- | + | ===== 1. Lack of bug reporting database ===== | |
- | + | ||
- | + | It needs to be [[Packaging#Bugtracker location|identified in the http://maemo.org/packages/ page]]. http://bugs.maemo.org/ is the preferred option. | |
- | + | ||
- | + | Developers: filling the ''XSBC-Bugtracker'' field in your packages addresses this problem. Please see the [[Tracking bugs in Extras]] wiki page for the range of valid bugtrackers you can use. You can [[Bugs:Adding_Extra_products|get your bugtracker at bugs.maemo.org]], use an external bugtracker (such as a project [[Getting started with Maemo_Garage#Trackers and tasks|bugtracker at garage.maemo.org]]), or a talk.maemo.org thread. An e-mail address for small projects (wallpapers, for example) can be used with the following field in the <code>debian/control</code> file of the package: | |
- | + | ||
- | + | XSBC-Bugtracker: mailto:yourname@example.com | |
- | + | ||
- | + | In case the bugtracker field is not specified, the address is defaulted to be that of the package itself on maemo.org: http://maemo.org/packages/view/<package>(/<version>) A missing bugtracker is NOT a blocker as of 01.09.2010, but use of bugtracking facilities IS strongly recommended. | |
- | + | ||
- | + | ===== 2. Licensing and legal issues ===== | |
- | + | ||
- | + | Evident licensing problems or copyright violation. The open source licenses need to be compliant. It needs to be clear that the product is not officially supported by Nokia, Maemo or other commercial entities and trademarks. | |
- | + | ||
- | + | ===== 3. Illegal or dubious content ===== | |
- | + | ||
- | + | To avoid any doubt, the content must not depict explicit sexual activity; depict or endorse acts that cause or are intended to cause excessive pain or suffering; promote or endorse the misuse of alcohol, tobacco, illegal drugs or other addictive substances; promote intolerance or discrimination based on racial, political, ethnic, religious, gender differences or sexuality; promote invasion of rights of privacy; promote gambling or promote illegal activity. | |
- | + | ||
- | + | ===== 4. Working features, broken functionality or reproducible crashes ===== | |
- | + | ||
- | + | There is some functionality that does not work or produces crash. Report the problem in the application's bug reporting database. There you can provide a list of steps that lead to the problem. | |
- | + | ||
- | + | ===== 5. Missing announced features ===== | |
- | + | ||
- | + | Core features advertised through UI or product page don't work or are missing. | |
- | + | ||
+ | ===== 6. Optification ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | An application is correctly "optified" if all files created during the normal operation of the application are created and stored in /opt or MyDocs, since these directories are not stored on the root filesystem. | ||
+ | |||
+ | If the application or its dependencies ignore the recommendation to [[Documentation/Maemo 5 Developer Guide/Packaging, Deploying and Distributing/Installing under opt and MyDocs|use the eMMC to install as much files as possible]], filling the root partition with 500kb or more, this can be considered a blocker. | ||
+ | |||
+ | <code>dpkg -L packagename</code> shows all files installed by a package. Also see [[Opt Problem]]. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Feel free to add those packages to [[Opt_Problem/Non-Optified_packages]]. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== 7. System performance compromised ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Running the application visibly affects the performance and responsiveness of the system, either through specific actions or leaving the application open/running during a long period of time. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== 8. Power management issues ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Battery life is diminished beyond acceptable standards by having the application running in the background or just through normal use. The use case of a full day without charging should not be compromised. | ||
+ | |||
+ | If specific applications are explicitly using a lot of power to boost speed or performance (for instance games, Wi-Fi heavy apps) then they must warn the user explicitly with a first boot banner. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== 9. Security risks ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The main security risks are financial damage, access to private data and harm to device components. If you find such risk in an application then you need to [http://maemo.org/community/security/ report] it and the app can't be uploaded to Extras until a deeper analysis has been done with favourable results. | ||
