| - | Maemo packaging is generally similar to Debian packaging, with a few small differences, this article aims to illustrate some of those differences and aggregate the various resources on Maemo packaging.

| - | == Packaging policy ==
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Most of the specifics for Maemo packaging are outlined in the [http://maemo.org/forrest-images/pdf/maemo-policy.pdf Maemo packaging policy]. The policy is still in the draft stage, though, so certain parts are still incomplete or not entirely up to date.

| - | == Sections ==
| + | |
| - | This is the list used in Fremantle/Maemo5 and is the same as the [http://lists.maemo.org/pipermail//maemo-developers/2008-October/035437.html final] list for Diablo as [[Task:Package_categories|discussed in the task]].

| - | If the package's section starts "user/", but is not any of the above, the ''Application Manager'' forces them into an "Other" section.
| + | |

| - | == Maemo-specific fields ==
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | There are a number of Maemo-specific package fields that are handled by Application manager. The Application manager documentation [http://hildon-app-mgr.garage.maemo.org/packaging-stable.html outlines] them.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | == Displaying an icon in the Application Manager next to your package ==
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Displaying an icon in the Application Manager next to your package makes it look pretty and makes your package stand out, and it is not that hard to do.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''These instructions are for Maemo4. For Maemo5 (Fremantle), the icons should be 48x48 but the field name is still ''XB-Maemo-Icon-26''.'''
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | # Make an image that is 26x26. The image can be saved in any format that is supported by GdkPixbufLoader on Maemo, but PNG is commonly used and suffices fine. | + | |
| - | # base64 encode the image. This can be done in many ways, depending on the platform, but I'll assume you are in scratchbox.
| + | |
| - | <pre>
| + | |
| - | apt-get update
| + | |
| - | apt-get install sharutils
| + | |
| - | uuencode -m <name of 26x26 image> <name of 26x26 image> > <name of 26x26 image>.base64
| + | |
| - | </pre>
| + | |
| - | # Add the field ''XB-Maemo-Icon-26'' to your debian/control
| + | |
| - | # Open the base64 version of your image and copy from the line under ''begin-base64 644 <name of 26x26 image>'' to the line above the ''===''
| + | |
| - | # Add this to the ''XB-Maemo-Icon-26'' field.
| + | |
| - | # Add a space in front of every line of the encoded icon.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Here is an example of a properly formatted Maemo-Icon-26:
