| - | == 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.

| - | Package sections are still under discussion, a stable section list is expected for Fremantle.

| - | == 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.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | # 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.
| + | |

| - | Here is an example of a properly formatted Maemo-Icon-26:
