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 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

Main article: Task:Package categories


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 outlines them.
