It seems H-A-M supports (will support?) the section "user/hidden" in the future ([http://maemo.gitorious.org/hildon-application-manager/mainline/commit/deeb9558129e22f9d1ca49ef9b6565a173603fcd commit log]). This section will not be shown in the "Download" view, but will be shown in the "Update" and "Uninstall" views.

{{quotation|Drawing a bit freely from the literature of Faceted Classification, a facet is a group of tags which describe the same quality of a package. Package Tags are organized in Facets, that represent different points of view from which to look at the package archive. For example, you could have a "Usage" facet with tags about what a program is intended to be used for, or you could have a "Media" facet with tags about what kind of information a program is able to process, a "Technology" facet about the technology a package uses, and so on. With this approach, every tag is situated in a specific context, and has a clear meaning. Also, tags from different facets shed light on packages from different points of view, giving "depth" to its categorization. Take something tagged with "Use::Chatting", "Technology::IRC", "Role::Server": it has a remarkable level of detail, and tells almost everything we need to know about what the package does.}}

 This task is completed and this page stays here for documentation purposes only. Please file bugs or propose a new, related task if you want to push this forward.
Please see the talk page for discussion.


This wiki page serves as a discussion page for improving the categorization system used for Maemo packages. Improvements here will be pushed to the Maemo Packaging Policy through Task:Packaging policy proposed changes.

This proposal is coordinated by Niels Breet and is part of the Extras repository process definition.


Contents

[edit] Problem

People feel the need to create new categories, because the current list is too limited.

Another problem is that some categories aren't very descriptive. What applications go in to tools, support or accessories?

[edit] Maemo Packaging Policy

The current Maemo Packaging Policy lists the following sections:

  • accessories
  • communication
  • games
  • multimedia
  • office
  • other
  • programming
  • support
  • themes
  • tools

[edit] New list for Diablo

This is the final list for Diablo:

Key Example English i18n Example apps
user/desktop Desktop Home, statusbar and taskbar applets
user/development Programming py2deb
user/education Education Flashcard apps
user/games Games Doom, Duke Nukem 3D
user/graphics Graphics Photo apps, GIMP, Inkscape, fonts
user/multimedia Multimedia or Sound & Video Canola, mplayer, Kagu, UKMP, MediaBox
user/navigation (Location &) Navigation maemo-mapper, Navit
user/network Internet & Networking Web browsers, Samba clients, OpenAFS, Transmission
user/office Office GPE, Claws, AbiWord
user/science Science gnuplot, Octave
user/system System rotation-support, enhanced kernels, themes
user/utilities Utilities or Accessories Calculators, terminals, text editors

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

[edit] Future additions

The current proposed list is only for Diablo, future additions and changes will be considered for Fremantle.

It seems H-A-M supports (will support?) the section "user/hidden" in the future (commit log). This section will not be shown in the "Download" view, but will be shown in the "Update" and "Uninstall" views.

[edit] Debtags

Debian Package Tags: Faceted Classification

As stated on the debtags website:

{{quotation|Drawing a bit freely from the literature of Faceted Classification, a facet is a group of tags which describe the same quality of a package. Package Tags are organized in Facets, that represent different points of view from which to look at the package archive. For example, you could have a "Usage" facet with tags about what a program is intended to be used for, or you could have a "Media" facet with tags about what kind of information a program is able to process, a "Technology" facet about the technology a package uses, and so on. With this approach, every tag is situated in a specific context, and has a clear meaning. Also, tags from different facets shed light on packages from different points of view, giving "depth" to its categorization. Take something tagged with "Use::Chatting", "Technology::IRC", "Role::Server": it has a remarkable level of detail, and tells almost everything we need to know about what the package does.

[edit] Application-specific subcategories

Within each of the top-level categories, projects may want to group a number of packages together. For this, sub-sections can be used. For example, Canola may have:

Package Section
canola2 user/multimedia/Canola
canola2-theme-flatblack user/multimedia/Canola/themes
canola2-youtube-plugin user/multimedia/Canola/plugins
canola-tuning user/multimedia/Canola/settings

The rule is simple:

  1. If the portion of the section path starts with a capital letter, it is shown as-is
  2. Otherwise the portion of the section path must be one of the above sections or, additionally:
    • themes
    • plugins
    • translations
