Suggestion - XnViewMP in Ubuntu repos

[dvb]

Why not adding .deb packages to repos? It'd be great...

[xnview]

i agree

[dvb]

But?..

i don't know how to put a no GPL software on ubuntu repos...

Ubuntu Software Center accepts non-GPL software (including commercial software). Check here :

Maybe you could start here. As I understand, the "Multiverse" repo is for the "Software not licensed under the GPL (or similar license), but supported by users."

Or you could register your PPA on Launchpad, but their policy requires you to upload source, as I understood.

To upload a package to Multiverse repo, you need to be approved by a MOTO which may ask for a review (REVU process)... It is much more simple to publish to Ubuntu Software Centre.

Hello Pierre,

it is very, very nice to see XNviewMP now in the Ubuntu online-SoftwareCenter (USC). Great thanks for your efforts!

I only think one final step from your side is missing (publish)?. The package itself wont install, it cannot be found in the SWC, neither via the common packagesearch:

http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywo ... ection=all

Same situation with XNConvert:

Salut

So happy about this! b u t screenie says Version 0.21?

Could you also run an update for XNConvert? Listed is there Version 1.22, current is 1.51

Screenie (Sample Picture) says Version 1.02?

[xnview]

I don't understand, in the ubuntu app developer, i see XnConvert 1.51 as published

hi!

Found a bug that might possibly have to do with it (XnConvert):

bug 998158 – Version is not updated through MyApps

If so, just join in there & add your point.

XnViewMP was listed in the TopTen back in August 2012:

Softpedia.com: Top 10 Ubuntu App Downloads 08/12

In addition I asked Softpedia to update the details on the available version (they had still 0.39 on display). They changed it immediately, only they leftout the changelog for 0.50
