Myapps Error

[Allison Randal]

Ah, yeah, this is one we should report as a feature request. For ARB
apps, we don't actually use the information in the PPA field, that's
only for commercial apps. But, since it's required, and has to be unique
for every app, we put in a garbage value (I generally enter
"garbage/garbagecrqn098" where the second part is a random string of
letters and numbers.)

The signing key can also be completely random, and the version number
should be the package version (e.g. "0.1-0extras12.04.1").

The current process is to put out the [VOTE] email first, and then do
the "Approve" in MyApps after the vote, so we know that all the apps in
"Pending QA" status have already been published. That will change once
Bug #914667 is fixed, and we have the ability to mark ARB apps as
"Published" status (though, I'm not exactly sure yet what the new
process will be, that's something to check in with achuni about in the
UDS session).
