[Bug 788696] Re: No links for commercial apps in Ubuntu software centre

[Matthew Paul Thomas]

Apparently the system for submitting a commercial application is missing
a field to specify the vendor's Web site URL (i.e. "Homepage" field in
the control file). Therefore I'm moving this to the developer portal
project.

** Also affects: developer-portal
   Importance: Undecided
       Status: New

** Summary changed:

- No links for commercial apps in Ubuntu software centre
+ Commercial apps in USC don't link to their Web sites

** Description changed:

- Binary package hint: software-center
+ The "For Purchase" software does not seem to contain any vendor
+ information or links to their website.
  
- The for purchase software does not seem to contain any vendor
- information or links to their website.  This might be tolerable if the
- information on the page was more complete (demos, more screenshots,
- trailers, company name, actual hardware (memory, space, video card, cpu
- requirements).
+ Apparently this is because the developer portal does not include a field
+ for entering the product's Web site, i.e. the "Homepage:" field for the
+ package. USC automatically presents "Homepage:" as a link or button when
+ it is present.

** Changed in: software-center (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Invalid
