Agenda
* pkgme - http://
* up and running for commercial apps
* current backends: binary, pdf, vala, python, cmake (incomplete), dotdeb
* desired backends: Qt, html5, flash, Unity lens/scope
* /opt requirement - https:/
The outcome of this session was two-fold: first of all we will try to pave the way for pkgme to package apps in the future. Secondly we will try to get quickly with /opt better. We will also track the outcomes of this blueprint in the ARB meetings.
