Linux Application Checker Brings Distro Help (Application Development Trends)

[Posted August 11, 2008 by jake]

Application Development Trends takes a look at the Linux Application Checker (AppChecker). The tool, which has been beta released by the Linux Foundation, tests application compatibility with various distributions. "According to Amanda McPherson, vice president of the Linux Foundation, AppChecker is not meant to give a 'thumbs up' or 'thumbs down' on a particular distro. Instead, it provides information needed to get the program running on each Linux version. Packages are checked against the Linux Standard Base (LSB) for each distro, and if the check is successful, developers are able to apply for LSB certification."

I heartily endorse this application checker!  It provided me with an instant checklist to
provide to the clueless newbie who ports Adobe Flash Player to Linux.
