There seems to be no publicly documented information about how to get applications included in the Canonical Partners repo.

  • How does an app/software get included there?
  • What are the benefits?
  • Do apps need to pay Canonical for inclusion in that repo? (if so, all the app dev needs to do is just pay for the service, no matter what the standard/popularity/usefulness of the app is, it gets included?)

Note: this is about applications in http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu repo and not the Independent repo (http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu) which falls under the App Review Process.

Canonical offers two services for commercial apps, simplified very basically here:

  1. The Full-service option where they do all the work to put the program in the Software Centre
  2. The Self-service option where you package it, and they give you feedback, and put it in the Software Centre

For more details see the Canonical's page on Application Packaging.
