Bug Description
Ubuntu Software Center will soon handle hardware requirements for software. These will not be useful for independent applications, unless MyApps has an interface for entering the requirements.
Wireframe: https:/
The "Form factor:" menu should, at this stage, contain only "PC only".
The "Memory:" menu should contain "No requirement" (the default), "128+ MB", "256+ MB", "512+ MB", "1+ GB", and "2+ GB".
The "Graphics acceleration:" menu should contain "No requirement" (the default), "OpenGL 2.1+", "OpenGL 3.0+", "OpenGL 3.1+", "OpenGL 3.2+", "OpenGL 3.3+", "OpenGL 4.0+", "OpenGL 4.1+", and "OpenGL 4.2+".
The "CD burner" checkbox should be insensitive and unchecked whenever "CD drive" is unchecked, and the "DVD burner" checkbox should be insensitive and unchecked whenever "DVD drive" is unchecked.
If a developer specifies requirements, MyApps should add debtags to the package as specified in <https:/
(This specification is subject to constant change: for example, Blu-Ray, compass, gyroscope, front-facing camera will need adding. Probably it would be better to host it on a wiki somewhere.)

Developers can currently specify hardware requirements, checking options in a plain checkbox list.
The suggested UI in the attached wireframe would be a noticeable improvement.
Check with mvo / somebody that knows which of all these debtags are currently supported.
