Debian package

Open thebashpotato opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

I have been maintaining a debian package of your most recent build for my own personal use, but seeing as how I'm maintaining it anyways, would you like to add the debian package to your releases section along with the tar.gz and zip? I'd be happy to coordinate with you on new releases to provide an up to date package, and test on different debian based distros.

I hope @dpayne takes up your offer.

Also, do you know what the process is for getting Debian to officially package cli-visualizer? It's a tad silly that people have to install a bunch of dev tools on a Raspberry Pi just to get cli-visualizer.

@mattcoding4days sorry for the late response, I don't check this as much as I should. Please let me know what you have in mind and I can add it.

@hackerb9 The process to get debian packages in to any offical repository is daunting. It is much easier for the repository holding the code to provide a downloadable debian package.

@dpayne I have some python code that runs in my own CMake projects that is capable of building .deb, .rpm and slackbuilds. Pair that with a Dockerfile to do the actual build process to produce the packages built on their respective distros, and you can easily support packaging formats for most distros in an automated fashion. When I have some time I will properly fork cli-visualizer and open up a PR with the code and documentation.
