Create PPA for edb

Open eteran opened this issue 8 years ago • 5 comments

I would like to have a proper PPA for edb to make installing it trivial for users. While I have created very preliminary scripts for generating a deb file, there is a bit of an issue where capstone is not available in the latest Ubuntu repos.

So ideally, the PPA we create would also include a deb for the capstone dependancies.

It looks like Debian unstable has it (I managed to build it), you could try packaging it on that?

Looks like Ubuntu now has a nice up to date package for capstone. My manually create "create-deb-qt5.sh" scripts seem to produce a working .deb file. So getting closer to getting a proper PPA going :-)

What are we currently missing for this, if we can generate a working .deb?

Honestly, I just find the online instructions for creating a source Deb for a PPA confusing 😋. If you have any experience with that, I'd love any insight.

hi, it seems that this have already been packed into Debian , and Ubuntu is supposed to port it into their official repo. https://packages.debian.org/source/buster/edb-debugger https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/edb-debugger

but you may still wanna to create a PPA, if you wanna a shorter release cycle. btw, you can ask the maintainers from Debian or kali for help. @marciosouza20 @sbrun http://git.kali.org/gitweb/?p=packages/edb-debugger.git;a=summary
