Ubuntu deb package
Because many servers have very limited resources, for example, my server only has 1 core and 2GB of memory, and it is also running other services. Compiling on the server is very slow, and due to the fact that many libraries on the server have been 'minimal', it cannot compile successfully. Ubuntu is probably the most used Linux distribution, could you provide a deb package?
We have a script that generates .deb's: https://github.com/facebookincubator/below/blob/main/scripts/build_deb.sh
Is that sufficient for you?
Is that sufficient for you?
That is no longer in a good state.
- Debian Bookworm does still offer the
libncursesw5dependency, not sure if that will remain for Debian 13 Trixie, the package is considered legacy. - Ubuntu 22.04 is the last Ubuntu release to offer the
libncursesw5package. Newer LTS such as Ubuntu 24.04 do not have it.
In Dec 2020, below switched away from the ncurses backend from the cursive crate to use crossterm, so this requirement is outdated.
I will contribute a PR with improvements that include addressing this concern.
UPDATE: Handled in the first commit of this PR: https://github.com/facebookincubator/below/pull/8251
Verified that it works on Ubuntu images (22.04 + 24.04).
