Make it less distro-married

Open X3MBoy opened this issue 8 years ago • 5 comments

Starting with readme, where installation instructions goes directly to instructs user to use get-deb. The rpm package in the official website crash on fedora. I think this applications is awesome, but it's really hard to install in distros not ubuntu-based.

I would suggest taking a look at the arch linux AUR pkgbuild for it.

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pacmanager-bin/

Specifically : https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=pacmanager-bin

It will probably help you understand how to install it. The comments also have a good chunk of distro-agnostic help/suggestions.

Try out my script, I have collected all needed dependencies for CentOS (should work on RHEL as well): https://github.com/telefax/Pac-manager-Dependency-installer-for-CentOS-7

Easiest would be to just install snap package, as it should work on every distro that supports snapd.

Maybe even easier - use and AppImage, which bundles all the conflicting dependencies, so apps run everywhere. digiKam, Krita and other major projects distribute appimages.
