Distribute deb files and Appimages

[freddii]

It would be usefull to have some prebuild deb files and Appimages

AppImage is interesting.

Deb packages could be built using CMake.

PRs are welcome :)

i would also be nice to have xautoclick in debians repo. People would not have to compile it. It would be simply possible to install it with:

apt install xautoclick

Also a ppa at https://launchpad.net might be handy for distributing deb files.

or flatpak at https://flathub.org/home

It would be nice to have xautoclick in debians repo.

There are two solutions to add it:

1. request an ITP ( Intent to Package request) if you want to package it yourself for Debian
2. request a RFP (Request for Package request) if you want someone else to pick it up and package it for Debian.

There is some help about "Request for Package" and "Intent to Package" for debian at:

https://wiki.debian.org/ITP https://wiki.debian.org/RFP https://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/#l1

So you have to do a bug report at debian where you either "Request for Package" or "Intent to Package" xautoclick.

you can do that by running in terminal:

reportbug -B debian

Number 1, ITP, is what to pick if you have packaged it and want to submit it. Number 5, RFP, is what to pick if you want someone else to package it.

RFP are listed after that at: https://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/requested_byage

Maybe you @qarkai as the programmer can do that bug report.

• [ ] AppImage
• [ ] Flatpak
• [ ] Ubuntu PPA?

@freddii I don't use Debian, so I don't want to create RFP let alone ITP. Feel free to open bug report at bugs.debian.org for that.

a flatpak might be useful
