Possible to offer .deb file?

Open Quigsly opened this issue 4 years ago • 13 comments

Would be really nice to have this as a .deb file.

Making deb files is considerably harder than making snaps, which is why I moved Pick to be a snap some time ago, so I'm not likely to change this, I'm afraid.

A lot of people are simply not going to use snapd.

Have you heard of Debreate? It's a pretty nice .deb maker.

Such people are entirely welcome to not use Pick, either, of course; I'm not forcing them to do so. :-)

If not snap, can you try flatpak? It's a great alternative to snap.

I know little about flatpaks, I don't have a need for one, and Pick is primarily aimed at Ubuntu users. But I believe that most flatpak packages aren't published by the original author anyway?

Flatpak works similar to Snap, it can be published by the original author or a third party. I use Ubuntu and I don't use Snap and many people have stopped using it, it is invasive. It would be highly appreciated to have this app on Flatpak.

Do consider flatpak.

+1 for flatpak

I'm a vote for flatpak, as well. Pick is a great app comparatively, very clean interface but Snap is, sadly, far from the ideal application packager. Even some Ubuntu-derived distros (Mint comes to mind) are abandoning Snap for Flatpak. :|

A flatpak is now available on Flathub, as requested. https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.kryogenix.Pick

I just tried it, it works excellent. Thank you very much!

I just tried it as well, and while the text displays properly on this one, it doesn't seem to play nice with Fedora 34 or multiple monitors. :(

(but I threw you some dosh, because this project rocks and whiners like me should be better about incentivizing developers who do such good work!)

oh! Pick works fine for me in Fedora Silverblue 35 (I haven't tried it in 34, but I can't think why that would make a difference). Can you (in a separate bug, perhaps) fill in what happens and how it fails, @tromlet ?
