[ http://jira.pcgen.org/browse/CODE-110?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ] Adam Jefferiss updated CODE-110: -------------------------------- Attachment: pcgen.out Error output from deb package > Produce Deb files for Linux installation > ---------------------------------------- > > Key: CODE-110 > URL: http://jira.pcgen.org/browse/CODE-110 > Project: Code > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Installer - Linux > Reporter: David R. Bender > Attachments: pcgen.out > > > SourceForge ID: 1906065 > New Summary: Produce Deb files for Linux installation > Type: New Feature > Priority: Minor > ===== > Details: > For those of us who use Debian-Linux it would be very nice if there were .deb files available. > Submitted: > smitty ( smittythesmith ) - 2008-03-03 01:31:32 EST > ===== > Date: 2008-10-29 20:35:34 EDT > Sender: fluxxdog > Hide > 1) Provide .deb files > 2) It would be nice to be in the Ubuntu MultiVerse, as Ubuntu seems to be > where much of the non-datacenter/raised-floor Linux user base is today > 3) If we do this for Debian, we should really create .rpms for Red Hat > Considering I'm a Debian user, doesn't sound bad. As PCGen is OGL and > Open Source, we should be able to get it in the main repositories. The > only issue is if we can actually get it in the free heading. They may look > at it as being part of contrib since technically some of they stuff do > require copyrighted sources. (I.E. "See Text") > Date: 2008-03-03 09:35:48 EST > Sender: thprProject Admin & Donor > Hide > A .deb file is how software packages are released on Debian Linux systems > (Ubuntu included). A high level description of what one contains and what > is involved in making it is here: > http://tldp.org/HOWTO/html_single/Debian-Binary-Package-Building-HOWTO/ > Depending on how far this is taken it can serve multiple purposes. > The base purpose of it would be to make installation (and removal) of > PCGen on Debian easier. Although given that we aren't updating things in > any system directories of Debian, the primary purpose would probably be to > set the dependencies in order to ensure that other things (e.g. Java) are > already installed. > A secondary purpose would be that certain tools (e.g. aptitude) could be > taught of a PCGen repository and thus automatically detect updates when we > posted them. > If we do this, we really need to do 3 things: > 1) Provide .deb files > 2) It would be nice to be in the Ubuntu MultiVerse, as Ubuntu seems to be > where much of the non-datacenter/raised-floor Linux user base is today > 3) If we do this for Debian, we should really create .rpms for Red Hat > Date: 2008-03-03 03:25:18 EST > Sender: jdempseyProject Admin & Donor > Hide > Could you provide some more information please? Some things it would be > good to know are what are .deb files, how would we build them and how would > they be useful? A recommendation on a decent reference site would also be > helpful please. > Thanks, > James Dempsey > PCGen Code Silverback -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.pcgen.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira |
