#58 Some little problems with some hwgui files
Hi Wilfried,
For many years I have been making and providing deb packages for Harbour and HwGUI. This always worked until the arrival of Ubuntu 20.04 and 22.04 (for the HwGUI deb).
The problem being that my deb for HwGUI copies the contents of /usr/share/hwgui to the user's $HOME folder. The original postinst file copies the contents to home and changes ownership from root to $USER. Since 20.04 and following, instead of returning me the correct variable ($USER), returns me /root.
I solved the problem by leaving a message for the user, when installing the deb, to indicate which command to execute to make the copy and change the owner.
This realized, I decided to flesh out the deb a bit. And that's where I found some troubles with the local svn copy of HwGUI which occurred to me while checking the deb by lintian.
The problems are:
- Incorrect right (x)
W: hwgui: executable-not-elf-or-script usr/share/hwgui/samples/gtk_samples/qoutcolor.prg
W: hwgui: executable-not-elf-or-script usr/share/hwgui/samples/gtk_samples/sample.hbp

- Wrong encoding (should be UTF-8)

This last point only concerns files used under linux, excluding .bat files, etc ...
But it does not seem to me that this would pose a problem under Windows which must now be able to use files encoded in UTF-8.
The last point, was the structure of changelog. I have made a little tool to correct it and add the revision number to all the entries. This last point ought to be a good thing, even if conserving the actual structure.
For now, I have corrected these problems by changing owner, and changing the encoding, but it would be nice not to have to do it.
Even I suppose you already know where to find my debs, here is the link :

PS :As I said in a post, I have always en error building hwglblsample.
Thanks

Hi,
It's ok, and you can close the tichet.
Just a little remark:
To have a better visual, add a blank line before End message ;)

Ticket closed.
