Put lrc-server on a linux remote repository. #31

Open Agneli opened 10 years ago

Agneli commented 10 years ago

I was thinking in a way to auto-update the lrc-server to user. And i think that linux remote repositories is a good option. I need see the best way to do this, if use a PPA or a official repository like of the Ubuntu. Anyway, what do you think of this ?

The best way to do this would be to create archives for the major distributions (such as Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, ...) and to submit it to the package maintainers. This way, the server could easily be installed via apt-get install linux-remote-control.

That is the idea. I am studying this and bring news soon.

lrc-server in official repositories would be awesome. I'll look forward to that :)

You can also create your own repository with reprepro it is really easy! I saw that you already have your website, so if you can upload files in there it is all you need!

(Plus it will be a signed repository)

I did it for my software and i find it really useful. Each time that i build a deb package, i have an lftp script that synchronizes my local repository with the online. ( it makes you win a lot of time :) )

You will have also the advantage that users won't have to use apt-get -f install to get the dependencies, and each time that you update your online repo they will get notified on synaptic/the ubuntu pacakge manager :)

__ I discovered this project yesterday, it is nice and I'll try to contribute! (Sadly I've never programmed on java-script...)

Sweet, good idea !

If you're interested in contributing on this project, I made a huge pull-request that basically changes all the backend for the server-client communication, but that version is buggy, so we can't use it yet. It would be nice to have more people contributing on this project !
