Create a downloadable .deb please #1206

Closed TriMoon closed 5 years ago

TriMoon commented 6 years ago

To have more people test this POL5 version you should create an downloadable/installable .deb package. I'm interested in a 64bit version for Debian 9.4 :wink:

plata commented 6 years ago

We will only do this for releases. Currently we are still pre-alpha so there will not be a .deb of the development software. However, you can build a .deb for yourself (should be quite easy by following the wiki).

TriMoon commented 6 years ago

I didn't ask for a specific stable debian version. Debian has special branches for all software stages including pre-alpha, fe. testing, sid etc. eg. you can even make automated nightly deb's...

Re your last line see OP...If i wanted to build it myself i would not have posted this.

plata commented 6 years ago

Well, in fact Travis is building the .deb. It's just not uploaded somewhere right now. We can upload releases with GitHub releases but that doesn't make sense for nightlies (in my opinion). So what we would need is some place where we can upload the build artifacts (for free).

First of all i'm not a package developer, that said i suggest you to read some of these:

plata commented 6 years ago

Thanks for the input. I will have a look. In general, we're a bit low on manpower so really maintaining packages for several distributions will most probably be above our capabilities. I could imagine that we'll rather go for snap/flatpak in the end.

If travis is building the deb it could be uploaded to the github releases, tagged as a dev build EDIT: never mind, I didn't notice it was there.. sorry

plata commented 5 years ago

@LyzardKing we can consider that. I'm not sure that this makes sense, though (see my comment above). The currently uploaded deb is for alpha which actually is a release, so it makes sense to have it there.

plata commented 5 years ago

Closed as alpha release is available from GitHub releases.
