I think since the only external requirement is portaudio (aka libportaudio) there is not much use for a separate debian package. Is there any problem with the pip install on debian?
There is no problem with pip install
on Debian.
I think it would still be nice to have a Debian package.
I hope that we can find a Debian maintainer who is willing to create a package.
BTW, I think python-soundcard
will be a better package name, since the module name will be changed to soundcard
(see #46).
I'd like to have a shoebot package for debian one day, and there are demos that use pysoundcard though, which makes it a bit tricky to package at the moment.
Personally, I don't have it installed as root though.. I tend to use apt for handling the system python, and pip for non-root, but maybe that is just me.
python-soundcard
definitely sounds best, maybe we can find the maintainers of python-pyaudio
We're currently trying to get a Debian package for PySoundFile: https://github.com/bastibe/PySoundFile/issues/100.
If this works out, we can ask them about PySoundCard, too, where the packaging will be very similar.
We should probably wait until the next release, though, because I would like to introduce a few breaking API changes (mainly in #43) and we should wait for the renaming in #46.
Is there a chance of a python-pysoundcard package ( python-pysoundcard? )
