ubuntu ppa uptodate #299

Open ramonskie opened 6 years ago

ramonskie commented 6 years ago

the ubuntu direnv versions and all its ppa's have still an old direnv version it would be nice if this could uptodate

hi, I don't have control over the PPA so it's probably best to contact them directly.

As a workaround you can download direnv binary from the latest release. chmod +x direnv it and place it in /usr/local/bin.

This one seem yours, isn't it? https://launchpad.net/~zimbatm/+archive/ubuntu/direnv Do you have any plans to populate it with packages?

Downloading binary is nice, but then I'm missing updates.

Thank you!

Nope. Debian packaging is too much work and I don't use the platform.

I deleted that PPA since it's unsupported and didn't contain any releases.

Any update or change on this?

I'm not too familiar w/ the linux/apt package system, but would love to get the latest version of direnv published for ubuntu/bionic if possible, as that's what wsl is semi-officially locked into atm.

(You can technically update in a few ways, but iirc it's not been released on official channels so that Windows 10 natively offers it - it will "soon", but WSl2 is the main focus right now).

I see that the bionic package is coming from here, while the later ubuntu versions are from direnv directly here.

Looking at the direnv-deb repo, it looks as if the bionic repo was "handed over", as the commits are all from @punitagrawal

Apologies in advance if I've misunderstood something or used the wrong term - I'm very new to the linux/ubuntu package system, so part of this is me wanting & trying to get a better understanding :)

Hi Gareth,

Hopefully I can help answer your query.

I maintain the debian package for direnv. This roughly translates to taking the upstream direnv releases semi-regularly and packaging it up for debian. You can follow the debian package tracker at - https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/direnv

The ubuntu package for direnv is a snapshot of the debian package.

The debian package has been lagging upstream as we've been in a freeze for Buster release since the beginning of the year. Now that Buster is released I'll try and get the latest version packaged in the coming days.

Having said that, I am not sure about the process to upgrade a version of a package in an older version of Ubuntu. But upgrading the debian package will ensure that the next Ubuntu release will pick it up.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for taking the time to reply :)

That all makes rough sense to me - if my understanding is correct, the thing reason (aside from the Buster freeze) is that the direnv-deb repo is for building against the latest version of debian, and so produces a single build that is only compatible w/ certain versions (i.e "the last three ubuntu releases), rather than producing a build for each major version of choice?

It's not a huge deal as the core of direnv works just fine (and btw is fantastic); I'll just have to wait until MS release WSL2 & Cosmic :)

@punitagrawal thanks by the way for doing all the packaging work!

punitagrawal commented 5 years ago

Of course - packaging is the easy part. Thanks for all your effort on making such a useful tool! :)
