releasing a debian package would be really helpful for linux users

emcrisostomo commented 10 years ago

Hi @slang800,

In fact, I'm developing the Linux inotify monitor on Debian and I'm thinking about contributing a package. Let's leave this issue open as a reminder and a declaration of intent.

@emcrisostomo any news on a Deb package for fswatch? If you think you'll not have time for it probably you could get in touch with a Debian/Ubuntu Developer

Guys, I haven't seen any ITP so far for this package on Debian mailing lists. The only attempt I've found so far is this RFP #592234, though I believe this is some other software with the same name.

So, long story short, I was in need for ready-to-use package for Debian, so I built one. You may find it here: http://deb.ianod.es/debian/pool/main/f/fswatch/. In case you are using Debian, you may use my repository for ease of installation and future updates. Currently it's amd64 only and I still have couple of things that needs ironing out, but afterwards I will attempt to push it into main repos of Debian.

@emcrisostomo , this issue is still active on #149 and #170. We still can't install fswatch on Ubuntu/Debian...

Hey guys, apologies for late response. I still got notifications from GitHub, so here's my 5 cents:

  1. In the meantime I closed my PPA for Debian, hence the 404 Not Found. (More info here: https://chabik.com/closing-ppa-for-debian/).
  2. On my PPA website you can grab the whole repository, including fswatch package and building blocks that can potentially be used for upgrading. (http://deb.ianod.es & http://deb.ianod.es/repo-public.tar.xz).
  3. I also extracted repo mentioned in point 2 so you can grab stuff related to fswatch separately from here: http://deb.ianod.es/fswatch.
