Create PPA for Ubuntu #100

Open tuxflo opened 7 years ago

tuxflo commented 7 years ago

Hey! Since Redtimer is under such active development, manually checking if there is a new release can be annoying. Is there a change to provide a ppa for the ubuntu packages to get the release updates automatically with the systemupdates?

Hi @tuxflo

I actually already created an empty PPA (https://launchpad.net/~thomssen/+archive/ubuntu/redtimer). The problem is that in order to add a package to a PPA, you need to let Ubuntu Launchpad build the package. I.e. I will need a build script which I don't have at the moment and don't have any experience with.

Do you have experience in creating PPA packages or know someone who does?

Best regards Frederick Thomssen

No I don't have experiance with that. But I'll take a look on that at the end of feburary when my test section for this semester is done :)

I will go with another approach. As the .deb files are already uploaded to GitHub, I will be able to use them as a download source. Then, I will automagically create a PPA file on https://www.redtimer.org that will link to the files on GitHub.
