Package in official Debian repo is broken #235

Closed alexmyczko closed 2 years ago

alexmyczko commented 3 years ago

Debian 11 Bullseye released, and one can apt install cadabra2 :)

Ubuntu 22.04 should get it too (in half a year).

Sorry for abusing the issues for this.

kpeeters commented 2 years ago

Unfortunately it doesn't seem to run :-( I just installed a clean Debian 11 in a VM, then installed cadabra2. If I then run cadabra2 from the terminal, I get the message that

 /usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/cadabra2_defaults.py

cannot be found. And indeed it has been installed in 

/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/cadabra2_defaults.py

Let me know if you want me to file this in the Debian issue tracker.

And if I make a symlink to get the above to work, cadabra2-gtk still isn't functional because the dependencies do not include a base latex installation. That may be intentional though.

i have just updated the package to the latest release, mind testing that?

kpeeters commented 2 years ago

Seems to work fine now, thanks! Is it a lot of work for you to update to the latest release at some point in the next month or so? Should I ping you here or elsewhere?

alexmyczko commented 2 years ago

Thanks for testing it so quick. Usually not so much, but it depends if the way to build/install changes a lot or not. I usually see updates with a few days delay using debian watch system. Feel free to ping here with mentioning @alexmyczko

What changes/improvements do you have in mind/planned?

(although I closed the bug, feel free to keep it open if you think that fits better)

kpeeters commented 2 years ago

This is just a bunch of extra features and bug fixes, nothing that changes the build process. I'll ping you when I think it's good to go, thanks!
