Get Everpad into the Debian repository #387

Open e2jk opened 10 years ago

e2jk commented 10 years ago

Would allow all Debian derivatives (including Ubuntu) to get it straight out of their repos, without having to go through a PPA.

This issue is meant as a master issue, to list all the steps needed to get Everpad into the official repository.

I have created an Intent To Package bug report on the Debian bug tracker: #739637

Kudos on the effort, @e2jk! Any recent progress in this package?

e2jk commented 8 years ago

No, I've stopped using Evernote/Everpad mid 2014 (see comment 36 on the Debian bug). I'm not aware of anyone else working on this recently, and the Debian bug had not received any attention since my last message.

How far did you go on that package? Did you manage it to work, for any snapshot of upstream?

I did a naive attempt to compile your package, but it added two or three wrong deps (e.g. python-py-oauth2 instead of python-oauth2), as well as the correct deps. It shouldn't be hard to fix, provided I manage to find where the error comes from.

It would be much easier if I knew, say, a specific commit where the package fully works, and then work my way forward. ;-)

I don't really remember how far. You should just start over again, picking stuff out where possible and check how the upstream Ubuntu package is set up.

Good luck. Emilien
