Hello Pjotrek, Peter,
I was wondering if gtkdialog could be packaged for Debian (again)? 😇 Since gtkdialog has recent releases and seems to be active - I was curious to know if there's any chance of getting it back into default repositories?
You know, to the best of my knowledge nobody who collaborates with this github account (organization), makes packages for Debian and the default Debian repositories. If you're just interested in a deb package of gtkdialog, #152 might be of help? There's also the doglinux distro that is Debian based, includes gtkdialog and, I suppose, maintains some sort of deb repo. You might want to ask them, too.
Thanks for the reply @step- :)
I've already checked #152, and also compiled it right now on Xubuntu 20.04. I'm familar with Debian packaging myself, and know that it's not always easy to find a package-maintainer :wink:
Thanks for the tip about asking someone from "doglinux" (possibly in their forum).
Since gtkdialog has recent releases and seems to be active
I wouldn't say it's a very active project, most recent changes are related to GTK+ 3 and Wayland migration. Personally, I use yad for any new code and keep gtkdialog around only for backward compatibility with code I can't remove easily.
I added this package to Bodhi Linux 7. We have a Debian version so you can find the Bookworm version on our b7debbie repo. There is also a Ubuntu 22.04 version here. Both versions are at the latest git commit, and the qtkdialog-doc includes the info file and two example escripts have been patched to ensure they work with Debian/Ubuntu. I have NOT tested all the examples tho, just noticed those two.
Hi everyone! :smiley:

In 2009-12-08 it was removed from Debian Unstable, given the following reason:

Thank you very much in advance.
