Packaging for Debian? #107

Open ranchester2 opened 3 years ago

There is an easy to use PPA for Ubuntu, and other solutions for others. However there isn't for Debian, and you probably then have to use the "other distributions/manual method", which seams quite a bad thing to do, with harder installation, possible conflicts, especially when installing directly to /usr.

Even though Plasma 5.21 is out, Debian stable isn't there, which is quite relevant, and will still be for quite some time. And even the next stable release (Bullseye) will/is be on 5.20, so this would still be extremely relevant for a long time to come. (somewhat similar to this comment https://github.com/tildearrow/kwin-lowlatency/issues/106#issuecomment-764869932)

And I couldn't really find anything online about something like that for kwin-lowlatency for Debian.

As far as I'm concerened, noone has done this before. I guess the easiest way to acomplish an easy installation method for Debian would be to use maxiberta's ubuntu desc files as a template, optimize these for debian and then build kwin-lowlatency against latest debian binaries in openSUSE's build service, which can be used as a repo for the new packages aswell. However, that's lot's of work and I'm unsure if anyone has done it so far.
