Update zeal ppa for Ubuntu #1558

Open cmorty opened 1 year ago

cmorty commented 1 year ago

I'd love to see an updated PPA (https://launchpad.net/~zeal-developers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa). I'll support you, if I can. I already packed some stuff - although that was about 10 years ago (https://launchpad.net/~morty).

@cmorty PPA indeed needs to be updated, if you are interested in maintaining it, that'd be great. You can find the old metadata in the zeal-packaging repo. Ideally there should be a way to make GitHub actions trigger deployment to PPA when metadata is updated.

@trollixx I can at least commit to getting the ppa up and running again. I'll see what I can do about the "build on meta-data-change". At the time we always had an extra branch we merged into.

I believe that Zeal is now in the default repository listings for recent versions of Ubuntu Linux. Therefore, alternative Zeal packaging is not necessary. However, I also believe that the re-institution of the Personal Package Archive is absolutely necessary in the best effort of ensuring bug- and potential security-fixes to the Zeal documentation browser.

A access failure at https://code.launchpad.net/~zeal-developers/zeal/github-ubuntu, maybe because still using obsolete github username/password login method, rather than a valid github classic token with enough permissions, which I think can be hacked as a username or a password on legacy systems. This got me about a year ago for another well known automated build system, still only providing username and password login method for github!
