drgibbon | Is there a community packaging system for Devuan, say something like AUR for Arch? | 03:00 |
---|---|---|
fsmithred | huh? | 03:02 |
fsmithred | all the debian packaging tools are available. | 03:03 |
golinux | I think he might be talking about ppas | 03:03 |
DonkeyHotei | ubuntu's PPA are the same as arch's AUR | 03:04 |
fsmithred | ah, ok | 03:04 |
fsmithred | we don't have anything quite like that | 03:04 |
fsmithred | a few people do make their own packages available, but it's very informal | 03:05 |
drgibbon | I see | 05:00 |
drgibbon | so just trying to a get a handle on how it works at the community level, say there's some program that's not in the main repo and I want to package it, can that be added into the main package repo, or I would I host my own PPA style thing? Sorry, I've never really used Ubuntu/Debian systems seriously, I'm on Slackware mostly :) | 05:25 |
gnarface | drgibbon: you would have to set up your own unofficial repo, or get someone else with an unofficial repo to host your package. | 05:55 |
drgibbon | ok thanks | 05:55 |
gnarface | drgibbon: there are packages in the repo for setting up your own repo | 05:56 |
gnarface | drgibbon: it's not really different from Ubuntu except that we don't call them by a fancy acronym or endorse them in any way | 05:56 |
gnarface | drgibbon: last time i had to do this i used reprepro, it seems to work though the setup was a little confusing at first it was mostly just about how deeply nested the paths are | 05:57 |
drgibbon | cool, yeah my knowledge of Debian (and its derivatives) is pretty minimal. | 05:58 |
gnarface | well it's probably worth mentioning that there's a 3rd option too; get the package accepted by Debian and it will appear in Devuan automatically | 06:01 |
gnarface | now, they work on a scheduled release cycle, with pre-release freezes on included software and their major versions | 06:02 |
gnarface | so you'll never get it into beowulf, but there is a chance of getting it into future releases if you start the ball rolling now | 06:02 |
gnarface | i don't know if that's overkill for what you intend or not, i was disconnected for a while there so i may have missed stuff you said | 06:05 |
gnarface | even reprepro may be overkill for what you need | 06:05 |
gnarface | never underestimate the value of a file share full of *.deb files | 06:06 |
drgibbon | OK thanks that's helpful. At the moment I'm more just looking around at how different (non-systemd) distributions work. | 06:15 |
n4dir | for a raspberry pi there is only ascii ? I got that right? And second question: i only got a Raspberry 1 | 16:30 |
fsmithred | community disk images (unofficial) http://arm-files.devuan.org/ | 16:32 |
fsmithred | and there are installers for various arm stuff | 16:32 |
fsmithred | I'll get a link | 16:32 |
n4dir | ok thanks | 16:32 |
fsmithred | https://pkgmaster.devuan.org/devuan/dists/beowulf/main/ | 16:33 |
fsmithred | go into installer-arm*/current/ | 16:33 |
fsmithred | poke around. There's a lot. | 16:33 |
fsmithred | I don't know what to do with any of those files | 16:34 |
n4dir | yeah, that info is enough. | 16:35 |
