Notes on packaging PCYNLITX
Hello,
I've filed RFP for PCYNLITX sometimes ago [1]:
In PCYNLITX download page [2], it can be installed by using installation script. However, after examining install
script, I noticed following:
- PCYNLITX doesn't employ version numbering like any other project/packages. It would be difficult to identify
which is the latest version. So I use version number 0.0~git20190606 in RFP report.
- The script install wxWidgets library from third-party repository, not from Debian. It use codelite repo (for Stretch):
apt-add-repository 'deb http://repos.codelite.org/wx3.0.4/debian/ stretch libs'
- Evince will be installed as runtime dependency, possibly for documentation. For non-GNOME users (KDE, XFCE, etc.)
which use different readers (like Okular and Atril) this can bloat their system and become unnecessary.
- All steps are performed using sudo. If the script is run by root user, this will be redundant, since the installation
is done by root privileges.
If I will packaging PCYNLITX for Debian, any suggestions, assuming that I have read New Maintainers Guideline and
related Debian packaging documentation?
Cheers, Bagas
