Re: Notes on packaging PCYNLITX



Sorry for late posting.

Currently I don't see any applications that use PCYNLITX.

Regarding code examples, the upstream provide some of them [1]. Those are in PDF format, though, so manually 
copy-pasting is needed to use them.

Hi,

I have a few rather higher level questions about PCYNLITX.

* are there any known users of PCYNLITX, in the sense of, does
  there exist an application, that actually uses PCYNLITX?

* I have read through the web page of PCYNLITX. I can not
  make up my mind. The web page is talking about how well
  documented PCYNLITX is, but there's no code examples of
  how PCYNLITX is used, as far as I could find. Without
  that it's too hard for me to make up my mind about it.
  I find the concept interesting, but without seeing
  code - hmmm...

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
