Bug#656903: Desurium on a LP PPA
Debian version strings:
If you are on the 0.9 branch you have to make clear that your package is
smaller than "0.9.0-1".
Your "0.9.0-devel+git20121104-makson*" > 0.9.0.
So I would use something like "0.9.0~20121104-0ubuntu0makson1" on Ubuntu
and 0.9.0~20121104-1" on Debian.
wxWidgets:
wxwidgets2.9 might never be part of Debian, since it is the current
wxWidgets development branch.
Debian will switch to wxwidgets2.10 when it gets released by upstream.
Development of end-user-software should be based on wxwidgets2.8.
wxwidgets2.9 could be part of a wxwidgets-unstable package only
available in Debian/sid, but this is unlikely to happen and it would
mean that desurium could never join Debian/testing.
CEF:
I don't know CEF but you should try to contact CEF-upstream and let them
merge the changes needed for desurium.
Having libcef and libcef-desura would mean code duplication which should
be avoided if possible.
Since libcef does not exist on Debian or Ubuntu it might be possible to
include the changes in a "libcef" package if they would brake no other
packages using libcef.
cURL:
If possible add c-ares support into upstreams curl.
If not include a patch in Debians curl package.
If that patch would break things, fork curl or remove dependency on
c-ares from desurium.
Forking means code duplication means worse maintainability.
