Bug#918702: ITP: nvtop -- Interactive NVIDIA GPU process monitor
Hi Maxime,
Thanks! I reviewed the code and performed some sanity tests, and
found a new problem (in a clean chroot):
| CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-3.13/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:137 (message):
| Could NOT find Curses (missing: CURSES_LIBRARY CURSES_INCLUDE_PATH)
| Call Stack (most recent call first):
| /usr/share/cmake-3.13/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:378 (_FPHSA_FAILURE_MESSAGE)
| cmake/modules/FindCurses.cmake:245 (FIND_PACKAGE_HANDLE_STANDARD_ARGS)
| CMakeLists.txt:46 (find_package)
the curses dev package is not present in Build-Depends field.
I've added libncurses-dev to depends and started a new build test here:
http://debomatic-amd64.debian.net/distribution#unstable/nvtop/1.0.0-1/buildlog
Or it's recommended to use ncursesw instead of ncurses? No need to
upload to mentors again if adding libncurses-dev looks good to you.
And I overlooked something when recommending you to add the Vcs-* fields
to the control file. They are supposed to point at the packaging
repository (which holds the debian directory and tracks changes within
it) instead of the upstream source code repo.
For example, https://salsa.debian.org/nvidia-team/nvtop could be a good
place for holding the packaging repo, which could be filled in to the
Vcs-* fields. Anyone could register an account on Debian's Salsa
service. If you are interested in this, please create an account there
and I'll grant you necessary write permissions. If you don't want to
do it now, or think it's not necessary, please feel free to ignore
the Vcs-* stuff.
