Request: Provide a PPA for Debian/Ubuntu #323
Comments
A snap package would also be useful. I've looked a little bit, but I couldn't find anything Edit: And it would be usable across all distros. So it wouldn't just be for Ubuntu users |
I agree - it would be great. However, I'm personally not going to set this up and/or maintain it (see also #50 #31 #317 #287). I have looked into creating a PPA in the past, but gave up after some time. If someone wants to set up a PPA (and maintain it), I'm happy to include instructions in the README.
please see #241. |
Alright. Sorry about that. Thanks! |
Will maintaining a ppa make me a debian maintainer? Like I am trying to get a package to maintain at the debian repositories(or ppa, I just want to contribute 😄), and I am reading about it, so if you would like to I can take this up, with a bit of your help that is 😅 |
I have made the PPA, it isn't live yet, just a progress report, and hey @sharkdp(!!Noob question alert!!) do I need to make the package again? Or will the packages given on the releases page would work? |
The Debian packages on the release page are hopefully "Ubuntu-compliant", but I really don't know how PPAs work, so I'm the wrong person to ask. |
Well I have almost figured it out I guess, yep they should be compliant, and I hope I have it done by the weekend 😅 |
Hey there everyone, this is another heads up, not too good though 😅 I have exams going on which would probably end by the next week, please be patient till then, I really want to make this ppa and I am sorry if I am causing trouble to anyone 😅 |
So tomorrow is my last exam, I will be on it tomorrow ASAP thank you everyone for the patience! |
Hi @BK1603 what happend with the Debian package, I also want to create a Deb package. |
@h3ct0rjs Well the debian packages are there on the releases pages too but I have to repackage everything because launchpad doesn't except .deb files, they need the source tar ball and they will compile it themselves, so I am acutally packaging it but I really do not get a lot of time these days 😅 So the work is going on kinda slow 😅 I will try and complete it by today, and if I am not able to, I will let you know and you can do it 😄 UPDATE: |
Any news? I'd love to install from a ppa! |
Hi everybody, due to lot's of work I won't be able to complete the task if it's there anybody else to take this one It would be great. Thanks in advance, |
Anyone here with experience in setting up PPAs? |
Little workaround script for the meantime to get the latest version for ubuntu anytime: https://gist.github.com/steinwaywhw/a4cd19cda655b8249d908261a62687f8#gistcomment-2989645 |
Many thanks to @helen-fornazier @paride @sylvestre and everyone else involved! While that doesn't provide an immediate solution to this issue (or is there a way to use these packages right now?), this hopefully means that, eventually, there will be no need for a PPA. |
\o/ @sharkdp the |
nice thanks for share @dvergeylen |
A This is already documented in the README. |
The above returns an error at the time I'm writing this See https://packages.ubuntu.com/groovy/bat instead |
@3nuc You give no information to what the error is. |
Hi, |
Not sure what you are talking about: |
Come on. Real end users use 12 and 13, not unstable. |
you can:
|
That's not user-friendly.
That doesn't allow automated updates.
The last release is already two months old. |
Hi, A few months ago, I started developing a tool named dynapt to automatically fetch updates through APT for packages that don't provide an APT repository. As I've been upgrading bat through it for quite some time now, I just published my first pre-release of it, which you can download and set up from this tutorial. For bat specifically, replace the following configuration line : "apps": [] With the following : "apps": [
{
"name": "bat",
"github": {
"repo": "sharkdp/bat",
"filter": "bat_*amd64*"
}
}
] But also change For questions or issues, please submit a comment on the tutorial page. Thanks |
pretty cool @KaKi87 . |
Providing a PPA would be an awesome way to gain more users. Personally I usually don't install a .deb alone, unless is sets up its own repository, such that I will get updates automatically.
