| gerry_ | Hi I have written a desktop app in java and packaged it in to a .deb I have uploaded it to the debian-mentors but had no reply to sponser it would submitting it to Motu be a good alternative? | 09:18 |
|---|---|---|
| geser | finding a motu sponsor probably won't get easy either | 09:20 |
| gerry_ | ok the only other alternative I suppose it to make it into a snap | 09:26 |
| gerry_ | *is | 09:27 |
| highvoltage | gerry_: have you tried the #debian-mentors channel? and please share the link to the package on mentors. | 09:27 |
| highvoltage | ah I guess it's highlighterpdf id you're gerry webster | 09:28 |
| gerry_ | yes thats it | 09:28 |
| highvoltage | gerry_: I've had good success recently filing RFS (request for sponsorship) bugs, but it's a good idea to make sure your package is lintian clean first | 09:29 |
| highvoltage | gerry_: for now it has some big problems, for example, it contains a prebuild java object | 09:29 |
| highvoltage | gerry_: it's probably a good idea to work through those problems one by one and ask for specific assistance where you need it | 09:30 |
| gerry_ | ok thank you for your reply | 09:30 |
| gerry_ | it only came up with something from lintian when I made it unstable to be able for the upload to work | 09:31 |
| highvoltage | gerr<tab> | 09:33 |
| gerry_ | hi highvoltage was trying to give me some advice on uploading my program to debian-mentors are you still here? | 09:48 |
| highvoltage | still here | 09:48 |
| highvoltage | gerry_: so, your source package must contain the source code for highlighterpdf. and should build the .jar file for your binary (.deb) package | 09:49 |
| gerry_ | oh good sorry about that got interrupted. so the classes etc in netbeans not all bundled in a jar file? | 09:51 |
| highvoltage | gerry_: yep. | 09:51 |
| gerry_ | oh ok I will start again I have had so many problems over something that seems so simple I have felt like giving up thank you for your help | 09:53 |
| highvoltage | gerry_: I'd suggest going through https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debmake-doc/ch04.en.html just to get the basic concepts right. otherwise, it might be helpful looking at source packages of other java projects, and if you ask specific questions here or on #debian-mentors and you hang around long enough, then you should get good answers | 09:55 |
| gerry_ | ok thank you I will | 09:56 |
