| gabmus[m] | Hello people, I am an Arch user, and I'm trying to build an app I made (gtk+python) for debian into a .deb file for debian and ubuntu. I have already a vm running ubuntu mate 17.10 and I verified that the app builds and runs. I am using the meson build system and I already have all the necessary debian specific files in place (compat, control, copyright, rules, soruce/format). I was wondering if there was a simple | 10:04 |

| gabmus[m] | meson to deb tutorial I could follow, and since I couldn't find anything on google, I'm asking here. any clue? thanks. | 10:04 |
| ogra_ | did you consider making a snap package instead ? https://snapcraft.io/docs/reference/plugins/meson | 10:08 |
| gabmus[m] | will make a flatpak further down the road | 10:17 |
| ogra_ | well,up to you | 10:17 |
| gabmus[m] | ogra_: the whole thing about confinement isn't something I want to play around with right now. besides, flatpaks are easier to work with from a user perspective in my experience | 10:19 |
| ogra_ | not really... depends on the ditro you are on | 10:19 |
| ogra_ | in any case i wasnt suggesting flatpack vs snap but 1 snap vs 20 debs for 20 target distros and their different versions | 10:21 |
| ogra_ | i.e. if i'd package a desktop app today i would simply roll a snap and a flatpack (well, i personally wouldnt do a flatpack, but thats just personal pref.) and not any distro package at all to not have all the deb/rpm/whatever maintenance overhead that brings | 10:30 |
| gabmus[m] | ogra_: I absolutely see your point, but I personally prefer to give the user as many options as possible. I myself almost always prefer a standard package over a snap or a flatpak | 11:05 |
| ogra_ | sure, that totally a personal choice ... | 11:06 |
