=== JanC is now known as Guest8694 === JanC_ is now known as JanC [10:04] 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] meson to deb tutorial I could follow, and since I couldn't find anything on google, I'm asking here. any clue? thanks. [10:08] did you consider making a snap package instead ? https://snapcraft.io/docs/reference/plugins/meson [10:17] will make a flatpak further down the road [10:17] well,up to you [10:19] 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] not really... depends on the ditro you are on [10:21] in any case i wasnt suggesting flatpack vs snap but 1 snap vs 20 debs for 20 target distros and their different versions [10:30] 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 [11:05] 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 [11:06] sure, that totally a personal choice ... === hyperair is now known as Guest76857
