| horsicq | Hello! I want to add my software on github to debian/ubuntu repo. Can anybody help me? | 20:51 |
|---|---|---|
| rbasak | horsicq: see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages. If you have any questions after reading that, then please do ask here. | 20:56 |
| rbasak | You might also consider making a snap of your software, which is generally much easier! | 20:56 |
| rbasak | See https://snapcraft.io/docs/snapcraft-overview for details | 20:57 |
| horsicq | ok. Thanks! | 20:57 |
| horsicq | But I do not know. Is my software good for repos. | 20:58 |
| horsicq | Must I make something or not | 20:58 |
| horsicq | I have read here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages | 21:00 |
| horsicq | oin the #ubuntu-motu channel on irc.libera.chat and talk with the MOTU. It's good to do this early on, to get advice on how to package (avoid common mistakes), to find out if your package is likely to be accepted (before you invest a lot of work in packaging it), and to find mentors willing to sponsor your package or to point you in the right direction. | 21:00 |
| rbasak | I don't understand your question | 21:12 |
| horsicq | I want to add my software to Debian/Ubuntu repo. I have to find out if my package is likely to be accepted (before I invest a lot of work in packaging it). | 21:15 |
| horsicq | So it's written here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages | 21:16 |
| rbasak | If you do it as a snap, then there are no policy requirements and if the packaging is correct then it will be accepted automatically. | 21:31 |
| rbasak | If you want to do it as a deb, then the usual route (as described in that doc I think) is to get the package accepted into Debian, and whether that will happen is up to Debian. Usually it's fine provided that you can find a sponsor for your package and it meets Debian's policy requirements. | 21:32 |
| horsicq | Thanks! I will try it as snap. | 21:35 |
