Create debian package with fpm #686
Conversation

What trouble do you have when building it from source? I don't know what changed in Debian but this worked properly for years.. |
|
I had color handling come out funky when I built from source on a machine running Ubuntu server 20. Weirdly when I copied a binary over that I had built on another machine the colors came out fine. |
|
That's strange. If both methods of building uses the same ncurses library.. dont think its related to the building process. |
I maintain https://salsa.debian.org/math-team/sc-im , what issues do you have? What are the errors? |

Hi, thanks for asking, ItzSwirlz. What happened is that when I built sc-im on a machine with an older version of Ubuntu (18 or 20) I think, but then the colors in sc-im got screwed up so the cursor wasn't visible. Oddly this didn't happen when I built it on another machine and copied it over. I never tried figuring out what caused the issue as I assumed it had something to do with running an older Distro. Do you guys create binary releases over at https://salsa.debian.org/math-team/sc-im ? |

Sorry for late reply!!
Probably an ncurses thing. sc-im was built for Debian unstable (0.8.2); so the libraries will be incompatible. Expect issues. I don't plan to backport the package atm
Probably again, because of libraries, bugs and stuff were better implemented in later updates/releases of ncurses and stuff and works.
We sadly do not, but there are places you can download the raw .deb from. You can download package files built for Ubuntu here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sc-im |
I've been having trouble building sc-im on some machines so wrote a script to build .deb packages with fpm. Creating a PR because having binary releases for sc-im would be really nice. If you choose to merge, probably you will want to update the package info to reflect the original repo as opposed to the fork.
