pivy 0.6.2

Hi @looo.

I am not involved in FreeCAD packaging/PPA effort anymore but following this procedure should get you there:

https://tribaal.io/very-simple-debian-package.html

Steps like creating a .deb package, signing it, uploading it to PPA ... are explained in a short and straightforward fashion.

thanks for the information.
Also this approach doesn't give much success...

libsoqt-4 and libsimage is definitely available on my machine. No idea why these are "non sattisfied dependencies"...

And did you also install them?

[looo]

thanks, I thought it will pull the dependencies automatically...

Next problem...

Code: Select all

cp: Aufruf von stat für 'NEWS' nicht möglich: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
dh_installdocs: cp --reflink=auto -a NEWS debian/python-pivy/usr/share/doc/python-pivy returned exit code 1

That's of course not possible because this would require the build script to run as root/sudo.

Next problem...

The file docs in the debian directory expects this list of files

Code: Select all

NEWS
README
HACKING
THANKS
docs/ruby-inventor.txt

In the original pivy source tree they are all there: https://bitbucket.org/Coin3D/pivy/src

[looo]

These files should be in the zipped archive. Is the compression type a problem (tar.gz)? originally it was a bzip2...

And where is the archive (pivy.tar.gz)?

I have this only locally. It is this file:
https://github.com/looooo/pivy/archive/v0.6.1-0.tar.gz

Note that in .dsc file under Build-Depends dependency python-support changed to dh-python in Ubuntu 16.04 and python-support isn't available anymore. As for:

Next problem...

It looks like you are using debuild command but you only extracted the debian folder. You need to extract the source too.

The source or the compiled/installed files?

Sorry for my dumb questions, but all I know about debian packaging is that is difficult...
