Subject: Debian package for UADE

Hello,

I have made a debian package for UADE. This is my first package, so I 
don't know if the work is good... but two of my friends have tested it, 
and said it work fine. I have seen you havn't got any .deb of UADE, 
so ...

You can find the binary package here: 
http://3mor3j.info/debian/dists/unstable/main/binary-i386/uade_1.03_i386.deb

... here is the previous version:
http://3mor3j.info/debian/dists/unstable/main/binary-i386/uade_1.02-1_i386.deb

hope it will help :)

Ciao,

Jérôme

Any chance of updating this Debian package for uade 2.07 ?

And eventually this could then go into the debian tree.

I'm afraid that is not possible. uade package contains amiga binaries that are not licensed properly, so a correct Debian version would have to be crippled beyond usefulness. All the native code is licensed properly, but many Amiga binaries are not. Are you willing to give up Sound/Noise/Protracker support? I think not.

There must be an intelligent workaround that could be implemented.

What if the files required to create a Debian package were added to uade ?

That way, some instructions could be added for what to do, to build your own Debian packages, when the source has been downloaded.

I am talking hypothetically here, as i've never built a Debian package before, but i'm sure there is someone here for has more experience.

How would developers feel about this ? :-) Please, please [Hope..Hope..] :)

The intelligent workaround is that someone creates a package source for UADE, and maintains that.

Please consult Morgoth ( http://morgoth.free.fr/ubports/ ), we can certainly include Debian/Ubuntu specific files into official UADE distro. Then submit me something, I'm not doing the work..

Anyway, as a developer, I hope you will use the latest Git version ;)
