Coolio, thanks for the explanations! So, I guess we should package psychopy-app package. I guess to stay more inline with your naming convention we should keep calling it 'psychopy-app' while making current 'psychopy' source package produce both 'python3-psychopy' and 'psychopy' binaries with latter depending on 'psychopy-app'. This way users would would keep installing "full" 'psychopy' would get both python package (python3-psychopy) and the GUI. > Happy to jump on a call if that would help to clarify. I think we got it clear. Now just someone needs to do it... Anyone from debian-med has spare cycles or token? PS unlike during COVID, I find it difficult to squeeze beer through the zoom. Hope to cross paths in real life some time again. May be next https://www.distribits.live (plans for 2027 one are starting to form!)? Cheers, -- Yaroslav O.
