Hello, The upcoming CPack 2.6 generates .deb and .rpm packages natively.
Would it be appropriate to give Debian/Ubuntu/etc and Red Hat/Suse/etc packagers access to the KDE repository and have them modify the CPack stuff so that it's easier for them to package for their distributions? Distribution-specific packaging information could be included in the CMakeLists.txt with variable definitions, for instance: ... [generic CMakeLists.txt/CPack stuff] ... IF( DEBIAN ) ... ENDIF( DEBIAN) IF( UBUNTU ) ... ENDIF( UBUNTU ) I think that would make life easier for downstream packagers. The other options are: - they maintain their own CPack stuff on their own repository, totally unrelated to KDE - they keep packaging as they have done until now, as if CPack 2.6 cannot properly package .deb and .rpm Is there a kde-packagers mailing list where packagers from different distributions are subscribed? That would be the best place to discuss this -- Pau Garcia i Quiles http://www.elpauer.org (Due to my workload, I may need 10 days to answer) _______________________________________________ Kde-buildsystem mailing list [email protected] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-buildsystem
