[DOWNLOAD] Packages of Code::Blocks in your linux distro
takeshimiya:
Would it be difficult to make these packages available in official repositories?
Neumann:
Right now? yes, probably.
I'm not an official Debian Developer so I cannot upload the package right away in the repository. I would need a sponsor, a Debian Developer willing to check and upload my packages for me.
That's a semi-easy task to find a sponsor, but once you find one, he is more or less the boss of you. He willl request to fix the errors and warnings and might request a reorganization of the package if he judges it necessary since he is the one that got the upload power. I've got not time and little intereste to go throught that. Frederico (or somebody else), might want to do that in the near future but that will probably take a while.
In Ubuntu case: I think the Debian unstable repository is periodically synched with the Dapper universe repository. That means once the package entered Debian, you get Ubuntu for free. I don't know how to get a package to enter the official, non-universe, Ubuntu repository.
takeshimiya:
Ok, lot's of struggle for making available in the debian repository.
So, there is any possibility to find an official debian developer willing to be the mantainer of the package?
I have the same question for other distros, as I think it would be more easy to find an official mantainer starts to deliver the package, rather than having an unofficial mantainer having approved the package.

I might have made it sound worse than it is :D It's not that bad for somebody who is motivated, but, like I said, I've got little time for that.

I think in most case, you'll get the same "no time" answer for most developers. I think the best, most reliable way to proceed is to first get a sponsor to verify and upload the package, and only then post a Request for Adoption. I think DDs are much more enclined to adopt a package that has already been checked a proven worthy of being uploaded. Caring for the package still takes time, but I think a Code::Blocks package will be low-maintenance for a while, maybe until it gets more plugins and documentation and such...

Okay, so you can call me a newb here if youd like. But i just got my linux box up and running, i really like codeblocks, and i would like to run it under FC4, but the rpm package at the top of this post's link is bad. I was just wondering what you would suggest. Thanks for humoring me. I am somewhat new to linux and this is the first time ive used fedora.
