Title:
(FR) Offer PPA site for Ubuntu users
Status in RevAger:
New
Status in RevAger 1.4 series:
New
Bug description:
Launchpad offers the option to offer our distribution also as an PPA
site for Ubuntu (and maybe also Debian) users. This way, Ubuntu users
can automatically receive updates, as new versions become available.
See this URL for details:
https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA
Of course, realizing this feature would require some maintenance work
as we proceed with new releases, but maybe it's worth the effort.
Maybe there is also a good way to automate it, and to integrate the
necessary steps as a new build target into the existing "build
infrastructure" (currently: /build-revager.xml). In order to implement
this feature, we should also think about these two sub-tasks:
- offer a DEB version of RevAger (includes dependency handling etc.)
- register RevAger in the Application menu (the definition should be included in the DEB)
Normally it's also possible to automatically convert DEB packages to
the RPM standard - which could be done by another build target.
Actually I would suggest not to prioritize this task too high, until
RevAger becomes a bit more mature. This feature would be especially
interesting for our long-term users, but I guess we need to establish
this userbase first :-)
