Build Debian Package

[umlaeute]

i haven't done a formal "ITP" yet, but have plans to create (official) Debian packages for SSR.
in the meantime, please follow this guide to make packaging easy (esp. please don't create a /debian folder)

[umlaeute]

btw, i now have done a formal ITP and the debian package is in the make (not uploaded yet)

[mgeier]

Great, thanks!

[umlaeute]

the package has been rejected by Debian's ftp-masters, and i'm now working on fixing all the issues.

one of the questions raised was the following, which i forward to you :-)

Can you please explain how I can build ssr-0.4.1\data\MacOSX\run-ssr.scpt?

that is: do you have human-readable sources for this applescript? or have you created the script in a fire-and-forget fashion? or can apple's native AppleScriptEditor edit these binary files?

[mgeier]

This file can be directly edited with the AppleScript editor.
The reason why this wasn't a text file in the first place, is that the script can store state, namely the choice of renderer which was used previously.

I replaced the binary file with its text alter ego and added a line to the installation process where the text file is compiled into a binary AppleScript.

Is it OK now?

[umlaeute]

thanks. i'm still arguing with ftp-masters that the .scpt file is indeed source code.

anyhow, having the text-version will definitely make it easier in the future (btw, do you plan any new releases in the near future?)

[mgeier]

We normally make releases whenever we feel like it, so we don't really have a schedule.
If it helps for the Debian package, I can make a new release anytime, just tell me.

soundscaperenderer has been accepted into Debian!

i guess you can close this issue (and related ones)

[mgeier]

That's great, thanks a lot for creating the package!
