Ubuntu packages about abricotine

[brrd]

Hi, .deb is definitely planned, such as Windows installers.
However I belive that a PPA would be too difficult to maintain now (although I would love it too).

Hello,

just tried to create a Debian package for my Ubuntu software site getdeb.net.

Unfortunately, I fail at building the package.
Never built a JS package before actually.

Can someone tell me what is going wrong here?

Don't tell me first ALL of this needs to be packaged :O

Why don't you create the deb from the linux x64 prebuild binary?

All those dependencies are node modules, they are packaged in the app when you build it. Not to be confused with deb dependencies.

You may find interesting information in Electron documentation.

[ckorn]

Is there also a x86 prebuild binary?

[brrd]

@ckorn Yes, it's the ia32 release. But we still have issues with this build. See #6.

If you make a Flatpak package (#78), making a .deb is not needed since Flatpak work across distro.
