Create a binary and/or easy to install packages (.deb, .rpm) about fastqt

[StuntsPT]

As promised, I have compiled from source and everything works on Archlinux.
I have also created a PKGBUILD and fastqt is now available on the AUR.

[dridk]

After testing on arch linux, the new appImage works !!
@StuntsPT could you confirm it ? https://github.com/labsquare/fastQt/releases/download/0.2/fastqt-0.2-linux-x86_64.appimage

[StuntsPT]

Archlinux PKGBUILD updated to v0.2.

[StuntsPT]

@dridk - confirming that the appimage now work on archlinux.
I will also update the PKGBUILD for version 0.2 and report back once it's done.

[StuntsPT]

Haha, funny you should ask. Just saw the release tweet and I was already making it!
Cheers!
And here it is: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/fastqt/

[bokic]

I can help with creating ppa for ubuntu, and windows installer with inno setup.

Just to make sure that those are needed and missing features.

Dridk, what's your thoughts on this?

[natir]

Binary package, rpm, deb, conda maybe windows and mac is plan for 0.2.

[dridk]

I create a AppImage for Linux x86_64
https://github.com/labsquare/fastQt/releases/download/0.1/fastqt-0.1-linux-x86_64.AppImage

@StuntsPT Could you test it and tell me if it works ?

chmod +x fastqt-0.1-linux-x86_64.AppImage
./fastqt-0.1-linux-x86_64.AppImage

[StuntsPT]

Just tried it:

francisco@VoidCaster [23:19:40] [~/Desktop] 
-> $ ./fastqt-0.1-linux-x86_64.AppImage 
This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "xcb"
in "".

Available platform plugins are: xcb.

Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.
[1]    3962 abort (core dumped)  ./fastqt-0.1-linux-x86_64.AppImage

I can't find any packages related to Qt and "xcb" on the Archlinux repositories.
I'll try to compile from source and try to figure it out tomorrow.

[dridk]

@StuntsPT Humm..
This should fix the problem:

  sudo apt-get install libx11-xcb1 

What's your distribution and version :

   lsb_release -a 

[ysard]

@natir Binary package, rpm, deb, conda maybe windows and mac is plan for 0.2.
Hi, working on it soon...

[StuntsPT]

apt-get will not save me here, since I'm on Archlinux.

francisco@VoidCaster [23:46:56] [~] 
-> $ lsb_release -a
LSB Version:	1.4
Distributor ID:	Arch
Description:	Arch Linux
Release:	rolling
Codename:	n/a

I have managed to work around the problem like this:

francisco@VoidCaster [23:54:50] [~/Desktop] 
-> $ export QT_QPA_PLATFORM_PLUGIN_PATH=/usr/lib/qt/plugins/platforms/          
francisco@VoidCaster [23:55:20] [~/Desktop] 
-> $ ./fastqt-0.1-linux-x86_64.AppImage
add font
Cannot mix incompatible Qt library (version 0x50701) with this library (version 0x50700)
[1]    7540 abort (core dumped)  ./fastqt-0.1-linux-x86_64.AppImage

But unfortunately, now I'm mixing different lib versions (my system libs are on a different version from yours) and Qt doesn't like that.
I'll compile from source and let you know how it went until you have a complete, statically linked binary ready (or maybe even consider using a SNAP on 0.2).

[natir]

Thank for this work.

Please make PR in branch master.

[StuntsPT]

You're welcome!
Glad I could help.

[dridk]

@StuntsPT Hi ,
Could you please update the arch repository with the version 0.2 ?

[probonopd]

Hi @dridk where is the code you used to generate the AppImage? Wouldn't it make sense to do in .travis.yml?

[dridk]

I didn't publish the code. I just ran the following line.

    linuxdeployqt fastqt --appimage 

Yes, make it avaible on travis would be greate. Actually, appimage doesn't work on Archlinux. There is something wrong with libxcb. It returns :

This application failed to start because it could not find or load the
Qt platform plugin "xcb"
in "".
Available platform plugins are: xcb.
Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

[probonopd]

Please test the AppImage linked in #50.

[dridk]

@StuntsPT Thanks for your PR. How can I be notify for the link on transfert.sh ?

[probonopd]

@dridk instead of storing AppImage builds temporarily for 14 days each on transfer.sh, you could use GitHub Releases to store the binaries permanently. This way, they would be visible on the Releases page of your project. This is what I recommend. See https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/deployment/releases/. If you want to do this for continuous builds, also see https://github.com/probonopd/uploadtool.

[dridk]

I want to manage release page manually, because I have to play with windows binary too.
But Now I m looking how to make a travis notification with transfer.sh url ..

[probonopd]

Not sure how to do that, but would be interested in it too 👍

[dridk]

@StuntsPT Could you package 0.2.3 for arch ? Just released few minutes ago

[natir]

For the windows installer we use inno setup on appveyor plateform.

ubuntu ppa is a missing feature, if you can make this it's a very good news.

Thanks for your interest on this project.

[bokic]

I will create ppa in the following days.

One question. What git branch I should use?

And be aware that ppa packages will automatically update on a daily basis, when new stuff will be pushed to git.

[dridk]

Master branch is the release branch.
We are working on devel.
So, for the ppa, use the master branch.

[dridk]

@bokic By the way, we have a linux server with labsquare.org domain. And I think @Arkanosis register labsquare into Launchpad.
If you need something ask us

Here it is : https://launchpad.net/~labsquare

[bokic]

My plan was to build the ppa on my personal launchpad account, after which you can clone the ppa to your official launchpad ppa account.

No need for Linux server, since all the process of building and hosting the packages(.deb) will be on launchpad.net, but if you want you can use one.

[dridk]

You can join the team and do it as a labsquare member.
@Arkanosis Could you add us in launchpad ?

I never used launchpad before. I don't know how it works exactly.

[Arkanosis]

Dear @bokic, you're now a member of the labsquare team on Launchpad, as wished by @dridk :)

[bokic]

Another question.

Do you want me to add debian directory inside fastQt github project, or not?

Quick explanation:
Benefits of having debian dir inside project is that other distros that use deb packages(read Debian) might benefit in terms of already having the infrastructure for building deb packages(but, this can be solved with debian git branch).

I personally don't like putting debian dir to project, and believe that best way is how launchpad is doing(by merging the project with bazar repo which contains debian folder)

[dridk]

Do it as you wish. As you said, we can build a debian branch if necessary. So the second choice is good for me.
I removed fastqt ppa.. There was already a "labsquare" ppa avaible. Could we publsih many software into one ppa ?

So, all labsquare application should go there : https://launchpad.net/~labsquare/+archive/ubuntu/ppa

[bokic]

great.

Yes, we can put more than one package on one ppa.

[bokic]

Apparently, Ubuntu didn't include libQt5Charts.so library in Ubuntu 17.04.

I did send needs-packaging launchpad request, so we shall see what will happen.

URL: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1682643

I suggest we wait a-bit to see if they will add the packed soon.

If not, we can try to build it in labsquare PPA.

[dridk]

Oh ? This is strange ... Maybe the reason comes from a license conflict. . Qt is under LGPL and QtCharts under GPL .
As a second choice, we can provide Qt library from labsquare ppa by cloning this one :
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:beineri/opt-qt58-trusty -y

We are using this one on travis https://github.com/labsquare/fastQt/blob/master/.travis.yml

Hi,
Your software is relevant for the Debian Med project [1].
Unfortunately, I don't have enough time to package it :-( but I can help you with the packaging.
If you are interested, you can join the team [2]. We also have an effort to help newcomers [3].

Hi Boris, Thanks, it is a good starting point, but as I said before, currently I don't have enough time to package it. Are you interested in joining the Debian Med team to package it? For inclusion of a package into official Debian repository, you should follow our group policy [1].
