Irrlicht in debian? (spanish/english)

[sir_gon]

Hola,

Soy usuario linux ( debian/ubuntu). Hace poco aprendí a empaquetar en .deb, entonces se me ocurrio que ¿porque Irrlicht no está en alguna distro?

Entre otras cosas, empaquete irrlicht, pero no tengo un repositorio donde subirlo.

Me gustaría saber que opinan. Si no hay inconveniente, me puedo encargar del empaquetado y averiguar que se debe hacer para entrar en alguna distro.

Hi, i'm linux user (debian/ubuntu). Recently time I learned to pack in .deb,
then it was happened to me that, why Irrlicht is not in some distro?


Among other things, it packs irrlicht, but I do not have repositorio where to upload it.

I would like to know that they think. If there is no disadvantage, I can be ordered of the packed one and be found out that one is due to make to enter some distro.

Before submitting the files to some distro you should contact the development team and provide a publically available package file for testing. This reduces the amount of support requests (and we know better about the technqiues). But yes, it ok to put it into distros.

Translation:
Antes de someter los achivos al distro, debes contactar al equipo de desarrollo del distro y proveer un archivo, disponible publicamente, para probarlo. Esto reduce la cantidad de pedidos de apoyo (y aprenderiamos mejor sobre las técnicas.) Pero sí, está bien el ponerlo en distros.

gracias por acoger mi sugerencia, igual me gustaría saber con quien debo contactar (dentro del staff) para hacer saber esto.

sería muy comodo instalar irrlicht con un simple:

Code: Select all

apt-get install libirrlicht libirrlicht-dev

En cualquier caso, probablemente no pueda hacer nada hasta que empiece marzo, pero dejo la sugerencia para que otros (si yo no puedo hacerme cargo mientras) puedan hacerse cargo.

In any case, probably it cannot do nothing until March begins, but I leave the suggestion so that others (if I cannot take care of the subject while) can take care of it

Hi,

Irrlicht has already have an ITP as I know, maybe a DD will do it...

To do an official Debian package, you need sponsorship of an official Debian dev. and go through a lot of step.

Do you know does the official Ubuntu package need as many steps?

What do you mean ?
If it's about official packaging process, I don't know how it is done on Ubuntu, but I guess they are enough smart to just rebuild official Debian package with adjusted package version string.
But according to packaging doc (example: https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/pac ... index.html), anyone could contribute to ubuntu package and all things are reviewed then (maybe) incorporated in official repository with enough time.

I mean that i would imagine that getting "Official Debian Package" stamp would be harder than getting "Official Ubuntu Package" status (after sending the package to be reviewed).

Anyway, I have no idea about the reviewing process so this is just speculation.
