Hans,
are the 'upstream' and 'pristine-tar' naming conventions of debian?
do you have branches for the tarballs?
What is a pristine-tar ?
I'd like to learn the packaging stuff, so I will try to go through
the process myself. Maybe I can solicit your help every now and
then, if possible.
We need to think however about the versioning and the SONAME of the
.so files. Any ideas on how this will (or should) work? I have the
SONAME set to libpd.so.0 for now. I think that fits. If there are
ABI changes, we can up it to libpd.so.1
-august.
Cool, I think this then means that libpd bindings for python, etc. can be also packaged up. Once this package is ready, I'm happy to take it thru the Debian submission process via pkg-multimedia and get it into Debian. Or even better, you can easily do it yourself via pkg-multimedia and start the process of becoming some kind of Debianista (Debian Maintainer or Debian Developer).
One detail about which files go into which git repo: libpd.pc should definitely be in the official libpd repo, but the debian/ files generally should not. They key part is to not include the debian/ files in the official tarball. But packaging is much easier if the upstream tarballs are imported and everything is done in the git- buildpackage workflow with 'upstream' and 'pristine-tar' branches.

okay, here is a test package of the libpd git repo.
I think it would be safe to merge the Makefile and the libpd.pc into upstream.
please have a look:
https://launchpad.net/~august-alien/+archive/ppa

I suggest you stick to the central repository of libpd because you can expect it to be actively maintained and documented. If other repositories contain material that you'd like to see in the main branch, you can create a merge request at Gitorious. Cheers, Peter

well, I just made my first PPA. It's waiting to build on launchpad.
I have the Makefile copy pd.pc to libpd.pc. libpd.pc is then installed instead of pd.pc
Not sure if I should be using the aalex repo or not. What are the differences?
I don't think the API needs to be fixed for this personal package. ...however, maybe for official submission to debian or ubuntu.
best -august.
I agree that we should provide a libpd.pc. Let's aim to fold this into
the
main branch of the libpd repository. If the PPA ends up using code from aalex, let's merge that into the main branch as well.
A related question is whether this is the time to declare the libpd API finished, but that's a discussion that we should probably take to pd-everywhere. Cheers, Peter
