Hi Simon Quiqley, (CC: debian-devel)
I'm trying to figure out how to get the hardinfo2 - release 2.0.12 into
debian repository.
hardinfo2 is a community fork of hardinfo and should continue as
hardinfo package, currently maintained in debian by Simon Quiqley.
Salvo Tomaselli suggested to do ITP - And I would really love a common
platform for developers and debian maintainers along with an easy to
maintain package.
- But the pro's on "#debian-mentors on oftc" are so out of my league. -
I am missing the overview - eg. how to test the debian build system with
packages - do I need a salsa git? - Is this for project maintainers also?
I have made deb source package with the build-in CPack - it has a debian
directory - see
https://github.com/hardinfo2/hardinfo2/releases/tag/release-2.0.12
attachments.
All the binary packages for multiple architectures also work for all
debian (7-13) - see https://hardinfo2.org/github/?latest_prerelease
But according to talk on oftc with sney, this might not be good enough
for debian package building system. So I started doing something like in
your salsa git.
https://salsa.debian.org/tsimonq2/hardinfo/-/tree/master/debian?ref_type=heads
Guess that I have to be a debian maintainer for doing the salsa git?! -
Why does CPack not work with debian build system - could a small script
fix it like:
https://github.com/hardinfo2/hardinfo2/blob/master/tools/create_debian_source.sh
*I have no knowledge about debian distributions building - but if anyone
from debian would help us - _the hardinfo2 community project closes ALL
BUGS in BTS for hardinfo!!_*
- Hoping that could make someone interesting in guiding/helping with
debian repository update of hardinfo to hardinfo2 community edition for
all tested versions (debian 7-13(sid)).
In advance thanx,*

Hi Simon Quigley, Debian Maintainer,
We are rebooting the very nice app called hardinfo as hardinfo2.
- There is no other app like this one, so it deserves a space.
GitHub - https://github.com/hardinfo2/hardinfo2
Project www - https://hardinfo2.org
*Reason for name change:*
- the domain is used for private stuff
- the hardinfo name is unavailable for community
The package is still called hardinfo to allow for upgrading - but
everything else is changed to hardinfo2 for the program name, github
name, homepage, etc.
*We would like a little help upgrading the app in the Debian, if that
is possible.*
Please check out this prerelease - if you could provide feedback for
the package building system, thanx.
https://github.com/hardinfo2/hardinfo2/releases/tag/release-2.0.5pre
In the past every distro released this package with different
compiler settings and dependencies and optional apps, resulting in
poor user experience.
- So putting the packaging into the project should give a common
ground for developers and distro maintainers.
- And due to no release for more than 10 years, a lot of users are
also going to the source code in GitHub - a package is a better way
of helping them.
*
Changes:*
On the prerelease page is also an overview of changes for hardinfo2
versus hardinfo in Debian.
*Status:
*The contributions have almost vanished to zero due to no releases -
but we hope to get the community active now with a new Debian and
Redhat release.
I am working with lpereira, the original app creater, who is busy,
but has agreed to be my backup in case anything happens.
Please include her in all responses, thanx.
*_We still have some work before a release_*, but would like your
feedback on the build/packaging system, etc.
In advance thanx,
