Question

broken packages

xtronics opened this issue 5 years ago · comments

For Debian - even the ubuntu package no longer works. Any hope of a normal Debian package? - don't really want to go back to e3...

The idea is a simple text editor - don't really want to learn all about ruby.. ruby on debian is at 2.5

Hi. Thanks for your interest in Diakonos. I don't know when I'll have time to get to this. The previous Debian/Ubuntu package had someone else maintaining it. Right now, I can't even find the package in the Debian package repo, so I don't have something to reference to try to fix. If you could find the old package code, it would help me.

I am sorry if diakonos has not found a maintainer, it was not a difficult package to maintain, but I am a vim and doom emacs user, though I liked its simplicity diakonos is not something I used and I never was much of a code packager, (more into developing software of personal interest, as perhaps you might be Pistos?). I hope it gets attended to. Thanks, Ralph There should be links somewhere to my previous reply, and somewhere to the debian list On Tue, Mar 22, 2022 at 2:09 PM Pistos ***@***.***> wrote: CC @ralph-amissah

Re: What happened to diakonos on Debian?

I orphaned the package a few years ago now, hoping at the time it would be picked up for maintenance by someone with the interest and time the comment made at the time remains true:

Thus will is dropping from ubuntu and other distributions Ralph Amissah ***@***.***> or Ralph Amissah <

is still listed as maintainer - but it appears the package is orphaned.

Indeed the package was/is orphaned as explained above, as no one picked it up (to take over maintenance) at the time I ceased to do so. This should not stop anyone with an interest in doing so from packaging Diakonos and seeking to get it in Debian again.

Thanks for your reply anyway, Ralph, and for the time you spent on the Diakonos package in the past.

@xtronics As of recently, Diakonos can now be installed via RubyGems. Try this:

gem install diakonos

The README.md instructions need updating - for Debian and related:
apt-get install libncurses5-dev ruby-dev - should include ruby-curses

apt-get install libncurses5-dev ruby-dev ruby-curses

gem install diakonos
