Ubuntu package

[fransschreuder]

I moved the debian specific files into contrib/ubuntu-debian
Also removed qucs-core/debian (obsolete)
Created a build script for creating the signed source archive in contrib/ubuntu-debian
packages for qucs and qucs-doc have been uploaded to
https://launchpad.net/~fransschreuder1/+archive/ubuntu/qucs/+packages

does this make sense? i mean shouldn't we maintain a qucs package within either the debian pkg-electronics or the debian-science project? won't a package propagate from debian down to all derivatives instead of just ubuntu?

[fransschreuder]

Sure, but as long as it isn't included I am maintaining a PPA
If you know your way into debian, that's also cool.

btw, the debian directories where already in the repository, I just moved them into contrib/debian-ubuntu as requested by Guilherme, also updated the debian files to be compatible with qucs-0.0.19 and cmake

iirc, there was a debian package once. it died from license problems. let me see what i can do. (and don't expect miracles ...)

[fransschreuder]

I think it died because Qt3 was banned from debian. That's when I started porting Qucs to Qt4. Since then there has never been a debian package anymore

[felix-salfelder]

good to know. thanks

If we make adms/verilog-a models optional, it makes it easier to submit it to debian, no?
FYI Bastien was preparing an adms package for debian. I contacted him. Now that the license issues are cleared he will try to get it included into debian.

that's a long way. let't start with the modular symbols for the next release.

he will try to get it included into debian.

\o/

[fransschreuder]

ok, that's good. For now I uploaded a separate adms package to my ppa, it's not included anymore in the qucs debian package

BTW, I just saw that https://github.com/Qucs/qucs/blob/ubuntu-package/contrib/ubuntu-debian/qucs/debian/copyright seems a little outdated, it says Copyright (C) 2004-2005 Stefan Jahn <stefan@lkcc.org>...

...and yes, we have been a bit sloppy about maintaining copyright notices in general...

[guitorri]

@in3otd thank you for the reminder, this is #455 now.

[felix-salfelder]

lets merge this before 0.0.19. as it seems this cleans up the debian directory, which is good.

Are there plans to add to the repository support Ubuntu 16.10 and qucs-0.0.19-rc2 packages?
