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.
Please check out this prerelease - if you could provide feedback for the package building system, thanx.
We would like a little help upgrading the app in the Debian, if that is possible.
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,
