Packaging & Distribution

Fum is part of nixOS unstable. Can you add it in the readme?

On the other hand, is there any other way to handle releases? You do several releases per day, and they are hard to maintain in repositories like AUR, pacman, nixpkgs.

nice! will do!

Im currently looking at solutions that makes use of github workflow to automatically release on distros, But im just unsure. If you know one let me know

I'm not sure about the releases, but I'll leave you my opinion. Maybe we should turn this issue into a “discussion”. I'll leave you my opinion below:

I think a good way is to keep a weekly release. On the one hand have a dev branch (so that the user who wants the latest changes regarding git, can do the build). On the other hand, the weekly release, and if an urgent or emergency change is needed (fix and so on) can be handled with the releases as well.

You can also handle pre-releases, so that the user can use the binary or whatever he likes (.deb, binaries, etc.).

I really like the overall approach of this. I think this is what i would go for.

As for the pre-releases, i think im gonna hold into this one as i would like to keep everything as simple as possible.

i know i said that i will do releases per week but i can't just stop releasing 🤪 my bad.

anyway i think ill be actually doing this weekly release and will now be packaging it on other distros once fum hits v1 which should just be around the corner.

Along with fum's binary being on files in the release page. it will now also have .deb and .rpm.

I installed the rpm file attached in the release section in my opensuse tumbleweed and run fum in my terminal but I am getting command not found error. Am I missing something? Thanks in advance.

[qxb3]

can you send here the exact error?

I installed the rpm like shown below but when I try to run it I am getting command not found error.

⚡➜ sudo zypper in ./fum-x86-64_v0.9.17.rpm

Looks like it isn't properly installed somehow.

@Besufikad17 i investigated this a bit and can you confirm that you have the binary in /target/release?

it looks like its being installed there.

@Besufikad17 can you try out the latest version? v1.0.1
