Create PPA or request for debian repo. adding

[mbnoimi]

May you please create a PPA for Ubuntu based distros OR make a request for adding Natron to debian repositories?

[MrKepzie]

We do not provide a PPA currently, we should make a request then. If someone could do it, that would help.

We don't have time for this, but I guess anyone with a little bit of Debian knowledge could help on this task. Anyone willing to help?

I can probably make a debian package (I already made rpm support for CentOS/RHEL/Fedora, but didn't send the files upstream). Don't have any experience with ppa. I can also get Natron included in the BSD ports/pkgsrc, and probably Slackware and Archlinux.

Note that if/when Natron is included in mainstream distros you will get many different versions floating around, that could making the debuging harder. Also note that some distro only update software on major versions (if say Debian 8 includes Natron 1.2, then they will not include 2.x before Debian 9 (several years later). etc etc.

But again, this is something to be discussed after v2.

We now support RPM/DEB on releases, will add repo support in a later version.

[olear]

We now have an APT repository.

Add repository:

sudo echo “deb https://downloads.natron.fr/Linux/releases/apt stable main” > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/natron.list
wget https://downloads.natron.fr/Linux/GPG-KEY
sudo apt-key add GPG-KEY

Update:

apt-get update

Install:

apt-get install natron

Only tested on Ubuntu, but should work on any distro with apt as package manager.

Thanks for your work.
Two things:

• sudo echo ... > ... does not work, see e.g. https://serverfault.com/questions/540492/sudo-echo-bla-etc-sysctl-conf-permission-denied
• I had to remove the quotation marks in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/natron.list, otherwise I would get the error "type »“deb« in line 1 of ... is not known"

Note that the repo for RPM and DEB are currently shutdown (well, they still exists but are not updated and the package manager will get a 404 when trying to download the actual package), the packages are still available, but you must download them manually from https://natron.fr/download.

This is related to the download modifications on the website.

[Theverat]

Strange, it worked for me after I applied the changes described in my comment.
But maybe it's an outdated version, it says 2.0.5. I'm not sure what's the current one, I'm a newcomer to Natron.

to you really see manual download as an improvement? :(

Find a Ppa maintainer, or do it youtself. and voila.We have no time to maintain these.Reminder: natron is open source.

Find a Ppa maintainer, or do it yourself.

IOhannes has already articulated his willingness to maintain this application for the debian community.
please, support him!
