Ubuntu package

racb
I've put together a quick Ubuntu package for Piano Booster.

https://launchpad.net/~racb/+archive/extra

You can install directly from this page or you can add the repository to keep up to date automatically (I'll try and keep up with releases).

Re: Ubuntu package

Oh wow,
 
Thanks very much

It is probably best if I now take off the Ubuntu/Linux binary from the PB download page and put up a link to your package instead and also to the fedora PB package.

Is there any chance you could change the CMakeLists.txt so that 'make install' works by using the 'install -d' command? I believe that this will also help with the automatic generation of packages for future releases. I can also check into svn the "pianobooster.desktop" file used by the fedora package that may also be required by the Ubuntu package if that will help.
 
I have just posted to the development forum an email that I have received from Christian of the Fedora distribution with some information that may help.  

http://n2.nabble.com/Piano-Booster-fedora-package-td3052003.html

I am very keen to include in the source tree any changes needed to make this process easier next time.


By the way thanks for using the 0.6.2b version as it fixes a bug in 0.6.2. With this version it sounds cleaner without discord when you pause in follow mode.

Are there any instructions need to to be added to the download page to use your package?

Thanks

Louis

I'm not Tim. Did you mean me or someone else called Tim?

> Is there any chance you could change the CMakeLists.txt so that 'make install' works by using the 'install -d' command?

Sorry, I have no idea how cmake works. I just had the package install the built pianobooster binary manually instead of using "make install".

> I am very keen to include in the source tree any changes needed to make this process easier next time.

From my point of view it should be very easy to follow new releases. I can't think of anything I need you to do in particular.

> Are there any instructions need to to be added to the download page to use your package?

There are two options - either a one-off install (easy) or by adding my PPA to your system (complicated, but then the system will automatically track updates).

To just do a one-off install "open up" the pianobooster arrow on the page I linked to and click on the package that corresponds to your own architecture (usually i386, or amd64 for 64-bit). From there you should just be able to follow the prompts.

To add my PPA to your system is a bit long winded as my signing key needs to be added too. There are instructions on the page (provided by launchpad.net) but I think they could be clearer and wouldn't recommend it to users who don't already do this.

Re: Ubuntu package - Karmic 9.10

Hi,
just to let you know, for about the past week, I've been getting no response from the site for the Karmic version, though the site seems to suggest that Karmic is the default versiion. Have I got it wrong in my reading of the site? Follows is the error message that I get from Update.

Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/racb/extra/ubuntu/dists/karmic/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz  404  Not Found
Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

I have just check in a test release for Piano Booster 0.6.4rc I
suggest that you use that package that version instead. The  0.6.4
final may be available some time next week.

Trev,

Could you please see if you can install: https://launchpad.net/~racb/+archive/extra/+files/pianobooster_0.6.2b-1~basak3_i386.deb

or if you are on amd64: https://launchpad.net/~racb/+archive/extra/+files/pianobooster_0.6.2b-1~basak3_amd64.deb

I think it should work in theory. If it does then I will copy the package to Karmic without a rebuild.

Please let me know.

Louis,

It's easier for me to work on the existing package. I'll do the new package once you have a release ready - then I won't have to duplicate any work.

Please tag the new release in tags/PianoBooster once you have it ready like 0.6.2 and 0.6.2b are already. Your tags structure threw git-svn a little last time and I have it configured to look there now  :-)

Confirmed! -- PianoBooster installs, runs and functions in Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala, on a tiny Asus EEE 701 netbook (7 inch screen) with giant Casio WK-8000 synthesiser (88 keys).

Mind you, I needed to do some judicious Alt-Left-Dragging on a non-maximised window to get the essential dialogue boxes to be in view on that little 7 inch, 800 x 480 pixel screen! <grin>  :)

If I maximised the window, I got weird responses to left mouse clicks on menu items (like sudden vanishing of said menus off past the edge of the screen!) but shortcut keys still worked. This is NOT a pianobooster problem, but peculiar to the EEE 701 and its tiny display -- even "System Monitor" window behaves in a similar way, although Rosegarden midi sequencer with its multiple windows is fine (though extremely crowded! )

I needed to run PianoBooster as root or else the "Open File" box was just blank white. Again this is probably normal for all Linux X-windows versions -- I don't know because this is the first time I've used PianoBooster in Linux.

Thanks for getting the Karmic version compiled. I started to do it but it was probably going to be beyond my capabilities to finish the job.

Following is the log from the terminal window for my Pianobooster test session (luckily it doesn't record how bad my piano playing was! <grin>)

Re: Ubuntu package - Karmic 9.10

In reply to this post by Louis B.
Loius,
I cc'd you that email to racb to show that he got a Karmic version compiled before I had time to. Of course, I don't know if it is based on the same source files as those you pointed me to. As I said in that message, compiling from the sources was likely to be beyond my linux noobie capabilities anyway.

Hopefully you won't mind if I put compiling on hold for now ad I want to test the package and intall it on a couple of desktops that I have and use it on a 22 inch 1920 x 1080 screen.

I'm also a moderator of the "WK-Keyboards" yahoo group and if you can let me know when the Karmic version is "available" for download I'll spread the word through the group. I know that there are a number of parents from places like India in the group who want to teach their kids piano and so free piano teaching software running on a free operating system will be enthusiastically taken up, I'm sure.

best regards
Trev

I originally developed PB on a 701 type 'pianobooster -s' on a command
line to get to fit better on your screen. the new version 0.6.4 of PB
runs _much_ better on  Karmic.

Thanks Trev! I've copied the package to Jaunty and Karmic so they should install normally from the PPA for the future now.

OK Luis,

The version I tested this morning on Ubuntu Karmic says it is 0.6.2 and running with the -s switch is pretty good! :)

So how do I get the Karmic version of 0.6.4? Do _I_ need to do that compile that you suggested yesterday or is a release candidate 0.6.4 deb package already done? The deb that you made for own use will do, just for testing purposes as per your rc notes, of course! <grin>

Thanks Carl,
Compiled it and ran on my desktop - seems to work just fine. See my posting in the 0.6.4rc announcement thread
