This page describes the steps you need to follow when packaging Gamma for a distro. These are distribution-independent instructions and you are also suggested to follow any guidelines laid down by the distro maintainers.
Gamma is written in python, and all that is required to run it is to clone the repository and execute ./bin/gamma
. A setup.sh
file is included to let users easily copy icons/desktop files onto their system locations so that they can launch Gamma from their preferred application launcher or desktop environment.
Many users prefer installing applications from their distro repositories as it makes updating/removing application easier.
Refer to setup.sh
to see the files that need to be copied on to the user's system. Apart from the steps in setup.sh
, the following steps need to be followed while packaging. Make sure you follow any other instruction/guideline set by your distro maintainers.
