Tuxedo Control Center and SysVInit [Solved]

[SwampRabbit]

@Vanitarium I didn't get the mention notification, I guess cause you added the : to the end there.

As far as progress, not much has been made except some hunting and looking deeper at their .deb.
Currently working on too many things in real life and for MX right now.

Please feel free to talk with Tuxedo, that would be wonderful and if they are responsive and want to help that would definitely speed things up a lot.

The source code is here:
https://github.com/tuxedocomputers/tuxe ... rol-center
So that is great.

What is missing is the "Debianization" or Debian Source Folder/Files.
Mainly the specific "control" and "rules" files are the biggest if they can produce or create them.
These two files usually are where any nuances are missed and needed.

We could do this, but it takes a bit of work digging through everything they have and fully understanding how the package is and how it needs compiled (built). Its an Electron app it seems, usually they aren't too much trouble, but then again you never know right away.

They know their applications best, so it is really helpful when provide at least the full list of actual Build & Runtime Dependencies.
From their GitHub, looks like we can work it out, but what is listed isn't always exactly right.

If I remember right tuxedo-control-center needs a few other tuxedo packages from last time I looked, so those would need "Debianized" as well.

Like I said, we can do this work, but it's gonna take longer (if its waiting solely on me right now at least).

And thanks for being willing to go the extra mile on this, I am sure our users who own Tuxedo computers will be very thankful!

Do you know that the tcc is on the Arch AUR repo here?

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/tuxe ... ol-center/

I have contacted Tuxedo today via their support system and shall post their reply here (or via PM).
Thanks for your encouragement. I hope we can make some progress towards a deb package!!
Thanks for dedicating your developer skills to MX!

[SwampRabbit]

Cool, thanks. Yes I already scoped out all the other packages made by other distros. I think the only thing I haven’t done is searched Ubuntu PPAs yet. But typically if a package hasn’t been Debianized already, no one would have created a PPA for something like this if there is already an official.dev.

is all this thing need is an init script?

we could just package the init script. which is far less of a job.

[Vanitarium]

Well here is a bit of tuxedo stuff on Ubuntu:

https://deb.tuxedocomputers.com/ubuntu/pool/main/t/

Sorry but I am too ignorant to know if these help at all!
Hope they do.....

No sir, it’s actually an application that is part of a suite of applications.

We could add an entry to MXPI I suppose to pull their .debs and install an init script. But they have multiple components to it as dependencies from what I saw.

Oh and while MXPI popular apps can do just that sort of thing, it’s up to you if you want to add an entry for something like this in there.

@SwampRabbit
After a long wait I got this back from Tuxedo Computers:

Dear Mr. *****,

thanks for pushing TUXEDO in the MXLinux forums!

For packaging it might be the easiest way to just (re-) use our DEB package. This would save you from the hassle of "debinanization". If people willing to package it have questions it might be good to just open an issue on Github.

Thanks again for your efforts!

By the way I found a python script to convert systemd to SysVinit here:

https://github.com/akhilvij/systemd-to- ... -converter

Is it still just the one piece mentioned in e.g. post #10 you need for getting the "Tuxedo Control Center" running in Sysvinit? If yes, we can do it just as we do now for other "3rd party" populare apps, where we now use sysd2v converter. FWIW, sysd2v script is now available comes with mx-packageinstaller/mx-packageinstaller-pkglist as we use it already for some and intend to use it for more as long as it provides a working init-script.
