Request: "A Widget Factory"

[luigifab]

Hello everybody!

I'm the upstream and packager of awf-extended for gtk2, gtk3 and gtk4, the successor of awf.
I tried to push the package into Debian, but it's so slow... (tracker), and they don't accept gtk2.

In 21.x there is an old version perhaps imported from a ppa?

Is there a way for me to push deb packages into MX Linux? with dput?
2.8.0-1~mx19+1 serie mx / 2.8.0-1~mx21+1 serie mx / 2.8.0-1~mx23+1 serie mx

We only accept packages from approved packagers, but it's not too hard to get approval. We don't have any sort of automation such as dput set up, though Adrian has some sort of automated build system set up using the openSUSE Build Server's Debian support.

I found your github source, and your provided debian folders. It's possible to generate all three different gtk2, gtk3, and gtk4 packages in one build if the release supports it, such as in Bookworm, then just comment out and disable whatever isn't supported in that release. That seems to be the preferred Debian way.

[luigifab]

Ok.

Yes I can create one build.
I have created three different packages to avoid problem with distro A v1 doesn't provide gtk4, distro B v2 doesn't allow gtk2...
=> one package build

Do you have a link to find out how to get approval?

[luigifab]

Sorry for this msg.
Ping?

[Stevo]

Yes, we can add you to the development team, since you're also the Debian maintainer for awf. You'd just have to send your public key to @timkb4cq, then a PM with a link to a zip on Google Drive with the sources and signed packages. That's the clunky way we've been doing it, not having dedicated build servers, though I think @Adrian has a system using the OBS to build packages and then automatically get them.

I see you have 2.8.0 in upstream Debian and bookworm-backports, so congratulations!

awf-gtk (A Widget Factory) is now available in the main MX-23 & MX-21repos.
There are versions for Gtk 2, 3, & 4 for MX-23, Gtk 2 & 3 for MX-21. And they can coexist if you are working on Widgets for multiple Gtk versions.

thank you all, very nice.
Minimum window height doesn't fit on my 1366x768 screen, but I can live with that. I like the css popups.
Has already helped me find a few bugs in the theme I'm working on...
