i'll wait for them to react.

Cool, it worked! (on excalibur) I had to look inside the DEBBUILD file to see what the dependencies were so I could install them first as root. My user is not in the sudo group. I couldn't find an option for easydeb to print the deps list. Did I miss that, or it doesn't exist?

Also, I found an old version of hot-babe from medibuntu on my hard drive. I installed that on chimaera and there are a couple of differences. The buntu version has a nudity warning in a debconf dialog so you can cancel the install if you think you might be offended; that's missing in the DUR build. And buntu puts it in the Accessories menu instead of the Games menu. Other than that, they seem to be the same. I might need to compile a kernel to get a more thorough test.

You mean build dependencies? just running easydeb (no -s flag) will throw an error with the exact command you need to launch as root. If you are using doas, the root helper can be configured in /etc/easydeb.conf at the end of the file (it uses internally a whitelist of allowed helpers).

I can add warnings. I don't think that's a very good system monitor, it's better in the games category.

The point was, Debian removed it and it is censored left and right. with easydeb, you can go around all that crap. And it's a lot more convenient then building it all your self (now i'll add the warnings and the entire planet can benefit). Also, it's ultra light and decentralized, that's important for distributing.

What or who is LQ and FDN?

LinuxQuestions.org, Forums.Debian.Net.

LQ is fine, though I haven't been there in a while. For some distros (most notably Slackware), it's their primary forum.

That was the same experience I had with regards to the Medibuntu version, except using Daedalus (only had to chase down one obscure dependency). It's also using GTK2, whereas I can see that this reupload (which I did catch earlier, Exponentialmatrix, thank you) is now using GTK3.

first install easydeb https://gitea.com/easydeb/easydeb/relea … 4d_all.deb

git clone the DUR repo you want, go inside, then run "easydeb -s" (-s installs build dependencies). It will build the package, install it the normal way.
