[Idea] Distribute FZ3 for Linux with "Autopackage"
Well, i think the page explains all advantages better than me!!!
Just have a look! (see FAQ)
http://autopackage.org/

Simple, this is what SuSE users will have to do:
bzip2 -d FileZilla_3.0_src.tar.bz2
tar -xvf FileZilla_3.0_src.tar
cd FileZilla_3.0
./autogen.sh
./configure
make all
make install
Can't be more simple than that. Or they could use Wine and run the Windows binaries of FZ3.
The problem with RPM like distributions like SuSE is getting the dependancies right.
After all, I don't know if I'll ever be able to test any RPMs, binary tarballs or something like that.
I could try to link everything statically, but that would result in one giant executable...
Autopackage looks like an interesting solution, I think I'll try it out sometime.
bzip2 -d FileZilla_3.0_src.tar.bz2
tar -xvf FileZilla_3.0_src.tar
cd FileZilla_3.0
./autogen.sh
./configure
make all
make install

Done that .. but would end up using gFTP or such instead.botg wrote:Or they could use Wine and run the Windows binaries of FZ3.
Hmm I wonder I SuSE (if allowed) would make FileZilla RPM's for example.botg wrote:The problem with RPM like distributions like SuSE is getting the dependencies right.

HURAH! here I was thinking that I would have to write my own ebuild when the time came (something I don't want to have to do, mainly becuase it would involve learning how... which would probably only take looking at a bunch... but really...)
I'm stoked to here that it will be released with my native OS in mind

sounds like a simple shell script downloadable along side FZ3 would be nicebotg wrote: bzip2 -d FileZilla_3.0_src.tar.bz2

*download FZ3 source
*download gimme_FZ3_for_lazy_people <-- a shell script containing above commands
Linux distros integration
IMHO, botg should release as said a src with script to compile/install, and a paquage for the distro he use (the best distro is only the one you know better ).
Other distros like Mandrake, SuSE or whatever will paquage it taking care of dependancies and so on.
As someone request it, a paquager will paquage it

autopackage
I think it's a fantastic idea. The ./configure etcetera crap makes me want to try a filezilla autopackage soon
I really hope that this wish will be fulfilled

Did you already try the nightly builds from http://filezilla-project.org/nightly.php?
It's a simple compressed tarball of the binaries, dependancies are quite minimal, nothing a modern system should already have.

I was just about to start a thread asking the very same thing. Please consider using Autopackage. I'm a Gentoo user too, so I'll have it either way...but I see Autopackage as the future of Linux. Instead of developers having to release a million and one versions (deb,rpm,etc) you can just release one package that will work with all distributions, and the source of course too
