  • Adds basic debian/ set for packing
  • Built on clean system with Debian Jessie repositories
  • Tested on Debian 8 / SteamOS brewmaster
  • Based off of build script from my repository here
  • Reference package can be found here (packages.libregeek.org

Of course this is optional, but if you'll accept, it may help those who want to make debian packages out of this repository. I wasn't sure to make the category games or utils. That is up for debate of course. I don't have a mentor for upstream Debian, so I cannot push this further.

If debian packaging is not accepted, that is fine. I figured I'd put up a PR to help if not.

Hello,

You're putting me in a tough spot, because I really appreciate the effort you put in, but also am not particularly fond of adding distro-specific packaging to the repository. Could the debian directory perhaps be moved to a packaging/debian sub-directory?

On a sidenote, there was an effort to put python-evdev in debian about two years ago, but it went nowhere:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=709988
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=710103

I hope to look into it again someday, along with the fedora package:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=879740

Python-evdev has also been available in ubuntu for a while now:

http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/python-evdev

Thanks,
Georgi

Of course I can refork the repo and submit a clean commit.

Actually, I am reconsidering my Debian official maintainership venture. I may just not have enough time. I have more than enough keeping me busy :)

It is up to you. If you would like the debian folder, I will submit a new PR. If not, I will keep it in my packaging repository.
