In this session I finish with packaging Snippet Expander for Debian and Ubuntu by showing how debuild has been cleaned up, CI/CD now creates .deb attached to release, and then do the same for .tgz to round things out.
The .deb and .tgz are tested to make sure they’re looking good for use on Debian.
In this session I continue with packaging Snippet Expander for Debian and Ubuntu by fixing up the X11 dependent tests that run when making a .deb, and fixing up some of the lintian warnings.
Things get a little unstuck when I try and automatically suppress some warnings that I don’t care about though.
In this session I continue with packaging Snippet Expander for Debian and Ubuntu by trying to get the debuild CLI tool to build a .deb file, and eventually succeed! 🎉
By the end I have a .deb file that has the correct contents, and installs.
There’s still a bunch of clean up to do, and probably something needs to be done about Snippet Expander’s icon not showing in Budgie desktop’s menu, but we finally got it to work.

In this session I continue with packaging Snippet Expander for Debian and Ubuntu by making sure my Debian VM has the required packages for building a .deb file, create rudimentary package control files, and take a 1st stab at running the build, with predictable results (not gonna work).
