I agree. I think the average user gets feared when it comes to the point of the compilation.

And as Debian and Ubuntu (as well as PlayDeb) are repository based the user does not even have to think about the deb files or which architecture he has to download because the package manager just fetches them in the background and installs them (including all the dependencies the package has).

 

So in case of PlayDeb, if the user has set up our repository and has also configured the browser correctly he just has to click on "Install this now" on vbam's app site and ends up with vbam being successfully installed Image/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Of course the user also just can install the package with the package manager.

As I see you already maintain a debian directory for packaging in your SVN repository.

So you could use this and we can grant you upload rights to our build server.

This would be the easiest. Or you just maintain the debian directory and put it in some subfolder like "packaging" so we can just grab it and use it for the release.

 

Just as you like.

 

But anyhow, thanks for your help :thumbsup:

Yes, I used the link here: http://vba-m.com/forum/donate.php

The Status in PayPal says: Not booked (translated from german).
