Debian packaging about tuba HOT 5 CLOSED

Thanks for raising this issue!

1. Nope. There's some very important issues that need fixing that I don't feel comfortable releasing without (see issues for some of them).
2. No. Actually I don't think there's a "config file/folder" apart from the GSettings (but I can't check right now).
3. No. App id, app name and everything else has changed to tooth.

FWIW, someone has already made a deb https://github.com/kop316/Tooth/tree/wip/Deb (mentioned in #26), might be worth looking into!

Hope this helped, let me know if you have further questions!

Thanks, we'll eagerly wait for a release! [I'm aware of @kop316's repo and talked to him]

(I just realized I didn't answer one)

If not, would it be OK to publish an experimental version based on the current git head?

I can't really control it (aur already has tooth-git) but in my opinion, it shouldn't be on any stable repos or similar. Mainly for two reasons:

• Tooth/le is currently lacking in accessibility
• Tooth/le will crash or be very unstable if the user's instance is experiencing problems

Both of which will leave a bad impression to the user either for GTK apps or the fediverse.

However, in the case of mobile devices I wouldn't blame an early-packaging of Tooth since the demand for a Mastodon client is probably higher than on desktop.

I think uploading to debian experimental (experimental don't end up in a stable release) and mobian repos would fit these suggestions. For now I have shared it in my personal repo https://people.debian.org/~praveen/tooth/

FYI Debian should enter soft freeze for the next release on February 12.
