Need help making tty-solitaire available in package repositories

[mpereira]

It would be cool if tty-solitaire installation was more easily accessible to people. It seems like we already have some platforms covered:

• ALT Linux (apt-get install tty-solitaire) Thanks to @greno4ka.
• Arch Linux (via AUR) (makepkg -si) Thanks to @HalosGhost.
• Arch Linux (pacman -S tty-solitaire) Thanks to @polyzen.
• Debian (Debian testing, apt install tty-solitaire) Thanks to @vaporup.
• Homebrew (brew install tty-solitaire) Thanks to @mistydemeo.
• FreeBSD (pkg install tty-solitaire) Thanks to @AMDmi3.
• Nix stable (nix-env --install tty-solitaire) Thanks to @AndersonTorres.
• Slackware (via Slackbuilds) Thanks to @dslackw.
• Void Linux (xbps-install -S tty-solitaire) Thanks to @cr6git.

These others still aren't:

• Fedora
• Gentoo
• NetBSD
• OpenBSD
• RHEL/CentOS
• Ubuntu

What platforms and/or distribution channels am I missing?

Are you a user of any of these and would like to make tty-solitaire available on it? Let me know how can I help!

ALT Linux: apt-get install tty-solitaire

We're use rpm packaging system, so Fedora and Centos packaging will be similar with ours.

Added to the list, thanks @greno4ka!

Interesting!

[greno4ka]

It can be more interesting to you, that list can be more spread then now:
https://repology.org/metapackage/tty-solitaire/versions

[mpereira]

I didn't know about repology.org, it's amazing!

[greno4ka]

For example, there mentioned that tty-solitaire is build for termux. It's the issue #19. It's quite nice idea to write this guy and say, that tty-solitaire works awful in termux without ncursesw library!

[HalosGhost]

To mention, to get the AUR package elevated to pacman, all that needs to be done is to convince a Trusted User to sponsor it into the [community] repo. Polyzen is the current maintainer of the package, so I would recommend messaging them.

@HalosGhost thanks for the tip, I left a comment on the package AUR page.

I've been building packages for Fedora / EL, available here: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/baggypants/inconsolation/

It's already for Slackware from 2014 via slackbuilds: http://www.slackbuilds.org/repository/14.2/games/tty-solitaire/

[polyzen]

Now in the repos: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/tty-solitaire/

[mpereira]

@polyzen that's great, thanks Daniel!

I found out about tty-solitaire from entware. I installed tty-solitaire with the command "opkg install tty-solitaire". The package list here includes tty-solitaire 1.1.1. You could add entware to your list of platforms at the top. I know little about entware, I'm just a novice user.

[greno4ka]

Yeah, just tried to install tty-solitaire on my router from entware. It has problems with ncursesw, like in termux.
