I'm thinking about creating a .deb package installer for Livecode. I just want to put the original Livecode installer in a .deb package with all dependencies list. This way all dependencies will be downloaded and installed automatically.
What are the required packages now?
I was thinking about this control file inside the package:
Code: Select all
Package: livecodecommunity
Version: 7.0.0
Architecture: i386
Installed-Size: 233200
Section: devel
Priority: optional
