Another C/C++ IDE? There is not much new in being able to support
plugins. What is different with code::blocks?

The first thing that made me find Code::Blocks was my search for a light C/C++
IDE supporting code completion out of the box. KDevelop & Anjuta both do
that but not as good as Eclipse for example. Code::Blocks does it fine
already.

Code::Blocks is now packaged. The package is at

http://www.lostwebsite.net/debian/

(maybe not fully correct yet but it's a matter of details)

but is not ready for mainstream usage. The upstream package is still too
unstable.

I will keep on releasing debian packages for new versions of Code::Blocks as
they are release.

Hi there,

The other day I was looking for a cross platform C++ IDE that's a bit
lighter and better integrated than Eclipse + CDT. The description and
screenshots of Codeblocks on their website looked quite good, and I'm a
fan of wxWidgets to begin with. After that I saw your ITP on the WNPP
list and went to your website to look at the packages you created.
Unfortunately, the link you gave is dead now, and it doesn't look like
you've updated the ITP in the last 9 months or so.

Do you still intend to package codeblocks?

Do you have any packages built from the -rc2 release?

Thanks

Yes I do, see http://neutronic.mine.nu/unstable.

The package is not of Debian-quality right now. Somebody was supposed to take
over them but it seems like the guy is not in a hurry. I'll ping him and
finish those packages if he doesn't give a satisfying answer.

Hi,

Is anyone working on the Debian package now? Erick, have you made any
progress regarding it?

Just my two cents why Code::Blocks is better than others.

Code::Blocks is extremely interesting since it provides multiplatform
compatibility -- project files support specification of target as being
for GNU/Linux, MacOS or Windows. Code::Blocks runs on those platforms, and
the transition of project folder between platform and compiling is
extremely easy.

It's a lot more lightweight than KDevelop. It isn't limited to Windows
like Dev-Cpp. It has less bugs than Dev-Cpp. In fact, it's the best IDE I
have seen feature/size/speed-wise.

Hello David,

I am the owner of the ITP and I had been trying to add Code::Blocks to
Debian repositories.
I had created the packages more than once but always having to change
something to fulfill mentor's demands. When everything was looking like it
would be finally solved then Code::Blocks team started to use the new
updated version of wxWidgets 2.8 which is not in the repositories. I had
tried to ask the maintainer of the previous versions for a new version but
he told me he wasn't in accordance that the new version was really stable
and that he was not intending to add it to the repositories and that he
thought it was better to wait for a version 3.0 of wxWidgets which was
planned to be released on last January.
After talking to a debian developer friend of mine for councils he argued to
me that it is not a good policy to build the uptodate version of wxWidgets
passing over the previous maintainer opinions and that he thought it would
be a good idea to wait for him to update wxWidgets before packaging
Code::Blocks again.
Afterwards I realized that:

   - the point-of-view of wxWidgets maintainer should be respected;
   - Code::Blocks is not really a stable software for now although I am
   using it anyway;
   - I do not intend to fork their work to make Code::Blocks compatible
   to the previous version wxWidgets 2.6;
   - I had been talking to the Code::Blocks creator and he thinks it will
   be better to package it after the release of 1.0 stable version.

Then I was forced to wait for this situation to be cleared up into any
direction before continuing the work and to accept that Debian distro really
gets stuck some times if some dependecies could not be satisfied by
community or even by one's point-of-view.
I have uploaded a lot of packages to debian mentors and the
first-before-last package is still available there so if you want you can
see it by yourself.
If you would like, I can forward all my communications to all of the people
involved.

Best regards,
Erick Mattos.

I just realized that after sending my reply to that ITP :(

Can't we propose him to upload it to experimental? That wouldn't hurt unstable
(thus also testing -- and stable) users, but we could still have Code::Blocks
inside Debian repositories.

Fully agree w.r.t. respecting upstream's decisions (ando also other
maintainers')

Again, why don't you propose it for experimental?

I'm currently using packages provided by the Code::Blocks team itself, plus the
wxWidgets from wxwidgets.org:

deb http://jens.lody.name/debian/ any main
deb-src http://jens.lody.name/debian/ any main
deb http://apt.wxwidgets.org/ etch-wx main

Sure: I've changed "netzmeister" to Matthias Gutmann <email address hidden>
(which is the real name / address).
Before your reply we were planning on team-maintaining Code::Blocks -- if it
was the case. What do you think about this? (again: I'm talking about an
experimental package -- not unstable as its dependencies wouldn't be satisfied
in Debian at the moment)

Kindly,
David

As he told me, he doesn't believe on 2.8 version but he believes in
the 3.0version in the near future.
I think he wouldn't be interested about having a lot of work on a version he
doesn't see as stable enough just to let it go to experimental which is a
version only used or even known by people who are really testing softwares.

So do I, for two reasons:

   - He knows better than me the real situation of the softwares he have
   been involved for so much time.
   - I really want to help Debian because I am very grateful to this
   distro. It worths nothing to start fighting other members which are helping
   Debian for more time than me.

Again, why don't you propose it for experimental?

I really don't think it is a good idea as I told you before. I am conformed
to wait though it is not my point-of-view.

I'm currently using packages provided by the Code::Blocks team itself, plus

My packages were based upon their job but the developers made those only to
let Debian users to have a package.
To create a package is completely different of that package be in
conformance to all Debian standards and able to go to the repositories.
That's why so much work.

Maintaining a package in the repositories is not a hard job. There is
always someone looking forward to be a maintainer. It is not something that
one doesn't need too much help except by some rare cases.
So the only reasons for me not uploading it into the repositories are the
problems already related.
Anyway I really appreciate you are in a hurry to have Code::Blocks on the
repositories too. I have been using it and I am very fan of the project. I
really believe it will be very good to Debian and to Code::Blocks itself.
If you still will be so helpful at the moment of some change of the actual
blocks then write to me again so we can always help each other and the whole
community.
I think future communications from now on should be made without cc to
mentors and to the ITP bug hence we don't fill Debian systems with things we
can not be helped anyway.

Best regards,
     Erick Mattos.

Probably a good idea, but it requires a lot of coordination with
upstream, which I'm not sure they're willing to do. The copyright file

The package is maintained by the MOTU team in Ubuntu (I did the
initial packaging work, and a peek at the changelog shows that its
already an accepted Ubuntu package), but I have no objections to
making it a team package; My only condition is I allow day-zero NMUs
on my packages, and any co-maintainer must allow that on packages I
co-maintain with. Other then that, no issues with any NM or DD who
wishs to work on it.

wxscintilla, both hosted at sf.net); a simple grep for `author' or `file by'
would reveals these details. Also licensecheck (devscripts) would be helpful.
So, these licences and copyrights should also be listed in debian/copyright
file, which presumably is in machine interpretable format. However, having so
much code duplication doesn't help security, so we would be better off
approaching upstream and find ways to use these packages (not packaged yet)
separately, and not carry them with codeblocks source tree. These could be
sort of tedious and time consuming dealing with upstream.

* I haven't looked at their trunk lately, but is there any progress on sorting
out that `global plugins path' hack you have applied to the package ?

* I also think that such a tremendous package as a codebase should be
maintained by a team, ubuntu guys are also welcome of course. Any
suggestions ?

Hi,

This bug has a very long history :-)

The entries of 2008-10-29 and 2008-12-07 suggest that the package was
uploaded then rejected. What is the problem? How can I help get
CodeBlocks into Debian?

Thanks,
-Steve

I left some traces on that bug, but I didn't uploaded the package, thus I have
no clue what the reasoning behind that rejection was, though I'd like to know
too.

I'm the person who submitted this package to Ubuntu, and to Debian.
There was some issues with the copyright file which caused the Debian
REJECT (it's currently in Ubuntu's universe repo). It's been on my
TODO list to fix the copyright and reupload.
