Adding a program to the Community repository

Hi!

Please tell me the procedure for adding my program to the Community repository?

https://github.com/CineEncoder/cine-encoder

The program is already in the AUR repository (cine-encoder)

I completely redesigned the program and added new features. The program works perfectly.

In short, you don't, TUs do if they're interested.

Re: Adding a program to the Community repository

No /usr/bin/cineencoder (or similar)? Just a .desktop? Would be annoying to call on occasion.

Re: Adding a program to the Community repository

OK, but how do I report my program to Trusted Users?

Re: Adding a program to the Community repository

WorMzy's second link is broken, the question mark is actually part of the link. Please read both links, it's explained in the second.

fixed link

What do you mean "Just a .desktop"?

There is no simple way to launch the program from a cli or something like it, like the default dmenu runner on i3. Just a sidenote.

Re: Adding a program to the Community repository

This is because I did it on Python, I'll rewrite it in C++ later

Try this:
$ python /usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/cine-encoder/main.py

Re: Adding a program to the Community repository

Use setuptools entry_points for this. Also https://github.com/CineEncoder/cine-enc … desktop#L9

Your desktop file incorrectly lists supported Mimetype= values that can be opened with "python /usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/cine-encoder/main.py /path/to/file.mp4" or whatever. But the desktop file doesn't actually pass those arguments to the program as per https://specifications.freedesktop.org/ … -variables

Furthermore a quick glance at the code indicates there is no option parsing to use those command-line arguments even if you try.

Either implement this, or remove the Mimetype= key.

I corrected this error today (just deleted Mimetype= key).
