Hello,
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/activinspire
since the version 2.24, Activinspire is disown by his maintainer that fail to resolve some dependencies. Activinspire is a very good software for interactive whiteboard, but its linux version (for ubuntu focal) is package by crazy people with terrible script, gnome extension, old dependencies... For exemple, a few version ago, the deb contain 3 times the software inside for no reason. So i understand the maintainer..
Anyway i try and succed (i think, i am just a maths teacher) to package the 2.24 version, but i don't know if my modification are good. Here is the list :
- MD5, version...etc
- Remove /etc/xdg but keep /etc/udev (needed???)
- Remove /usr/share/gnome-shell (i am on kde so i don't see the need of this extension and i don't think it's the way to go)
- Remove com.ubuntu.user-interface.gschema.xml that seems no longer needed
- Remove killing inspire at launch as it seems not needed any more (had to test more)
- Update dependencies : icu60 seems no longer needed and openssl1.1 instead of 1.0
- Resolve dependency by brutally adding in /opt/activsoftware libre2.so.5 and libwebp.so.6 in /opt/activsoftware from ubuntu focal deb ( https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/libre2-5 and https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/libwebp6)
It seems to work well on my setup (except small font in the menu that don't bother me to much and the impossibility to print but it was like this before). Before taking my time to understand how to become the new maintainer, i need to know if people are interested and i need some test. I put all the file need to compile and test the 2.24 version here :
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/ … share_link
It's a version to be compile locally with activinspire deb directly in the folder, the link for the activinspire deb will be update for AUR version to be download it from promothean server. The rest is rework script and lib from ubuntu package, so i don't think it will pose some license problem.
Thanks for all the person that will show some interess and test this PKGBUILD
