# gpodder-adaptive-deb-package
## Disclaimer:
**This is an unofficial DEB package of the Experimental adaptive branch of gpodder.**
I do not expect this package to be included in any mobile distro because, I believe that the proper way for this to be done is for the gpodder project to merge into master the adaptive branch so that there is a `blessed build` that can be uploaded into Debian and thus benefit all mobile distros.
I made this package because:
- I wanted to practice packaging applications as DEB packages
- I want a podcast client on my Linux phone that is a DEB package and not a flatpak package
So I made this to have a deb based podcast application while I wait for the work in upstream gpodder to be concluded. Once there are official adaptive podcast applications in Debian Testing, I will delete this repo.
This was tested only on my device. And it worked. Being a non official package, you are on your own when you install this. Dont annoy, your distros developers with bugs about this package. Bug me.
#### Building the package
This package was built based on the repo:
`https://git.disroot.org/maryjane/gpodder` from the `debian/latest` branch. So you can check the commit log to see every change I did to it.
You can build the package yourself on a Debian based system by installing:
`sudo apt install git build-essential devscripts`
`apt install --no-install-recommends git-buildpackage`
And running the commands:
`git clone https://git.disroot.org/maryjane/gpodder.git`
cd into the `gpodder` directory
`git checkout debian/latest`
and run the command:
`debuild -us -uc -b`
