I think we should have some experience with these packages before they go onto Debian. I will try them myself. 

I tried an earlier version and they failed to install, but perhaps I need to upgrade my Ubuntu?

Anyway, thanks for your work and for sticking to it through what must be a difficult process.

Regards,
Mike

I had some issues with Ubuntu also, but wasn't sure if these .debs were
actually Debian-specific? I received a couple of opinions on IRC that I
should be attempting to rebuild the .debs against Ubuntu rather than
installing a Debian .deb.

[The main installation issues against Ubuntu Gutsy appear to revolve
around the dependency on python24 - Gutsy defaults to python25]

I haven't dug in detail but am prepared to if required - Felipe, would
this be helpful to get Ubuntu-specific feedback? I'm prepared to have a go
at building Ubuntu-specific .debs if necessary as well, but I'm aware that
may be easier said than done.

Cheers
Gareth

Felipe,

I tried building these on Ubuntu Gutsy and this is what I did:

  - Grabbed the files and put them in a directory by themselves:
	csound_5.07.0.dfsg-2.diff.gz
	csound_5.07.0.dfsg-2.dsc
	csound_5.07.0.dfsg.orig.tar.gz

  - Cd-ed into that directory and did:

        dpkg-source -x csound_5.07.0.dfsg-2.dsc

  - That created a new directory, so cd-ed into it

	cd csound-5.07.0.dfsg/

  - Tried to build the package:

        dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -b -uc

  - The above failed for me with unmet dependancies so I had to do:

    sudo apt-get install  portaudio19-dev libfluidsynth-dev \
	libportmidi-dev python-all-dev liblua5.1-0-dev


I tried to build again and it failed right near the end with:

    scons: done building targets.
    mv /home/erikd/Dpkg/csound-5.07.0.dfsg/debian/tmp/usr/bin/extract \
                /home/erikd/Dpkg/csound-5.07.0.dfsg/debian/tmp/usr/bin/csound_extract
    mkdir -p /home/erikd/Dpkg/csound-5.07.0.dfsg/debian/tmp/usr/lib/pd/extra
    mv /home/erikd/Dpkg/csound-5.07.0.dfsg/debian/tmp/usr/lib/csoundapi~.pd_linux \
                /home/erikd/Dpkg/csound-5.07.0.dfsg/debian/tmp/usr/lib/pd/extra
    mkdir -p /home/erikd/Dpkg/csound-5.07.0.dfsg/debian/tmp/usr/share/java
    mv /home/erikd/Dpkg/csound-5.07.0.dfsg/debian/tmp/usr/lib/csnd.jar \
                /home/erikd/Dpkg/csound-5.07.0.dfsg/debian/tmp/usr/share/java/csnd-5.07.0.jar
    mv: cannot stat `/home/erikd/Dpkg/csound-5.07.0.dfsg/debian/tmp/usr/lib/csnd.jar': No such file or d

It looks like something Java related wasn't built correctly.
Any clues?

Cheers,
Erik

That sounds like a bug in the build system :-).

I was pretty sure that the Debina package build system was basically
one-shot, and that at the start of each build it cleans out the
left overs from any previous build.

I did however try again and it bombed out in exactly the same way.

I tried to build it using dpkg-buildpackage. Doesn't that fail if
the build dependancies are not present?

I did however notice that BuildDepends has

    java-gcj-compat-dev | java2-compiler

I had java-gcj-compat-dev but not java2-compiler so  I installed
sun-java6-jdk but it failed again in the same way.

Thanks for looking into this. Here it is:
