Boostnote: Please give instructions to make .rpm package for fedora.

[RatanShreshtha]

It would be really nice if you can provide instructions to build .rpm package for fedora in build.md.

@RatanShreshtha Hi,

It does not seem to be ready yet.
Please check this PR. #266

As a temporary solution, you will be able to use this gist.

I tried alien to convert .deb to .rpm and when I am trying to install it is giving me libffmpeg.so()(64bit) is needed by boostnote-0.8.6-2.x86_64, how can

[petercheco]

Install repo RPMFusion:
dnf install https://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-25.noarch.rpm
dnf install https://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-25.noarch.rpm

Update system:
dnf update

Install FFmpeg:
dnf install ffmpeg
if need
dnf install ffmpeg-devel

Install your alien converted package...

this not work. There is a conflict with filesystem-3.2-37.fc24.x86_64

@jcbritobr : Forcing the installation worked for me for the most part - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27172142/conflicts-with-file-from-package-filesystem-3-2

sudo rpm -ivh --force boostnote-0.8.14-2.x86_64.rpm

Don't know how to do it with dnf. There's a weird problem with squares being drawn for text when browsing the file system - if you avoid that and type your paths you'll be fine.

Having an AppImage would be great

[murpholinox]

Can someone explain with more detail how to build the rpm... From download source to voilà!

[SkYNewZ]

Hi all! I just finish to create a repo that contain "official" .rpm package as well as the standalone package. I invite you to check it : https://github.com/SkYNewZ/Boostnote-packages/releases.
I hope it will be helpfull for you.

• @murpholinox you want to know how to build, check my Dockerfile
• @alefisico You can download boostnote-0.8.20.x86_64.rpm, and see

[murpholinox]

Hi. Thanks @SkYNewZ
Seems to work!!

(Downloaded and installed with dnf install *.rpm)

[alefisico]

thanks @SkYNewZ it works perfectly

[jimpriest]

It's 2018 - how about a Snap, AppImage or Flatpack instead of distro specific downloads?

[jhit]

It is not difficult to build the packages. It is described here: https://github.com/BoostIO/Boostnote/blob/master/docs/build.md

[jhit]

@SkYNewZ Maybe you can get in touch with the maintainers of boostnote and move your build pipeline into the official repository. I think this would be great to keep things more easy for users.

[MostafaNorzade]

Hi. @SkYNewZ
Thanksssssssssssssssssssss .

[ZeroX-DG]

The build instruction for rpm is at the bottom of our build guide. I'll suggest the dev team to also build rpm package in the next release. I'll close this issue, if there's anything else please tell me I'll re-open it.
