ARM (aarch64) .deb package

Post by alberic89 »

I created a .deb package of BFW 1.16.6 for my Raspberry Pi because flatpack doesn't necessarily support the arm architecture (and it takes a lot of space). Can I distribute it with the label "wesnoth-unoficial" or is it illegal?

Doesn't Debian already build Wesnoth for the ARM architecture?

Yes, but only for BFW versions 1.8 to 1.14.

https://packages.debian.org/sid/wesnoth-1.16-core for example does definitely still list arm64.

These packages are not available with apt for Raspberry Pi OS, and are not up-to-date (version 1.16.4).
Even if I wanted to install them manually, I would have to download and install all the small packages.
I am part of the translation team and I need an up-to-date version of BFW to check my translations.

Alright, well it's certainly not illegal or anything for you to distribute your own .deb of Wesnoth.
