  • Request for packaging: ChordPro

    From ChordPro Team@21:1/5 to All on Mon Feb 12 10:50:01 2024
    Dear all,

    ChordPro is a simple text format founded in 1992 to notate music leadsheets,
    in general songs with chords and lyrics. It is very popular and used by many musicians all over the world.

    ChordPro is also a program that uses this text format to produce
    professionally looking PDF for the leadsheets. It is the successor of the original program developed by the creators of the chordpro format.

    The ChordPro is written in Perl and available on CPAN. There are packages
    for Fedora, Microsoft Windows, and MacOS. Users on the forums often ask for debian packages.

    Would you be interested in creating a debian package for ChordPro? We are
    not debian users ourselves but we can provide assistance and incorporate packaging files in the repo.

    Looking forward to hear from you,

    Johan Vromans

    If nobody else is interested in this, I am (a little).
    But it could take some time to do so, since this depends on
    File::LoadLines, JavaScript::QuickJS, String::Interpolate::Named, and Text::Layout, which are not available as Debian packages yet and have
    to packaged before.

    Anyway, I just did a little PoC to build these 5 packages and it
    succeeded. Now a lot of fine tuning is necessary to build clean
    packages from the sources...

    Greetings
    Roland
