Re: it is time to create a flatpak for xephem


 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

I use XEphem on? Slackware 64.? Using linuxdeploy - ? - I have bundled the necessary files into one folder (with subfoldres), included libXpm. Copied that folder into a XUbuntu 20.04 box and launched xephem. It seems to work, although I did not test it very long.

The packages contain all dependencies like libmotif, libxm4 etc.?
These libraries are the base of the XEphem interface - and all of them are outdated. So it is getting more and more difficult to compile XEphem by yourself. I don't think Elwood will rewrite a completely new interface as a Gnome or KDE application.?

As a flatpak or snap, XEphem can remain available for many years to come, despite XMotif, and also be easier to install on a variety of platforms.
