[Bug 606868] Re: [needs-packaging] SmallBASIC
Hi, SmallBASIC has undergone a few changes since I originally raised this request. The desktop GUI version is now based on SDL2. It also has a couple of other main-stream dependencies; libfreetype and fontconfig. The code now lives in github: https://github.com/smallbasic/SmallBASIC The changes will hopefully simplify implementing this request. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/606868 Title: [needs-packaging] SmallBASIC To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/606868/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 606868] Re: [needs-packaging] SmallBASIC
I am an engineering/science-type, and have used SmallBASIC since it was actually still aimed mainly at the then-rabid Palm crowd (tho I never had one). I have kept WUBI Ubuntu since v9.6, and I am in it using it, 'constantly'. My upcoming new machine will trim any default Redmond OS back to a corner-partition, and will boot Ubuntu when the switch clicks. I have used BASIC for (gulp) 25 years. I have several of them, but I use SmallBASIC. I am quite likely to direct 'development' attention into FreeBASIC. FB may or may not have additional Linux/Ubuntu issues ... but regardless, having the lower-threshhold SmallBASIC critically positioned for entry-level ancient users, will remain a priority to me, as it has been for many years. SmallBASIC has been stable for a long time, and Chris Warren Smith has consistently done a very smart job of care-taking the project. I think it would be a long-term asset to Ubuntu, and I would be another of the 'old crew' who would help keep the dust from accumulating. Best to all at Ubuntu Canonical!

[Bug 606868] Re: [needs-packaging] SmallBASIC
I have updated the project README[1] file to include detailed instructions for building under Ubuntu. Also, I have recently fixed a few problems with building a 64bit version of SmallBASIC under Ubtuntu. We already have the debianisation stuff in place so this really should not take anyone too much time. It would be fantastic if someone could action this request; it's almost the project's 10th birthday!

Being one of the people involved in the development of Blankenship Basic decades ago, naturally I found this rather interesting. I could take a stab at doing a preliminary package for revu for it. -- [needs-packaging] SmallBASIC https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/606868 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
