#Launchpad

1 post1 participant0 posts today

It's been more than 6 years since I last made a #Launchpad cover of some kind, so I started making one for a song I listened to today, pretty happy on what I did so far, it's not finished at all but still, feels good to do something new sometimes!

“Sights set on Somaliland: The threat of a total US–UK–Israeli takeover”

by Kit Klarenberg in The Cradle

“As Tel Aviv and Washington quietly court Somaliland as a destination for Gaza’s displaced, this British-controlled enclave on the #RedSea emerges as both a strategic #imperial #launchpad & potential open-air prison for Palestinians – armed, trained, & surveilled by London”

BassBoom is now easier to install!

We have made some of the biggest changes in BassBoom. This time, it’s about packaging the software for easier installation. Starting from BassBoom 0.1.12 and 0.2.7, we are providing the following package installers for different systems:

  • Windows Installer for Windows systems
  • Launchpad PPA for Ubuntu
  • PKGBUILD for Arch Linux using the AUR

As we’ve promised, we’ve made installation of the BassBoom application easier than never before by shipping different types of installers apart from the regular distribution method that utilizes the packaged ZIP file for the application itself.

The documentation will be updated soon to provide instructions on how to install BassBoom using one of the above packaging methods that we’ve recently introduced. This will make your experience regarding installation of BassBoom smoother than before and save your time extracting the archive and remembering the path to the executable file.

If you’ve used the Windows Installer to install BassBoom, you’ll be greeted with this screen:

Just follow the instructions on the screen, and you’re done!

As for the Launchpad PPA, we’re uploading the packages that correspond to the API version of BassBoom releases to the archive. To install BassBoom, use the following commands:

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:eofla/bassboom$ sudo apt update$ sudo apt install bassboom

Then, follow the instructions on the screen to select a version series to install, currently being:

  • bassboom-1: Installs BassBoom v0.1.x series
  • bassboom-2: Installs BassBoom v0.2.x series

As for the Arch Linux distribution, use your AUR helper to install one of the following packages, depending on what series you want to install:

  • bassboom-1: Installs BassBoom v0.1.x series from the latest release tag
  • bassboom-1-git: Installs BassBoom v0.1.x series from the live servicing branch
  • bassboom-2: Installs BassBoom v0.2.x series from the latest release tag
  • bassboom-2-git: Installs BassBoom v0.2.x series from the live servicing branch
  • bassboom-3-git: Installs an upcoming version of BassBoom from the live servicing branch

You can download BassBoom 0.1.13 and 0.2.8 here:

Continued thread

I neither like #Launchpad and their rather unconventional way to display branches and put so much less focus on code and so much on branch names nor their focus on breezy instead of git nor cgit as browsing GitHub/GitLab/Gitea/you name it is way more pleasant and faster to find things. Pressing T to find a file or doing a quick search on the web make things so much faster.

I like that #Debian links to their developer portal with a link to Salsa from packages.debian.org, so that you can actually find stuff. On #Ubuntu when you search something on packages.ubuntu.com and try to find the source you are usually a bit out of luck. A way I found is to try to file a bug, then click on #Launchpad on the "Source tab" and then "Browse source" and then you land in their cgit. :NotLikeThis: :NotLikeThis: :NotLikeThis:
