👋 🤗 Hello @qawsed66/
I don’t get your post but
besides that welcome in here ☺️
have a graduate day guys
Steve

EDIT are you proposing yourself to be a package maintener ?

EDIT 2: Since you’re asking f or feedback, here is mine as an antiX user of two months: I find your approach odd,

“Here is my package; I’m the maintainer.” who is behind your pseudo and email? Are you the maintainer for antiX? Or Debian? If so, I assume you would be addressing the people actually running the distribution. And if you’re volunteering as a new maintainer, I find this approach strange… but anyway I am not completely surprised Linux user is a wild animal, so again hello there @qawsed66 ☺️

I don’t get it either, what this is meant for. You can simply install lua5.4 [5.4.7-1 i386] from the default apt repos if you need it:

antiX 26, 32 bit:

$ apt-cache policy lua5.4
lua5.4:
  Installiert:           (keine)
  Installationskandidat: 5.4.7-1+b2
  Versionstabelle:
     5.4.7-1+b2 500
        500 http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian trixie/main i386 Packages

I confirm that lua5.4 IS available because I have it installed. It works fine. Mine is in amd64 format. Robin has already confirmed that the 32-bit image also exists.

Hi Steve,

Thank you for the welcome. I am sorry for the confusion. English is very hard for me, so I used AI to translate my first post.

I am NOT proposing myself as a maintainer. I am just a 14-year-old junior high school student from China. I am a beginner. The “Maintainer” field in the package is just a required field by dpkg, so I put my name there. I didn’t know it would make me look like an official maintainer.

I just wanted to make a start, whether it’s good or bad doesn’t really matter to me right now. I didn’t know lua5.4 was already in the Debian base repos. That was my mistake.

Also, my email is a 163.com email and I haven’t opened international services, so I might miss some notifications.

Thank you for your feedback. I am still learning.

Hi Brian,

Thank you for confirming this. You and Robin are correct.

I only searched the antiX repos and completely missed the Debian base i386 repos, so I made a mistake.

Since I am a 14-year-old junior high student from China, my English is not good, so I use AI to help me write. I am just starting to learn Linux packaging. Thank you for your understanding and help.

Best regards,
qawsed66

Hi Robin,

Thank you for showing me this. You are completely right. I just checked the Debian Trixie i386 repos, and lua5.4 is indeed there.

I only searched the antiX specific repos and the uploads area, but completely missed the base Debian repos. That was my mistake. The apt-cache policy command is very useful, and I will remember to use it next time before trying to build a package.

Thank you for your patience and help.

I want to add one more thing: I did all of this on an Android tablet (using Termux, with a proot Debian environment inside).

I don’t have an x86 computer, so I used i686-linux-gnu-gcc to cross-compile the package on ARM64. This is also why I couldn’t test the .deb file locally, and why my apt sources were a bit messy.

I am just a 14-year-old student who loves Linux, doing my best with the only device I have. Thank you for being patient with me!

[qawsed66Member]

Just a quick technical note:

I actually did all of this on an Android tablet, inside a Termux environment with a proot Debian container. Because the device is ARM64, I used i686-linux-gnu-gcc to cross-compile the package for i386.

That’s why I couldn’t test the .deb locally, and why my apt sources were a bit messy. I’ll keep learning. Thanks again for your patience!

[qawsed66Member]

To give a bit more context on why my setup was unusual: I built this package on a Snapdragon 685 Android tablet. I was using Termux and set up a Debian environment through proot-distro. Since the tablet is ARM64, I couldn’t build it directly for i386. I had to use the i686-linux-gnu-gcc cross-compiler to generate the .deb. This also means I had no way to run a local test on my end, which caused my messy apt configuration and the missed Debian base repo. My apologies for the confusion, and thank you all for the guidance.

Welcome to the antiX world! Enjoy! And never hesitate to ask whatever you need to know.

Btw, there are some more of these handy apt commands:

$ apt-cache search lua | grep ^lua
$ apt-cache show lua5.4
$ apt list --installed | grep lua

and then, a bit more advanced already:

$ apt-cache depends lua5.4
$ apt-cache rdepends lua5.4
