I love you. But installing the Nextcloud client on anything other than Arch Linux based distroās is a pain in bottom. Itās 2016, in Ubuntu I should not have to build from source and manually place the application in a folder anymore. I understand very well that going through repoās is not an option for you and I agree but can you please considers making a Snap for example,or a Flatpack. Alternatively, the OwnCloud Suse build service repo also was acceptable.
Yeah on the client side, that kind of package is needed.
I hope the snap devs maybe releasing a snap for the client also, they already made great process on the server side.
And snapd can run on many distributions now so that is nice.
Adding my voice to the little chorus here too. If I had any idea where to begin Iād volunteer to do it myself! Us Linux users could really do with .deb .rpm installers.
So I would like to have this too, and even though I donāt have time or the know-how, I am willing to pay someone for it. Might it be an idea to use the bounty system for this? I looked at bountysource but that would need a github issue. Should I create a github issue and then set a bounty?
What should be an acceptable bounty? Does anyone have an idea how much work it would be to get the debian/ubuntu repoās to accept it and how much a dev should get for it?
Yes that would be the way to go. The right place would probably the theming-tracker:
About the money, I canāt estimate how much effort it is, probably it depends strongly on the experience of someone. You can go the other way round, how much are you willing to pay for this function? And in the past most bounties probably didnāt compensate for the real effort made.
