You can use one of the emails of the three current maintainers which
are already public knowledge. I'd be fine with that as a default.

No problem. And even if it's a separate step before calling `make` to
install the dependencies, that's fine. I just want to be able to use
the dep info that you've already tested inside the debbuild directory.
Copying and sync'ing that info with some other source just asks for
trouble as countless bug reports to the list and the issue tracker
prove.

> This may take a few days, since I'm currently busy with other things, sorry. I understand that you want to go ahead with your new build system in the meantime, but you can just continue to use the existing deb building process for now. You'll just have to do the trivial edits to the linux_make/debian/control file that I suggested earlier to make the resulting packages work on 20.04 for now. Once a proper solution is implemented, it should be a drop-in replacement for what we have now.

That's fine. I have a lot else to look at in the meantime, and the old
build system seem to be chugging along atm.

But for developers and package maintainers, if you have to maintain a big and complicated package, IMHO it's just a big pita. Arch's pacman is *much* easier.

My problem is that it isn't doing its job for the end user. Stable is
already too out of date to use many of the extant tutorials for what
are now basic things like display scaling for 4k and gpu-accelerated
firefox. So using Buster gets you a flawed view of the state of
Gnu/Linux-- desktop scaling is actually available in both stable Gnome
*and* XFCE. If you use Buster you must resort to all the tedious
workarounds that have given Linux a bad name over the years.

There are many other such problems that create a twisted situation
where "stable" means "out of date" and "testing" means "probably
stable, but not officially supported as such."

Somewhat related-- have you taken a look at makeself before? It's a
clever route around a lot of the packaging problems which plague
Linux. Virtualbox actually ships a Linux version that leverages it,
and I used it to install virtualbox on Bullseye.

Please note it is designed to work only with genuine Wiimotes. Other knock off devices are not guaranteed to work and may or may not work. I don't believe anyone has yet successfully reverse-engineered the wireless nunchucks.

The debuild stuff is completely separate and requires some additional tools to be installed (debuild et al). There are some (rather terse) instructions in debuild/Makefile, which probably won't make much sense unless you've used debuild before (or read the Ubuntu packaging guide).

I see that there's a Depends: python line in there, maybe change that to something that will work on 20.04, such as Depends: python2. (That Depends: line *must* be there, however, because it will be replaced during the build, adding the remaining runtime dependencies which are figured out automagically in linux_make/Makefile. You ought to know this, because according to git blame you wrote that part of the Makefile yourself in 2017. ;-)

If you are using newer wiimoteplus that has motion plus integrated, you will want to connect with the sync button found next to the battery. I haven't tested the xwiimote driver, but not so long ago, the in-house libcwiid I maintained was the only driver that allowed for complete access to Wiimote's functionality, including the interleaved mode that uses both plus and nunchuk. It is also rock solid. To this day, we still use it in L2Ork and have tested it with 24 simultaneous Wiimote connections in the same room without any issues.

Looking at the source code in externals/disis/cwiid, there's a configure script there which checks for Python, and a septup.py script that gets run during the build. There's no actual Python C API code being linked there, as far as I can tell. But from unsuccessful OBS builds I know that it will fail with an error when running configure and Python is not installed, and I also seem to recall that Python3 didn't work either, it really needs Python2 for some reason. Unfortunately, the OBS doesn't keep logs of older builds, so all this is from the top of my head, but that's how I remember it.

I'm asking because I could never make it work, it just doesn't find my Wiimote (which works fine with the xwiimote kernel driver). If I'm not mistaken, disis_wiimote still employs some user space drivers and utilities which aren't supported in Bluez 5 any more. But if anyone has it actually working on Bluez 5 then I'd really like to hear about it!

Maybe you want to have a look at my debuild control file (purr-data/debuild/debian/control) and update the control file in linux_make/debian accordingly. The debuild stuff is always up-to-date and known to work with every Debian/Ubuntu version younger than Stretch and Xenial, because I'm using it to build packages on the OBS.

And yes, that's really the Python2 version that it needs, which causes quite some headaches if you want to build Purr on both old and new Debian/Ubuntu versions. But you can have a look at purr-data/debuild/debian/control to see how I solved this in the OBS builds. It would be good if we could just get rid of that Python2 dependency, since Python2 is pretty much on its way out.
