Distro-Packaging

When packaging both aeidon and gaupol in a Linux distro, it's best to use the switches in the main setup.py for a consistent whole.

sudo python3 setup.py --without-gaupol install --prefix=/usr/local
sudo python3 setup.py --without-aeidon install --prefix=/usr/local

Note that the --with-* and --without-* are global options and must be placed before any commands.

Of the dependencies listed in the README.md file, iso-codes and chardet are to be associated with aeidon. If aeidon is installed using the --without-iso-codes switch, then iso-codes is required instead of optional. gaupol should depend on the remaining dependencies as well as aeidon of the same version.

History

The aeidon package is part of the Gaupol subtitle editor, where the other package, gaupol, provides the GTK user interface.

Separating a user interface independent general-purpose subtitle editing package from Gaupol has been an afterthought and thus not well designed to be a reusable component, but on the other hand is proven, working and maintained code.
