The Package Wizard software creates rpm, Debian, and Slackware packages, making it a highly valuable tool for packaging applications.
Package Wizard is a versatile software utility that can help users create rpm, Debian and Slackware packages with ease. Before using this tool, it is essential to install Kommander (1.1), which is included in the kdewebdev3 package on SUSE. Additionally, users need to install the checkinstall tool to ensure optimal performance.
The software package comes with a convenient service menu that can be accessed from the KDE context menu under the "Actions" section. However, there are several known bugs associated with the software, such as incomplete error detection during compilation and problems that may occur for non-root users. Additionally, there may be issues with timestamp problems on old rpm based systems.
Despite these challenges, the latest release of Package Wizard has introduced numerous enhancements to improve overall functionality. For instance, the error detection after the compilation process is now complete, and there are new sound effects included to make using the tool more engaging. The checkinstall/debhelper frontend has been simplified, and new buttons introduced, such as "Make clean" and "remove the directory debian/ from the source".
Overall, Package Wizard is a valuable tool for developers who want to create rpm, Debian and Slackware packages with ease. However, users may need to consider the known bugs and plan accordingly to avoid potential issues. Nevertheless, the latest release of the software comes with numerous enhancements that further improve usability and overall performance.
