    Two apps not in the repos I'd like

    Hey,
    I'd like to use Cinepaint (a fork from GIMP) and Celtx (screenwriting app) but they are not in the Adept Manager repo. I'm a total newbie so I don't know what to do for software not in the repo. Any reason these apps are not listed -- there's some pretty arcane stuff included, but not these two; wonder why?
    Thanks.

      Requesting a new package for Ubuntu

      To get a package into Ubuntu, please file a bug in Launchpad and make sure it has the tag needs-packaging. Please mention where to get the source for it and which license it is under. An example request is here. Make sure you check which packages have already been requested. For packages in Debian, but not in Ubuntu file a bug with the summary field "please sync package <packagename> from debian <distro>" where packagename is the package you would like to see...

      > Bug #190791: Please re-add cinepaint to Ubuntu
      Cinepaint has been removed from Debian sid and doesn't occur in Hardy...

      ...

      The reason it's not in hardy is because it was removed from sid and
      therefore wasn't synced across.

      Debian removed it from sid because of the packaging error linked to above.

      It doesn't need packaging as much as packaging fixing. It was also
      orphaned in Debian I think...

        For celtix you may want to do here:
        http://www.celtx.com/download.html

        and read this:
        Quote from here:
        http://wiki.celtx.com/index.php?title=Installation
        For Linux

        You can install Celtx by extracting the downloaded archive into your home folder (e.g. /home/yourusername/bin) and run the application from there. But then only this single user will have access to it.

        Otherwise, if you want all users to have access to it, Celtx must be installed and run once as the root user. A typical installation from an administrator account is done as follows:

        (copy - Ctrl+C - and paste - Maj+Ins - the following code lines, one by one, in a Terminal window -Ctrl+Alt+T)

        cd /usr/local

        sudo tar zxf /path/to/Celtx.tar.gz

        (enter your password)

        sudo /usr/local/celtx/celtx

        If you get an error error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory then you need to install a package that contains libstdc++.so.5. On Redhat and Ubuntu, this is the compat-libstdc++ package. On Gentoo, it's just called lib-compat. You might be able to install it using yum install compat-libstdc++

        Now any user can run it using /usr/local/celtx/celtx.

        If you're running a 64-bit build, ensure the 32-bit libraries are installed. Just search for the string "ia32" within synaptic. You might have to install the normal "ia32-libs" and also "ia32-libs-gtk", perhaps more.
        You can extract with konqueror or dolphin and right click on the downloaded file and choose extract to subfolder

        Hope this helps.
