ubuntu-package for KrosswordPuzzle
Posted by Esben Mose Hansen
I decided to do an Ubuntu package for KrossWordPuzzle 8.3, which is a neat crossword puzzle player. It is able to download a large number automatically from various newspapers, making getting started on solving very quick and pain free. While Swedish-style grids are supported, none of the downloadable ones are of this type, the more’s the pity. Still, it is loads of fun even if doing crosswords in your 2nd language is kind of hard.
I do not claim to be the perfect packager, but the the package should work fine for the current Ubuntu release 9.04 aka Jaunty. Please tell me about any bugs in the comments. Download krosswordpuzzle_0.8.3-1_i386.deb, and enjoy. I might also cook up a Debian package if anyone asks for it, as it should be simple enough. It will require unstable/sid, though, as I don’t believe testing/squeeze carries the necessary KDE packages.
Enjoy!
Edit – again
I made a version for 08.3 here: krosswordpuzzle_0.8.3-1_i386.deb
