Modifications introduced by Charlie Martínez in August 2023:

To create a Quirinux (and Debian 12) compatible .deb package I have modified the directory tree structure.

When testing the package, ptxconf.py was looking for the icon inside the user's /home, I modified this so that it also looks for it in /opt.

I have also changed the color of the icon, because it hardly contrasted in light themes. The color I chose works well for light as well as dark themes.

I also added autostart to /etc/xdg

Dependences:

To work, this program needs the following dependencies:

python3-full, gir1.2-appindicator3-0.1, python3-setuptools

Instalación / Release:

I accompany a successfully tested release on Debian 12, Sunday August 9, 2023.

To install on Debian 12, just run:

apt install .`/ptxconf_2.7_all.deb`

Also available in the Quirinux repositories:

apt-get update
apt-get install wget

Create file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/quirinux.list with the following content:

deb https://repo.quirinux.org quirinux main

Then add the signature:

wget -O - https://repo.quirinux.org/gpg/quirinux.asc | sudo apt-key add -
cd /etc/apt
sudo cp trusted.gpg trusted.gpg.d

Finally, install:

apt-get update
apt-get install ptxfonf
