hledger-iadd in termux

[zyl-hub]

I have installed hledger in termux, but when I install hledger-iadd with `pkg install hledger-iadd', no package can be found in termux mirror.

Then I try to isntall with stack, but the stack install script need sudoer which is not available in termux.

Sometimes I need to keep a record on my phone.

Hope hledger-iadd can be released in termux's software source.

I agree that iadd would be a good fit on phones.

To get it packaged in termux a corresponding package request in termux's issue tracker needs to be created, somebody has to do the actual packaging and finally the termux maintainers must accept that. You can see how that process went down (somewhat recently) for hledger in termux/termux-packages#3803, termux/termux-packages#25265 and simonmichael/hledger#398.

Keep in mind that hledger-iadd isn't even packaged in Debian, so it might be difficult convincing the termux maintainers of accepting it wrt their packaging policy.

You're right—after seeing what it takes to get hledger into Termux, I agree that turning hledger-iadd into a Termux package would be too difficult. I'm now looking for a workaround to install hledger-iadd on Termux; if I succeed, I'll post the installation steps in this issue.
