Fully working template, it's modeled after the Ubuntu package they have on their relases page, it cross-builds (tested). It installs in /opt, as per the packaging in the .deb file.

I opened an issue upstream requesting a .desktop file OpenBoard-org/OpenBoard#952

[MechDR]

Meeh, as you wish... they generate it on the fly with the package script.

[MechDR]

Any progress on this?

[Eloitor]

Maybe next week I'll package it
