Dear Maintainer,

lektor has an administration UI that allows users to edit pages using a CMS
like interface. This is typically accessed by running 'lektor serve', then
visiting http://127.0.0.1:5000/ and clicking on the edit button on the top
right corner of the static page.

Currently, lektor's Debian package does not build the administration interface
present in the directory lektor/admin/. This results in 404 errors generated by
visiting the administrator interface of lektor. Administration interface is
usually built by running 'make build-js' in the root directory. This in-turn
uses 'npm' and several node modules. Most of these node modules seem to be
already packaged for Debian.

Please consider building and packaging the administration UI for lektor as part
of the lektor's Debian package.

Lektor being used by the FreedomBox project and we are considering making it
available for users as a FreedomBox app. Thank you for packaging lektor.

In version 3.1.3-1 of the debian package the administration
UI for lektor seems to be part of the package, at least
there are many files in lektor/admin/. But when I run
'lektor serve' and than point my brwoser to
http://127.0.0.1:5000/ there appears only a never ending

"Loading Interface ..."

instead of the admin gui. Using a local version of lektor
installed directly from the website all goes fine.

The only error message I get in the terminal running the
debian version is:

"/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/watchdog/utils/bricks.py:175:
DeprecationWarning: Using or importing the ABCs from
'collections' instead of from 'collections.abc' is
deprecated since Python 3.3,and in 3.9 it will stop
working."

Would be nice to have a working debian package ;-)

As documented in the package description and NEWS, we're currently
unable to ship the Lektor frontend interface due to missing javascript
build dependencies to compile the frontend.

The upcoming Lektor 3.4 branch appears to be simplifying the build
process for the frontend, so I'm keeping this bug open so we revisit
this next upstream release.

Thanks,
