there is no .deb file
Closed this issue · 3 comments
Ubuntu is one interesting distro for many
we cloned this repo, then after installing the required pkg:
$ sudo apt-get install debhelper
we got:
$ dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc
dpkg-buildpackage: source package nvidia-peer-memory
dpkg-buildpackage: source version 1.0-0
dpkg-buildpackage: source distribution unstable
dpkg-buildpackage: source changed by Alaa Hleihel alaa@mellanox.com
dpkg-buildpackage: host architecture amd64
dpkg-source --before-build nv_peer_memory-master
fakeroot debian/rules clean
dh clean --with dkms
dh_testdir
dh_clean
dpkg-source -b nv_peer_memory-master
dpkg-source: error: can't build with source format '3.0 (quilt)': no upstream tarball found at ../nvidia-peer-memory_1.0.orig.tar.{bz2,gz,lzma,xz}
dpkg-buildpackage: error: dpkg-source -b nv_peer_memory-master gave error exit status 255
According to my colleague, in order to build a deb file you need to first prepare a tarball with the source code. Prepare a source code directory with name nvidia-peer-memory-<major version>, eg. nvidia-peer-memory-1.0. Note: the major version (1.0) in this case is taken from first line in debian/changelog (nvidia-peer-memory (1.0-0) unstable; urgency=low)
Create a tarball:
$ tar czf nvidia-peer-memory_1.0.orig.tar.gz nvidia-peer-memory-1.0
Then create the deb package:
$ cd nvidia-peer-memor-1.0
$ dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc
not heard any more complains. closing this
