SYNOPSIS
./build-package -f <flavor> -p <platform> -v <version> -u
DESCRIPTION
build-package will create a platform-specific package of Jetbrain's
Intellij IDEA. The packages can be installed using platform
specific/native tools and/or distributed from local package
repositories.
It currently only supports building packages of the development builds
of IDEA, either by finding and downloading the latest version directly
from Jetbrain's servers or by being pointed to a build output directory
and use that.
OPTIONS
-f <flavor>
The IDEA flavor to package. 'flavor' can be one of 'IU' and 'IC'
for IDEA Ultimate or IDEA Community Edition respectively.
-F
Force a build of a package, even if there is a package with the same
version in the repository.
-p <platform>
The operating system platform to build the package for. Can be one
of 'debian' and 'solaris'.
'debian' will build a package for any of the Debian based Linux
distributions, including Debian and Ubuntu.
'solaris' will build a package for Solaris 8 to 10. The package itself
will work on later versions of Solaris and OpenSolaris but uses the
'old style' packaging tools (pkgadd, pkgmk, etc)
Platform autodetection will be implemented once someone has been
annoyed enough by the manual procedure.
-s <directory>
Sets <directory> to be the input directory when creating the
package. This is used to build packages from custom builds of IDEA.
Note that you have to specify the version explicitly.
-u
Updates the package repository with the appropriate command for
the platform.
For debian this means dpkg-scanpackages, for solaris bldcat is used.
-v <version>
The version of the build to use. If not specified the script will
automatically find and download the latest build discovered from
http://confluence.jetbrains.net/display/IDEADEV/IDEA+11+EAP
SOLARIS
To build a pkgutil repository run bldcat like this:
bldcat repository/solaris/`uname -p`/`uname -r`
make sure you have the "pkgutilplus" package installed
EXAMPLES
Example 1: Creating a Solaris package of the latest Ultimate Edition.
./build-package -f IU -p solaris
Example 2: Creating a Debian package of the 95.4 build of the Community Edition.
./build-package -f IC -p debian -v 95.4
Example 3: Creating a Debian from a custom build of IDEA:
./build-package -p debian -f IC -v 1.2.3 -s idea-IC-95.54
BUGS
The scripts are not bullet proof, so there might certainly be bugs in
them. The scripts also depend on jetbrains to not change the way they
package and distribute the tar files.
