This repository holds the debian/ files responsible for packaging
diff-so-fancy.
The PPA can be found here.
This package uses the overlay method with git-buildpackage. That is, this
package only holds the debian directory, downloads the release tarball,
overlays the debian directory, and creates the package.
In order to build this package you will need the following packages:
sbuild(https://wiki.debian.org/sbuild)git-buildpackage
- Make necessary directories if they don't exist:
$ mkdir tarballs build
- Download latest release with
uscan --destdir tarballs(This might be broken, you can instead download the release tarball and rename it to the appropriate name.) - Make changes if necessary, and run
gbp dch - Run:
$ gbp buildpackage --git-builder="sbuild --source-only-changes --debbuildopts='--buildinfo-option=-O'"
This will create a source-only package, and not write-out the .buildinfo
(-O) flag. It also uses sbuild to make the package.
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/launchpad/+bug/1699763)
- Upload the changes file to PPA:
$ dput ppa:aos1/diff-so-fancy build/diff-so-fancy_1.2.6-1ubuntu1_source.changes
Follow steps 1 - 3 above. Then, run this command instead:
$ gbp buildpackage --git-builder=sbuild
All other configuration is stored under debian/gbp.conf.
