Semi-automated script to create binary packages for (multiple versions of) Ubuntu

Primary LanguageMakefileApache License 2.0Apache-2.0

NDN binary packages for Ubuntu

Prerequisites

The following dependencies need to be installed in order to build the source .deb packages to be uploaded to the PPA:

sudo apt install git devscripts debhelper dh-make

Building source packages

The build process is fully automated. The following command can be used to build all packages and upload them to the PPA:

make dput

Before running dput, make sure that you have access to upload packages to named-data/ppa (or modify the target PPA repository in packaging.mk).

To build a specific package, go to the package's folder and run the same make dput command.

Advanced uses

By default, the scripts will create source packages for Ubuntu 20.04 (focal), 22.04 (jammy), and 22.10 (kinetic). If necessary, the default actions and distributions can be overriden, for example:

  • To only build source packages (no upload), only for Ubuntu 12.04:

    make build DISTROS=precise

  • To build binary package that can be installed with sudo dpkg -i <package>.deb:

    make build DEBUILD=debuild DISTROS=precise

    The built package will be in <package-folder>/work/<package-name>_<version>.deb
