How to build DEB package in userland (dilos-userland)

Prepare build environment and build package

install packages:

apt-get install \
	gnu-make \
	developer-versioning-mercurial

for clone/access to repo 'dilos-userland-review' you need to have account on bitbucket and ask to provide you access by info: http://www.dilos.org/conact-me

clone repo:

hg clone https://bitbucket.org/dilos/dilos-userland-review

go to components directory:

cd dilos-userland-review/components

install additional packages for build environment:

gmake deb-prep
gmake setup

you are ready to build your package from userland, for example: apt

cd <dilos-userland-review>/components/apt
gmake JOBS=4 deb

( where JOBS - how much parallel build processes you want to use )

You can find your package(s) at: <dilos-userland-review>/i386/debs

How to create new package

create package directory and copy Makefile from another package

update Makefile with build flags (CONFIGURE_OPTIONS)

build package by:

gmake JOBS=4 install

create simple manifest:

gmake simple-manifest

you can find generated manifest at: build/manifest-i386-generated.p5m

move manifest to the root component directory and reame it to another name

example:

mv build/manifest-i386-generated.p5m mycomponent.p5m

update manifest with correct info. If you need more then one package you have to split one manifest to some others. For example take a look another components

build package(s):

gmake JOBS=4 deb

if you want build packages in your component root directory you can add flag WS_DEBS:

example:

gmake JOBS=4 WS_DEBS=`pwd` deb

as result you can find package at your component directory and be able to install it by 'dpkg -i <your package.deb>'
