| jdbrowne | maxb: yes, finally the steps are simple, "svn co svn://my-script" then "cd my-script", then "dpkg-buildpackage -r" to get a package. And the debian/rules is super short. I used dh_install and I wrote a debian/my-script.install file. Less than ten lines of code to generate a package. | 09:24 |
|---|---|---|
| maxb | You don't need -r | 09:24 |
| jdbrowne | ok, then I do not need dh_testroot either in the build. I am trying to understand whether I need dh_testdir, dh_testroot. The manpage explains what these command do while I do not know whether I should do it or not. Finally my debian/rules seems to work fine with only dh_clean in the clean target and only dh_{prep,install,gencontrol,builddeb} in the binary-indep target | 09:46 |
| jdbrowne | I thought the -r was mandatory for making root the owner of the files in the package. I wonder why the -r exists if dpkg-buildpackage can make the file own by root without the -r option. Maybe the -r is just to make it possible to change the default command to gain root. | 09:53 |
| maxb | jdbrowne: No, you should keep dh_testroot | 10:13 |
| maxb | You don't need -r because dpkg-buildpackage uses fakeroot by default | 10:13 |
| jdbrowne | I have read the man of dh_testroot ("dh_testroot - ensure that a package is built as root") and the footnotes of the debian policy mentionning fakeroot (http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/footnotes.html#f23) without understanding why it is important to use dh_testroot. Do you know the reason why I should use it? | 10:19 |
| maxb | You should use it to verify that the package you're about to build will have proper owner/group/mode info set | 10:21 |
| maxb | It's there as a safeguard to prevent an accidentally wrong invocation silently building a package with wrong permissions | 10:21 |
| jdbrowne | sorry for insisting, which command or situation could lead to an accidental invocation building incorrectly the package? another tool than dpkg-buildpackage? | 10:36 |
| Decepticon | During the session, Kirkland invited participants to ssh into an Amazon EC2 instance with a shared screen session which he used to illustrate various screen-profiles capabilities | 11:17 |
| Decepticon | can we do this, i want to see what this looks like | 11:17 |
| oldman_ | ah | 13:00 |
| oldman_ | was wondering why the lesson wasn't starting | 13:00 |
| oldman_ | 14th May, not 13th | 13:00 |
| oldman_ | :/ | 13:00 |
| jdbrowne | Are there solutions to install packages from a repository into the user's home bin? without modifying the system's dpkg database, just the user dpkg database. | 14:38 |
| Mamarok | jdbrowne: you should ask in @ubuntu, this is not a support channel | 14:58 |
| jdbrowne | ok, | 14:59 |
