-NAME
- foo - A template project
-
-WTF?
- You may use this project in order to build your own Debian package for
- your own project. This has been tested with Debian GNU/Linux Squeeze and
- Debian GNU/Linux Wheezy.
-
- Feel free to modify any aspects. This project is just an empty example
- foo.
-
- Follow these steps:
-
- Install required packages
- Run the following:
-
- sudo aptitude install lintian devscripts dpkg-dev make perl
-
- Todo: Ensure this are the correct packages. In order to test that I
- would have to setup a blank Debian system.
-
- Compile the project
- Go to the to level directory and run
-
- make
-
- To test run
-
- ./bin/foo
-
- It should print out the version number of the project.
-
- Create a Debian package
- Go to the to level directory and run
-
- make deb
-
- It will create the files like:
-
- ../foo_0.0.0.0_all.deb
- ../foo_0.0.0.0.dsc
- ../foo_0.0.0.0_amd64.changes
- ../foo_0.0.0.0.tar.gz
-
- It should create a debian package in ../. Check and install it, e.g:
-
- lintian --pedantic ../foo_0.0.0.0_all.deb
- sudo dpkg -i ../foo_0.0.0.0_all.deb
-
- Run
-
- dpkg -L foo
-
- to see whats in there. You can now run
-
- /usr/bin/foo
-
- or for example
-
- man foo
-
- Read the Makefile
- Read the Makefile in order to understand what's going on.
-
-Customize
- Now, since you understood everything feel free to customize everything
- the way you want it. E.g.:
-
- Don't use POD for documentation but LaTeX
-
- Compile a C program
-
- Include a ./lib dir, add it to the 'install' Makefile rule
-
- etc etc.
-
- You should also consider the following:
-
- Manual page
- This template is using POD for creating manual pages. Edit
- ./docs/foo.pod and run
-
- make documentation
-
- in order to build ./docs/foo.1. The page will be included in the
- resulting debian package automatically. You can review the page with
-
- man ./docs/foo.1
-
- Renaming foo into your project name
- Rename all files which have *foo* included into your own new package
- name. You can do that with:
-
- PROJECTNAME=yourproject
- find . -name \*foo\* |
- while read foo; do git mv $foo ${foo/foo/$PROJECTNAME}; done
-
- Search all content and rename *foo* into your own new package name. You
- can do that with:
-
- grep -R foo . | grep -v .git |
- cut -d: -f1 | uniq | xargs sed -i "s/foo/$PROJECTNAME/g"
-
- Updating ./debian
- Edit the following files accordingly to your new project (e.g. with
- vim):
-
- ./debian/control
- ./debian/copyright
- ./debian/README
-
- Update changelog
- Go to the to level directory and run
-
- dch -i
-
