How to build a .deb for a plugin (0.4 only)

ryecoaaron · 29. März 2013

Here a some quick tips on how to build the .deb for a plugin. Probably lots of ways to do this but this is what I did to make a new cups .deb as an example.

1. Install the needed packages

Code

apt-get install fakeroot debhelper build-essential unzip

2. Get the source

Code

wget http://packages.omv-plugins.org/pool/main/o/openmediavault-cups/openmediavault-cups_0.4-6~1.gbp368731.tar.gz

3. Extract the source

Code

tar xvzf openmediavault-cups_0.4-6~1.gbp368731.tar.gz

4. Create the .deb

Code

cd openmediavault-cups-0.4
fakeroot debian/rules clean binary

Build Packages from git:

Clone the git Repository.

Checkout the correct branch

Code

git checkout develop

Code

rm -rf usr/share/openmediavault/locale
rm -f debian/rules
git checkout usr/share/openmediavault/locale
git checkout debian/rules
git pull origin develop
git-dch --snapshot --auto --ignore-branch
git-buildpackage --git-ignore-branch --git-builder='dpkg-buildpackage -T binary' --git-ignore-new

Why?

Code

rm -rf usr/share/openmediavault/locale
rm -f debian/rules

Those files get modified during the build process.
Those lines are just to make git happy.
