Add debian package support to OLSRd repository #113

Closed mathiashro closed 3 weeks ago

mathiashro commented 2 years ago

Since Debian removed olsrd from the official package repository and we do not have any active maintainers I prepared all needed filed and updated them as far as I could. Tested on our local server farm (Opennnet Initiative).

There is currently one outstanding item: The resulting olsrd binary is looking for plugins at /usr/lib instead of /usr/lib/olsrd. If someone is able to improve my PR - highly welcome. Also any comment at the whole process.

I'd like to merge it soon, since we are working on a docker-based build process as well and I'd like to finalize that as well.

Yes! Please! So I don't have to clone this repo and update it myself anymore for building debian packages.

To fix /usr/lib/olsrd issue for Debian this should be enough:

Makefile.inc
-LIBDIR   ?= $(USRDIR)/lib
+LIBDIR   ?= $(USRDIR)/lib/olsrd

Hello @vchrizz,

if I remember correctly I found the same patch for the Makefile at older Debian repos but it was not helping here. Do you may have some time for review and testing?

vchrizz commented 2 years ago

For what its worth you can have a look at this page where I have set up a Debian/Ubuntu repo for OLSRd packages: https://repos.freiesnetz.at/ There I also tried to describe in detail how I have set this up and how I build those packages. I used this git repo for those packages: https://salsa.debian.org/vchrizz-guest/olsrd Maybe you find some difference why the libdir patch does not work for you. If you tell me an URL to a git repo you used, I could try that too to build packages and have a look.

(btw. I messaged the Debian maintainer of the OLSRd package a while ago and he told me, if anyone is willing to create Debian packages according to the Debian Policy, he would help with upload/push the packages to the Debian repos)

To simplify the review of this PR I created a new PR with a reduced set of commits and without merges, see https://github.com/OLSR/olsrd/pull/133 . When the PR #133 is merged then this PR here can be closed.
