ON-15664: Produce debian source package #43

Closed tcrawley-xilinx closed 2 months ago

tcrawley-xilinx commented 2 months ago

This PR adds a new script zf_mksrc which creates a tarball that is then used to create the deb package. This tarball can also be archived in the CI pipeline as a record of the source code that isn't either an rpm or deb (though there are current discussions as to whether this is desirable or not).

onload_make_official_deb has been updated to take a tarball created by zf_mksrc and produce a debiansource tarball/package from this.

The deb creation process is quite similar to the onload script.

I had a quick look at changing debian-templ -> debian, but I couldn't think of a nice way to avoid using #VERSION# in the rules file.

There are some potential improvements such as using dch in zf_make_official_deb to generate a changelog with an appropriate version number at package creation time. I want to think build solution that doesn't use zf_mkdist, but I don't think that blocks these changes so I'll raise it as a future PR.

See Xilinx-CNS/onload_internal#1702 for details of onload-dev package.

jenkins CI updated to now produce a debian source package. Also updated build requirements so it needs onload, onload-dev and build-essential. For some reason we don't provide a nice virtual package from the onload deb, so it uses an OR of all the possible onload and onload-dev variations. It would be nice to improve this, but I don't think it is essential.
