Auto TAG debian package with github commit...

[Creteil]

Hi,

On my side I always tend to make debian package whenever it is possible...

On that way, I also always use commit TAG as the debian package versioning, to be able to find quickly what exact version is installed/running.

To do that, I have :

1) Created a symbolic link :

bigbob@bigbob-t480s:~/tmp/Building/actions-for-nautilus/actions-for-nautilus$ ln -sf packaging/doc/actions-for-nautilus debian

2) I have modified the « Makefile » like this :

bigbob@bigbob-t480s:~/tmp/Building/actions-for-nautilus/actions-for-nautilus$ echo '--- Makefile-orig   2023-12-29 20:18:15.790419491 +0100
+++ Makefile    2023-12-29 20:25:07.476102657 +0100

3) I have updated the « changelog » using this command line :

bigbob@bigbob-t480s:~/tmp/Building/actions-for-nautilus/actions-for-nautilus$ DEBEMAIL="COLIN Stephane <bigbob.fun@gmail.com>" dch -b -v $(git --git-dir .git --work-tree . describe --always --tags | cut -c2-) "Update to latest GIT Version..." && sed -i '$!N; /^\(.*\)\n\1$/!P; D' debian/changelog ; head -10 debian/changelog

4) Then I have build the package with :

bigbob@bigbob-t480s:~/tmp/Building/actions-for-nautilus/actions-for-nautilus$ rm dist/* ; fakeroot make deb
rm -rf build
mkdir -p build//usr/share/nautilus-python

4) This ending with the « debian » package named like this :

bigbob@bigbob-t480s:~/tmp/Building/actions-for-nautilus/actions-for-nautilus$ ls dist/
actions-for-nautilus_1.6.1-4-g0a3c7ce_all.deb
bigbob@bigbob-t480s:~/tmp/Building/actions-for-nautilus/actions-for-nautilus$

Hope it help...
