Local binary build

[jhgorse]

Hi,

Thank you for this project. It is a real life saver.

Hopefully quick question, how do I use this to build/reproduce the deadsnakes build for a specific ubuntu python release locally? Say for example, ubuntu/jammy python3.11.3.

I can see some hints in updating.md and the build logs, but can't quite get Docker to kick off. Thoughts?

Cheers, Joe

it's just standard gbp (or you can skip gbp and use the dpkg building tools)

unfortunately I don't have the time to teach you for free but there are plenty of resources out there

Thank you for writing.

For anyone who comes along and tries to reproduce, here are my breadcrumbs for ubuntu 22.04.4:

sudo apt-get install git dpkg-dev devscripts git-buildpackage
git config --global user.name 'Anthony Sottile (deadsnakes)'
git config --global user.email 'asottile+deadsnakes@umich.edu'
export DEBFULLNAME='Anthony Sottile (deadsnakes)'
export DEBEMAIL='asottile+deadsnakes@umich.edu'
gpg --generate-key

git clone https://github.com/deadsnakes/python3.11 -b debian/3.11.3-1+jammy2
git clone https://github.com/deadsnakes/runbooks
# patch ./runbooks/build to include `--git-ignore-branch` where you see `--git-pristine-tar`
cd python3.11 && ../runbooks/build --git-build

It was not and is still not obvious what branch was supposed to be used for the deadsnakes/python3.11 repository. I suspect that is why I needed to add --git-ignore-branch. None of the update or import scripts appeared to run successfully or give useful error messages regarding the assumed initial state.

This did build and pass the runbooks/quick-test.

Cheers, Joe

that's definitely not correct and please don't impersonate me

Ok.

Where did the debian folder come from? Is this a copy from their package management team?
