Debian packaging #29

Closed mp4096 closed 7 years ago

mp4096 commented 7 years ago

We have to look into cargo-deb.

@syxolk Do you think dynamic linking to GNU libc is ok? Or should we compile with musl?

mp4096 commented 7 years ago

Ugh, musl support seems to be Tier 2. Ok, then gnu-libc.

syxolk commented 7 years ago

What do you mean with tier 2? ripgrep also provides musl binaries.

mp4096 commented 7 years ago

See this overview of supported platforms.

As I understand it, Tier 1 == works out of the box, Tier 2 == will probably work after some googling, Tier 3 == here be dragons.

syxolk commented 7 years ago

I wouldn't be so pessimistic about Tier 2 but I'm also ok with gnu-libc since it's pretty stable (compared to libc++).

Update: Especially for a debian package one can expect to have a decent version of libc preinstalled.

I wouldn't be so pessimistic about Tier 2

Sure, I mean we use armv7-unknown-linux-gnueabihf for the emoji stuff and it works like a charm (after some googling and configuring cargo). But stuff like i586-pc-windows-msvc?..

What do you think about 32bit systems?

mp4096 commented 7 years ago

I don't want to support them. Indentex is by no means a mission-critical piece of software, so hopefully nobody would want to install it on an old 32-bit system.

syxolk commented 7 years ago

Should we package a man file?

mp4096 commented 7 years ago

No, I think indentex --help + web documentation should be enough for the first time being. When we have a spec (hoho) and a website (hohoho), we can think about manfiles.

mp4096 commented 7 years ago

Finally, a working auto packaging and deployment! :sweat:
