Debian packaging #29

Closed mdeguzis closed 8 years ago

mdeguzis commented 8 years ago

Adds debian packaging, with a workaround if you are using pbuilder. You'll want to change the maintainer of course etc.

Feel free to discard if you don't want distro specific stuff here.

Thank you for that, I'm interested but I'm a bit clueless when it comes to building debian packages, how does this work exactly?

When I try to invoke dpkg-buildpackage I get:

dpkg-buildpackage: warning:     debian/changelog(l2): found end of file where expected first heading
dpkg-buildpackage: error: fatal error occurred while parsing debian/changelog

Also I'm surprised that you're packaging rustation and not rustation-libretro, especially since your install script does:

echo "*target/release/*.so usr/lib/$(dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_MULTIARCH)/libretro"`

If this is supposed to copy the rustation .so core in the libretro directory I don't see how it can work from the rustation repo since it only creates librustation.rlib. The actual core is generated by rustation-libretro by linking against this rlib.

Your libretro readme said to submit items against this repo. I will fix the changelog. Will you accept it there? Sorry for the confusion then.

Ah yeah, I meant it mostly for the issues, not PRs. It doesn't make a lot of sense to make PRs against the wrong repo. It's a bit messy though, maybe I could figure out a better system.

But yes, please do it against the -libretro repo, I'm going to close this PR. Sorry for the inconvenience.
