Provide Debian Package #6

Closed PhilippWendler closed 6 years ago

PhilippWendler commented 7 years ago

We should build a Debian package that can be used to install the tool, and (optionally) ensures that the necessary modules are loaded.

I've rechecked that the Debian packaging still works with all the recent changes made to the directory structure in commit 09fe41db58e2138983faf0431ec53ffdb50c47c5.

A quick generation of a .deb file within the current project is as follows [description taken from commit 5b7c288030f4154b8eceb55ed7bf1e91b7c5260b]: 1.) 'make dist', 2.) 'dh_make -f cpu-energy-meter-1.1-dev.tar.gz -p cpu-energy-meter-1.1', with the version number changed accordingly, and 3.) dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc

Note that for the third command to be executed successfully, the debian/changelog file needs to be changed such that the version number corresponds with the version number given in the -p argument on the second line, and that the distribution is set to something which is accepted by dh_make, like e.g. unstable.

Done as of March, 2018.

PS: I've written a comprehensive short-guide on how to setup a project such that it allows a quick generation of deb-files that fits to our needs. Maybe I can present that to you within the upcoming days or weeks, @PhilippWendler .

There is now also scripts/create_deb.sh, which automates this. Our GitLab CI builds the Debian package for every push, and one can download it from there.
