Packaging files for Varnish Cache

This repository contains the necessary scripts to package up Varnish Cache.

How to build

The flow is roughly:

1) Set up the build environment. On Redhat that is mock, on Debian/Ubuntu you need sbuild. 2) Put the Varnish Cache .tar.gz archive into sources/. 3) Run ./package-deb or ./package-rpm.

Branch structure

This repository will contain a master branch and zero or more maintenance branches.

master should be used to build the last stable release and the development release, all the way up until development diverges enough that it isn't useful/possible any more.

At that point, a maintenance branch should be branched off. These should be deleted from git 12 months after the release is end of life. Before deletion, a git archive of the branch should be extracted and made public.

If you can work around branching, do it. Rather have one slightly untidy packaging ruleset, than two/three slightly different that needs to be kept in sync.

Setting up the Build environment

Debian/Ubuntu

.. _sbuild: https://wiki.debian.org/sbuild
.. _schroot: https://wiki.debian.org/Schroot

    NOTICE: These instructions need improvements. Please send pull
    requests!

* install sbuild_, schroot_ and other required tools::

     sudo apt-get install sbuild schroot debootstrap devscripts

* use ``sbuild-createchroot`` to set up a standard chroot for building
  packages, see sbuild_

  set ``$REL`` to the release to be set up, ``$ARCH`` to the architecture::

     REL=jessie
     ARCH=amd64
     sudo sbuild-adduser $LOGNAME
     sudo sbuild-createchroot \
       --include=eatmydata,ccache,gnupg \
       ${REL} \
       /srv/chroot/${REL}-${ARCH}-sbuild \
       http://httpredir.debian.org/debian

  The ``package-deb`` script assumes a chroot environment by the name
  ``trusty-amd64``, so an alias needs to be added to the chroot we've
  just created::

     echo 'aliases=trusty-amd64' | \
       sudo tee -a /etc/schroot/chroot.d/${REL}-${ARCH}-sbuild-*

RedHat/CentOS
