Packaging

From Caffeine

Jump to: navigation, search

To create a .deb from caffeine we first get the latest code:

  • bzr branch lp:caffeine

Now we create a tarball from it:

  • bzr export ~/Desktop/caffeine-x.x.tar.gz (replace the x's with the version number.)

This will create a .tar.gz archive on your desktop. Extract it:

  • cd ~/Desktop
  • tar -xvf caffeine-x.x.tar.gz
  • cd caffeine-x.x

Compile all the translations:

  • ./update_translations.py

Update the changelog:

  • sudo apt-get install devscripts (Installs dch)
  • dch --release (This will open debian/changelog in a text editor, change the description if need be and then close it.)

Finally build the package. A gpg key is required by debuild to sign the package.

  • debuild (For a .deb)
  • debuild -S -sa (For uploading to a PPA)
