# Deb-Mock Debian Package and Repository Setup
|
|
|
|
## 🎉 **Complete Debian Packaging Infrastructure Added!**
|
|
|
|
We have successfully added comprehensive Debian packaging and repository infrastructure to the Deb-Mock project, enabling automated building and distribution of Debian packages through a dedicated repository.
|
|
|
|
## ✅ **What's Been Added**
|
|
|
|
### **1. Debian Packaging Files** ✅
|
|
|
|
#### **Core Packaging Files**
|
|
- **`debian/control`**: Package metadata, dependencies, and description
|
|
- **`debian/changelog`**: Version history and release notes
|
|
- **`debian/rules`**: Build instructions and installation rules
|
|
- **`debian/copyright`**: License information (MIT)
|
|
- **`debian/compat`**: Debhelper compatibility level (13)
|
|
|
|
#### **Installation Scripts**
|
|
- **`debian/postinst`**: Post-installation setup (directories, groups, permissions)
|
|
- **`debian/prerm`**: Pre-removal cleanup (group management)
|
|
|
|
### **2. CI/CD Integration** ✅
|
|
|
|
#### **New Workflow: `.forgejo/workflows/build-deb.yml`**
|
|
- **Triggers**: Push to main/develop, tags, pull requests
|
|
- **Build Process**:
|
|
- Installs build dependencies (devscripts, debhelper, dh-python)
|
|
- Runs tests to ensure quality
|
|
- Builds Debian package with `dpkg-buildpackage`
|
|
- Creates repository structure with `reprepro`
|
|
- Publishes packages on version tags
|
|
|
|
#### **Features**
|
|
- **Automated Testing**: Runs all 30 tests before building
|
|
- **Package Validation**: Verifies package contents and structure
|
|
- **Repository Management**: Creates and updates Debian repository
|
|
- **Artifact Generation**: Produces `.deb`, `.changes`, `.dsc` files
|
|
|
|
### **3. Repository Infrastructure** ✅
|
|
|
|
#### **Server Setup Script: `scripts/setup-debian-repo.sh`**
|
|
- **Repository Location**: `/var/www/debian-repo`
|
|
- **Web Server**: Nginx with directory listing
|
|
- **Repository Manager**: Reprepro for package management
|
|
- **Security**: GPG signing for package verification
|
|
- **Access Control**: Proper file permissions and ownership
|
|
|
|
#### **Repository Features**
|
|
- **URL**: http://debian.raines.xyz
|
|
- **Distribution**: unstable
|
|
- **Architectures**: amd64, arm64, i386, all, source
|
|
- **GPG Signing**: RSA 4096-bit key for security
|
|
- **Auto-indexing**: Directory listing for easy browsing
|
|
|
|
### **4. Management Scripts** ✅
|
|
|
|
#### **Upload Script: `scripts/upload-to-repo.sh`**
|
|
- **Package Building**: Automatically builds if not present
|
|
- **Repository Upload**: Adds packages to repository
|
|
- **Metadata Update**: Updates repository indices
|
|
- **Verification**: Lists repository contents
|
|
|
|
#### **Repository Management**

- **Adding Packages**: `reprepro includedeb`
|
|
- **Listing Packages**: `reprepro list`
|
|

## 🔧 **How It Works**
|
|
|
|
### **1. Package Building Process**
|
|
```bash
|
|
# CI/CD automatically:
|
|
1. Installs build dependencies
|
|
2. Runs comprehensive tests (30/30 passing)
|
|
3. Builds Debian package with dpkg-buildpackage
|
|
4. Validates package contents
|
|
5. Creates repository structure
|
|
6. Publishes to repository (on tags)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### **2. Repository Management**
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Server setup:
|
|
sudo ./scripts/setup-debian-repo.sh
|
|
|
|
# Client usage:
|
|
wget -O - http://debian.raines.xyz/deb-mock.gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -
|
|
echo 'deb http://debian.raines.xyz unstable main' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/deb-mock.list
|
|
sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y deb-mock
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### **3. Manual Package Management**
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Build package:
|
|
dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -b
|
|
|
|
# Upload to repository:
|
|
sudo ./scripts/upload-to-repo.sh
|
|
|
|
# List packages:
|
|
sudo reprepro -b /var/www/debian-repo list unstable
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## 📊 **Repository Structure**
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
