PROGRAM:
NAME
release-build - convenient script for "building" an upstream project, prior to release to
Ubuntu
SYNOPSIS
release-build
ASSUMPTIONS
This script, along with its partner, release(1), require a particular set of project
parameters to operate properly.
* The project must use bzr(1) and http://launchpad.net
* The project name, [FOO], must match its Launchpad project, http://launchpad.net/[FOO]
* There must be a corresponding Launchpad team, also matching the same name,
http://launchpad.net/~[FOO]
* The team must have a PPA activated, named "ppa"
* The project must use a MAJOR.MINOR versioning scheme
DESCRIPTION
This script will work on a bzr(1) branch with debian packaging in the current directory.
It will:
* automatically determine the project/package name and version by parsing the
debian/changelog file
* clean out the build-area
* create an original tarball
* check the original tarball for common mistakes
* build a local binary deb
* build a set of source packages, for each of a set of supported Ubuntu releases
After the script performs these actions, the next steps are printed to the screen, for the
user to copy-and-paste. These steps include:
* the command to install the package locally (for testing)
* the release command, to move on and make it official
* also the command to revert the changes to the debian/changelog
EXAMPLES
For sample projects/packages that use the release and release-build commands for
publishing, see:
* bikeshed
* byobu
* ecryptfs
* musica
* pictor
* powernap
* screenbin
* testdrive
