Packaging for LINUX
If you are a package maintainer and wish for your packaging scripts to be included in the Hydrogen source tree, we would be happy to work with you. Please contact the developer mailing list (see the Hydrogen home page). The instructions below are for the package systems that have been contributed so far.
In order to create a .deb package for Debian-based systems (like
Debian, Devuan, Ubuntu, or Mint), you first need the debhelper
package:
$ sudo apt-get install debhelperTo build the Hydrogen package, run the following commands.
$ git clone git://github.com/hydrogen-music/hydrogen.git
$ cd hydrogen
$ cd linux
$ dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -b -uc -us
This will place the .deb package and description files in the parent directory. If you wish to change the version number for the archive, edit linux/debian/changelog to set the version. To install the newly created deb package, run the following (substitute the deb package name with the version your build created):
$ cd ..
$ sudo dpkg -i hydrogen_X.Y.Z_amd64.deb
