Debian package

[okias]

Hello,

would be nice to have classic Debian package, is there someone with at least light experiences with Salsa, who could prepare something eventually included by Debian?

Thank you

Ref #94

openage is a classic cmake-built package, and just has some dependencies. so it shouldn't be hard to create a debian package :)

Oh, I remember...

There was a Debian packaging script: SFTtech/openage-debian#1

I think I used the "Debian Maintainers' Guide" (the scary one).

Nice! If anyone will try to move it to salsa.debian.org/ enable gitlab salsa CI and make lintian happy, I'm offering help with my all (thou beginner) knowledge to get it into best shape. 👍

I created a debian build directory, but my rules files doesn't pass the configure options. rules file:

#!/usr/bin/make -f

export DEB_BUILD_MAINT_OPTIONS = hardening=+all



override_dh_auto_configure:
	dh_auto_configure -- \
		--prefix=/usr/local \
		--compiler=gcc \
		--mode=release
	
%:
	dh $@  

What am I missing here?

Hi! openage is actually a cmake project, the configure and make files are there only for convenience. You should thus build and package it like one does with cmake.

We have a repo for debian-packaging already: https://github.com/SFTtech/openage-debian
If you find improvements, please submit them there :)

We can think about moving the debian folder to the main repo once we're satisfied enough with the procedure.

ok, didn't know that.

Should I just send a MR? Also, should libopenage be a separate packageẞ

[TheJJ]

Yes, please send pull requests! I don't think it is important currently to split out libopenage to a binary package since the api is definitely not stable, and it is tightly coupled with the rest of the codebase. But if it's easy and useful to do, why not :)
