Asset hugo_0.102.0_Linux-64bit.deb has files in wrong location

[zaitseff]

Thanks for creating and releasing Hugo!

The latest release asset for Debian, hugo_0.102.0_Linux-64bit.deb, has its built files in the wrong location:

$ dpkg-deb -c hugo_0.102.0_Linux-64bit.deb
-rwxr-xr-x root/root     11347 2022-08-29 02:28 ./LICENSE
-rwxr-xr-x root/root     10927 2022-08-29 02:28 ./README.md
-rwxr-xr-x root/root  55280808 2022-08-29 02:35 ./hugo

If one were to install this DEB file, it would place the hugo binary in the root directory. It should be something like /usr/local/bin/hugo instead. Similarly, LICENSE and README.md should be non-executable and placed in something like /usr/local/share/doc/hugo.

Previous releases using the old build process did exactly that.

I haven't investigated any other build assets: similar issues may exist with the new build setup.

I'm pretty sure this is a "Deb thing" only, thanks for the report, I will fix this tomorrow.

Thanks for the quick response! Yes, it seems that all DEB versions (64bit, ARM64, _extended 64bit, ARM64) have this particular issue.

Ah. Am assuming this is why my usual GitHub Action for building the site (with Embedded Dart Sass) failed, with a hugo: command not found error, after it installed hugo_extended_0.102.0_Linux-64bit.deb:

check_suite_focus=true#step:8:8).sh: line 1: hugo: command not found
Error: Process completed with exit code [12](https://github.com/brycewray/hugo_site/runs/8060357563?

But, as Scarlett O’Hara would remind us, “Tomorrow is another day.” 😄

Note: Locally, the new universal “fat” binary for macOS works just fine. 👍

@brycewray yea, thinking about it I should have deleted those Debs when this issue was raised, that would have produced less noise ...

Just a note, I checked one of the deb archives in v0.101.0;

root@ubuntu:~/hugo/debtest# dpkg -c hugo_0.101.0_Linux-ARM.deb
drwxr-xr-x 0/0               0 2022-06-16 07:51 ./usr/
drwxr-xr-x 0/0               0 2022-06-16 07:51 ./usr/local/
drwxr-xr-x 0/0               0 2022-06-16 07:51 ./usr/local/bin/
-rwxr-xr-x 0/0        47710208 2022-06-16 07:26 ./usr/local/bin/hugo

Just the binary, no "extra files", which is what I'm going to do here.
