Packages

In order to make it easy for users to install the library it is important to have packages available for a large number of popular linux distributions. This page provides the step to build deb and rpm packages.

These packages are available on this page.

Building Packages

rpm packages

Prerequisites

Install the needed packages

• Debian: run the following commands as root

aptitude update
aptitude safe-upgrade
aptitude install mock rpm

Package creation

1. Clone a copy of the repository:

mkdir ~/git
cd ~/git
git clone https://github.com/libparistraceroute/libparistraceroute.git

2. Run automake and friends:

cd ~/git/libparistraceroute
./autogen.sh
./configure

3. The following command to make source rpms as well as your local architecture package.

make rpm

These commands build all the packages of the project (i.e. libparistraceroute and each applications)

• Packages will be created in ./packages/rpm/RPMS.
• Source packages will be in ./packages/rpm/SRPMS.
• If you are creating a new application, you may use the .spec file for paris-traceroute as a template and add a line to ~/git/libparistraceroute/Makefile.am to build your package as well (remember to re-run the configure script after modifying Makefile.am).

4. We will use the 'mock' tool to create packages for other architectures:

mock -r fedora-18-i386 --rebuild packages/rpm/SRPMS/libparistraceroute-0.9-1.src.rpm --resultdir=/tmp
mock -r fedora-18-i386 --rebuild packages/rpm/SRPMS/paris-traceroute-0.9-1.src.rpm --resultdir=/tmp
mock -r fedora-18-x86_64 --rebuild packages/rpm/SRPMS/libparistraceroute-0.9-1.src.rpm --resultdir=/tmp
mock -r fedora-18-x86_64 --rebuild packages/rpm/SRPMS/paris-traceroute-0.9-1.src.rpm --resultdir=/tmp

mock -r fedora-19-i386 --rebuild packages/rpm/SRPMS/libparistraceroute-0.9-1.src.rpm --resultdir=/tmp
mock -r fedora-19-i386 --rebuild packages/rpm/SRPMS/paris-traceroute-0.9-1.src.rpm --resultdir=/tmp
mock -r fedora-19-x86_64 --rebuild packages/rpm/SRPMS/libparistraceroute-0.9-1.src.rpm --resultdir=/tmp
mock -r fedora-19-x86_64 --rebuild packages/rpm/SRPMS/paris-traceroute-0.9-1.src.rpm --resultdir=/tmp

mock -r fedora-20-i386 --rebuild packages/rpm/SRPMS/libparistraceroute-0.9-1.src.rpm --resultdir=/tmp
mock -r fedora-20-i386 --rebuild packages/rpm/SRPMS/paris-traceroute-0.9-1.src.rpm --resultdir=/tmp
mock -r fedora-20-x86_64 --rebuild packages/rpm/SRPMS/libparistraceroute-0.9-1.src.rpm --resultdir=/tmp
mock -r fedora-20-x86_64 --rebuild packages/rpm/SRPMS/paris-traceroute-0.9-1.src.rpm --resultdir=/tmp

Useful mock configuration files are available here.

NOTE: rpm packages are not signed at the moment.

deb packages

Prerequisites

Install the needed packages by running the following commands as root

aptitude update
aptitude safe-upgrade
aptitude install devscripts

Package creation

make dist
make deb

NOTE: At this stage, debian packages are experimental. They are not signed and do not pass lintian tests for instance.

• If you are a maintainer of paris-traceroute packages, you can produce a signed packet by running:

debuild 

• Otherwise, run:

dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc
