.deb binary package for v1.3.x release (ubuntu 16 and debian 8)

[xor-gate]

Probably many people would benefit from a debian package.
@nekromant could you maybe help out (probably a static linked package is the easiest for the user)?

[nekromant]

@xor-gate No problem, I'll see what I can do. As for a statically linked, I think it's better to provide that one as a .tgz and let all the debs be dynamically linked.

Maybe you are right, but we need to be sure the user of the package must install all dependencies first before installing. But that speaks for itself.

Thanks!

Hi @nekromant I have tried myself, but the libgtk+3 dependency is hardcoded. I'm not using this at all and the debianize seems to fail without it installed running:

debuild --no-lintian -us -uc -b -d

make[1]: Leaving directory '/var/lib/jenkins/workspace/Tools_stlink/obj-x86_64-linux-gnu'
   dh_install -O--buildsystem=cmake
dh_install: stlink-gui missing files (/usr/bin/stlink-gui*), aborting

and

dpkg-buildpackage: host architecture amd64
dpkg-checkbuilddeps: Unmet build dependencies: libgtk-3-dev
dpkg-buildpackage: warning: build dependencies/conflicts unsatisfied; aborting
dpkg-buildpackage: warning: (Use -d flag to override.)
debuild: fatal error at line 1376:

As far as I remember it is listed as build-dependency, since when building the packages we (normally) want to build all components. As for the end-user the gtk dependency is only listed in the deb containing the ui, so unless he/she wants the gui, the package can be safely omited.

Here, I quickly packaged the from 1.3.0 branch on my machine. It still thinks it's the 1.2.1 version though, I'll try to fix it by monday.
For now - here go the debs.

Thanks, I'm not 100% happy how debian packages are build. With CPack this is much easier and I have added initial integration: 5b69f25. On debian based systems when make package is invoked it automatically spits out a debian package.
