hendrik So far I've been advised to look at
hendrikorg.debian.usher
hendrikorg.debian.experimental
Correction: org.debian.usher.experimental
hendrik and
hendriknet.venge.monotone.contrib.usher
Yup. Let me explain a bit how this is organized, and why you need two
of those branches... (it's the same as for monotone itself)
First of all, we have the main usher source, without the debian
packaging stuff. It resides in net.venge.monotone.contrib.usher, and
that's all that should be there.
Then, we have the debian packaging stuff, which ends up in the debian/
subdirectory of the software you want to package. That directory is
in its own separate branch, org.debian.usher and an experimental
sibbling, org.debian.usher.experimental.
At this point, you should read the policy for debian packaging:
https://code.monotone.ca/p/debian-mtn/page/Policy/
(and hey Ludovic! I believe it needs being updated! ;-))
hendrik I'm evidently still doing somethihg wrong -- again -- because after I
hendrik executing
hendrik
hendrik mtn pull mtn://code.monotone.ca/monotone?org.debian.usher
Yup, that's not the correct server. The debian stuff is in
mtn://code.monotone.ca/debian-mtn
However, considering what I wrote above, that isn't enough either.
A quick way to do this is:
mtn clone mtn://code.monotone.ca/contrib?net.venge.monotone.contrib.usher
usher
cd usher
mtn clone mtn://code.monotone.ca/debian-mtn?org.debian.usher debian
The correct way is a little bit more complex. Since Debian packages
are built from source distributions, the correct way is to build a
source distribution, unpack that, clone the debian directory inside
the resulting directory, then build your debian package from there
(using debuild or pbuilder or whatever you fancy)
hendrik On the other hand, I have no trouble getting
hendrik net.venge.monotone.contrib.usher
hendrik which seems to contain an usher without the init.d stuff to start it
at
hendrik boot and keep it up.
Yup, that works.
Cheers,
Richard
