Building binary packages
pbuilder setup
These comments are made on a gentoo distribution and they are based on https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/packagingguide/C/gs-pbuilder.html.
Install fakeroot package
emerge -av fakeroot
Before running pbuilder, you must fix /etc/hostname temporarily (difference between gentoo and debian environments).
echo "sirac.geopsy.org" > /etc/hostname
Don't forget to remove that file at the end. You may encounter problems on next startup of you gentoo box. Check that hostname -f works properly. If not, check /etc/host of gentoo tree.
pbuilder does not run out of the box. Apparently, arch is not properly set and it must be forced with --debootstrapopts.
pbuilder create --debug --distribution hardy --debootstrapopts --arch=amd64 --mirror "ftp://ftp.proxad.net/mirrors/ftp.ubuntu.com/ubuntu" --othermirror "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy universe multiverse" --debootstrapopts --include=gpgv
Every time you touch /etc/apt/sources.list, don't forget to run apt-get update'.
To modify the build environment:
pbuilder execute --save-after-exec your_script

Quick steps:
cp sesarray-src-2.1.0-snapshot-20081205.tar.gz sesarray_2.1.0.20081205.orig.tar.gz tar xvfpz sesarray_2.1.0.20081205.orig.tar.gz
Edit debian directory
* changelog * control * copyright * rules
For each new version, changelog and control must be updated.
To generate .dsc files (as normal user)
cd sesarray-src-2.1.0-snapshot-20081205 dpkg-buildpackage -S -rfakeroot
To generate the final .deb package (as root)
pbuilder build ../sesarray_2.1.0.20081205-2.dsc
or (for debug)
# Initialization of the build platform cd /var/cache/pbuilder/build mkdir experimental cd experimental tar xfpz ../../base.tgz # For all tries.... pbuilder build --no-targz --buildplace /var/cache/pbuilder/build/experimental --preserve-buildplace ../sesarray_2.1.0.20081205-2.dsc
Copy this file to pool/main on repository
Ubuntu repository
apt-ftparchive is not installed with emerge, it is in /usr/local/apt and you must set paths before
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/apt:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH export PATH=/usr/local/apt:$PATH
cd softwares/packages/ubuntu apt-ftparchive generate ../apt-ftparchive.conf apt-ftparchive -c=../apt-release.conf release dists/hardy > dists/hardy/Release
