build/package scripts for debian and ubuntu

[Ryan Braun [ADS]]

Here are the scripts I've created for building and packaging 389 for various 
debian and ubuntu distributions.

Current targets are etch,lenny,squeeze,karmic and lucid.

I haven't tested these extensively,  but they all seem to build/install and 
return proper results when running test ldapsearch's.

One slight note,  on any target newer then etch,  you'll likely need to sym 
link /usr/lib/nss/libsofttokn3.so to /usr/lib or the building of mozldap will 
break and the directory server will not function aswell.  Not sure why that 
is yet.

Give them a whirl and let me know how they work for you.

Thanks.  I'll note that current 389-ds-base master branch in git can use 
openldap instead of mozldap (configure .... --with-openldap) if you'd 
rather not mess with mozldap

Oh wow,  I haven't looked at the ./configure opts for the ds in sometime.  
Back to the drawing board :)  I haven't had any issue with mozldap,  but the 
less packages I have to hand maintain the better.

There is preliminary support in 389-ds-base 1.2.6 - code in git master 
(1.2.7 alpha) has much better support, and for the other components too 
- 389-adminutil, 389-admin

The ldif stuff will not work without some patches for openldap 2.4.22 
and later.  If you're interested, I can point you to the patches.

Hi all,

I'm trying to collect all the people interested in the ubuntu/debian 
packaging. As of now I'm in touch with one of the debian packager too.

Probably this list is the best place where to share our infos..

@Ryan: thx for your files: I'm going to test it!

@Rich: if the --openldap is not fully functional or needs some patches still 
not included in ubuntu, maybe it's better to remain on mozldap...

Peace,
R.

Yeah - the other thing is that openldap on debian uses gnutls?

Hi all,

I'd create an git repository with Ryan scripts. they are great and really easy 
to understand!

Moreover, as those scripts have some parts in common, I'm refactoring them 
using functions, tmpfiles and some further bash commodities..

I'm trying to involve other people too.

@richm: if for Ryan is fine,  can you create a git repository to let people 
collaborate about them?

@ryan: feel free to chat me on robipolli(a)gmail.com for discussing on that 
issue

Otherwise I'll create a yet-another-debian-scripts-for-389-org repository on 
sourceforge.

Let me know+Peace,
R.

Hi all!

Maybe you could be interested about this Debian Alioth project

   http://pkg-fedora-ds.alioth.debian.org/

I'm in touch with the maintainer. 

As of now there are no such script cool like the Ryan one: while Ryan retrieve 
files from 389org website and packages them, debian archive needs to pull 
changes from svn and then rebuild.

Anyway their work on debian/* files seems to be better, including some 
customisation for debian/ubuntu.

I wish we'll be able to join all our efforts!

Peace,
R.

I'm not sure what you mean.  Do you want these scripts to go into 389 
upstream?  And use the 389 git repo for this?  Is that how it works in 
the debian world?  For fedora, for example, all of the build 
scripts/spec files are kept in the fedora repo - pkgs.fedoraproject.org 
- how does debian handle it?

Well, you don't have to use sourceforge - github is nice.  But yes, 
there should be an official place for debian build scripts - either they 
should go into the debian build system, or into 389 upstream.  I'd 
rather have the former.

not now ;) 

I wish we could create such a community to support and maintain in QA all the 
needed debian scripts.

There are plenty of
part-time 389 packager for debian, ubuntu & co, everyone 
with his own repo. I tried to contact a lot of people these days, and only one 
responded...

Afaik all the packaging job is done outside the 389
community: to me this is 
wrong.

The sabayon packaging taught me that distro-specific issues can improve the 
knowledge of the software.

So the point: we need one "official" place tied to the 389 community. The 
repository doesn't have to be the 389 one, but anyway should be something more 
official.

Glad to hear from you+Peace,
R.

PS: About the repos: I still manage several project on sourceforge, so I don't 
have to create another account.

It would be nice for the debian maintainer of these packages to also be 
a 389 community member.  But this seems to be quite a common problem - 
the upstream project developers have no presence in the distro packaging.

IMHO, the "official" place is either the 389 repo or the debian
package 
repo.  Anything else will lead to fragmentation, neglect, and bit rot.

Why can't these scripts go into the debian package repo?  Are they 
different than the scripts used to produce the official debian packages?

The official debian distribution doesn't support 389: there are some 
extensions like  EPEL repository. The 389 is in one of these named alioth. I'm 
in touch with that guy, but he has few time to maintain.

Somebody forked that debian repo to create Ubuntu packages: the differences 
are in package dependencies like libc & co.

>  Why can't these scripts go into the debian package repo?  
I'm investigating in how to create officially supported package for debian. My 
aim is to create something that would fit both on debian and ubuntu: that 
should manage dependencies and versions.

So I thought that an automatic script repo should fit for all...

>  Are they

I
don't think so. The QA procedures are different: ubuntu packages need to be 
gpg-signed by an authorized key and put on one PPA (personal repos).

The debian race may be different...

Today I'll publish on sourceforge Ryan scripts and start working on that...

Keep in touch+Peace,
R:

Ok.  There is precedent for having a debian packaging subdirectory in 
the upstream code.  I think Samba does this for some projects.  I'm 
willing to add this to the 389 upstream repos.  This will still require 
a Fedora CLA in order to contribute to the 389 upstream.  Also note that 
each package has its own source repository - 389-ds-base, 389-admin, 
389-adminutil, etc. etc. - each one would have a debian packaging 
subdirectory which would contain scripts and makefiles to build a debian 
package for just that component.  Also note that there is no source 
repository for 389-ds since it is just a "meta" package in Fedora/EPEL 
and may be replaced by a package group at some point.
