Debian Build Notes

### some debian environment pieces:
$ cat >>~/.bashrc <<EOF
     DEBEMAIL=your.email.address@example.org
     DEBFULLNAME="Firstname Lastname"
     EOF

### Setup a crystal clean source package, with lower program name and version number
$ svn co https://svn.met.no/kvoss/kvQc2/trunk/kvqc2-0.9.0
$ tar cvf kvqc2-0.9.0.tar kvqc2-0.9.0/
$ gzip kvqc2-0.9.0.tar

### For this sandbox exercise I made up the 0.9.0 version number ... but Debian likes that and needs it!

###Initial debianisation
$ cd  kvqc2-0.9.0/
pak@pak:~/DEBIAN-SANDBOX/kvqc2/kvqc2-0.9.0$ dh_make -f ../kvqc2-0.9.0.tar.gz

Type of package: single binary, multiple binary, library, kernel module or cdbs?

Currently there is no top level Makefile. This may require additional tuning.
Done. Please edit the files in the debian/ subdirectory now. You should also
check that the kvqc2 Makefiles install into $DESTDIR and not in / .

Lets look now into the debian directory and see what needs to be done:

Some initial minor mods: 

Source: kvqc2
Section: science
Priority: extra
Maintainer: kvalobs <kvalobs@met.no>
Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 5)
Standards-Version: 3.7.2

Package: kvqc2

How to find what to put in Build-Depends, go to an autobuilt version of kvqc2:

  NEEDED      libkvalobs_kvskel.so.1
  NEEDED      libkvalobs_dnmithread.so.1
  NEEDED      libkvalobs_miconfparser.so.1

Or … 

kvalobs@pak:~/kvQc2-svn/trunk$  dpkg-depcheck -d ./configure
...
...
Packages needed:
  postgresql-server-dev-8.3
  m4
  libc6-i686

  libboost-filesystem-dev
  libboost-thread-dev

  libxml++2.6-dev
  libboost-program-options-dev
  libboost-regex-dev
  g77-3.4

  gawk

This leads to a first guess of (probably over the top):

Package: kvqc2
Architecture: any
Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, ${misc:Depends}, sqlite3
Description: Non-real-time and geo-statistical quality controls.                       
The geo-statistical algorithms will make up the QC2-ROM (space-control) 
 and will rely on: handling of data-sets comprising points from the 
 whole station network of interest, filtering of uncertain values before 
 and after checks, gridding of data and iterative techniques, 
 kriging interpolation and cross-validation, as well as the additional 
 user-defined algorithms performing specific checks on data selected 
 by the QC2-ROM engine in both time and/or space.

TODO FIXME

THIS STEP NOT INCLUDED …. did not provide clear results, docs not clear 

   $ dpkg -S libfoo.so.6

Then you just take -dev version of every package as Build-Depends entry.

TODO FIXME

Minor changes to the “rules” file, and added some flag spec from the synopd case

compat echo 7 > debian/compat

/ not available on the ubuntu system … so this went back to 5 Now try to make a package by writing in . the source directory: 

$ dpkg-buildpackage

Now try to sort out all the dependencies … many errors: 

	dpkg-shlibdeps -Tdebian/kvqc2.substvars debian/kvqc2/usr/local/bin/kvqc2
dpkg-shlibdeps: failure: no dependency information found for /metno/kvalobs/lib/libkvalobs_dnmithread.so.1 (used by debian/kvqc2/usr/local/bin/kvqc2).
dh_shlibdeps: command returned error code 512
make: *** [binary-arch] Error 1
dpkg-buildpackage: failure: fakeroot debian/rules binary gave error exit status 2

I would like to include items such as metlibs-putools-dev but caanot get access to the internal met sources from my external machine, i.e. such like: 

$ apt-get update
...
W: Failed to fetch http://mirror.oslo.dnmi.no/development/dists/etch/contrib/i18n/Translation-en_US.bz2  Could not connect to mirror.oslo.dnmi.no:80 (157.249.16.70). - connect (111 Connection refused)
...

Switching to Internal Test Machine

Work has been switched to an internal virtual machine where package dependencies are more easily met. Since the machine wants to remain confidential she is hereafter referred to as AGNES.

The following are addiitonal libraries installed on AGNES to compile Qc2: 

 apt-get install libgsl0-dbg
 apt-get install libgsl0-dev
 apt-get install proj
 apt-get install netcdfg-dev

Then test the build: 

 autoreconf -i
./configure --prefix=$MY-DIRS/deploy
 make
 make install

Afterwards ran as kvalobs: $MY-DIRS/deploy/bin/kvqc2 OUTPUT as follows:

First debian package construction ...

 mkdir DEBIAN-SANDBOX
 cd DEBIAN-SANDBOX/
svn co https://svn.met.no/kvoss/kvQc2/trunk/
mv trunk kvqc2-0.9.0
tar cvf kvqc2-0.9.0.tar kvqc2-0.9.0/
gzip kvqc2-0.9.0.tar

Now I would do something like the following if from scratch … but this has already been done and the “debain” directory exists in the svn repositpory. But I just add this box here for reference (note my paths were a little different on pak (extra kvqc2): 

###Initial debianisation
$ cd  kvqc2-0.9.0/
pak@pak:~/DEBIAN-SANDBOX/kvqc2/kvqc2-0.9.0$ dh_make -f ../kvqc2-0.9.0.tar.gz

pak@pak:~/DEBIAN-SANDBOX/kvqc2/kvqc2-0.9.0$ 
cd kvqc2-0.9.0
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot

Some useful commands: 

 dpkg --get-selections # see what is installed
 dpgk -s kvalobs # get all the details on a package

Running “dpgk -s kvalobs” one can see all the dependencies defined for kvalobs, jolly useful for building like packages. For kvqc2 .. just need to add “kvalobs” to the control:
