mycroft-packaging

Scripts for creating distributable debian packages for Mycroft. The script uses debhelper and dh-virtualenv to create a virtualenv installation where mycroft can modify the python modules without the risks of modifying the host environment.

Setup

Run the dependencies.sh script to install the prerequisite packages for the build.

Building mycroft core, using default "dev" branch

./publish/publish.sh

Using specified branch

./publish/publish.sh feature/some-branch-to-test

Build a branch without cleaning and re-cloning the source code

./publish/publish.sh feature/some-branch-to-test --no-clean

Building a release version

./publish/publish.sh release

Building in docker

To make building for different distributions easier a couple of example dockerfiles are included.

To build a docker container for the build copy the appropriate container to the root of the repo

cp docker/Dockerfile.disco Dockerfile

then build the docker container

docker build . -t desktop-package-builder-disco

after that you can run the image to build the package. To retrieve the package you need to specify a /host volume, for example:

docker run -v "`pwd`/debs:/host" -it desktop-package-builder-disco
