Tools for Debian/Ubuntu Launchpad
Project description
Some tools for easy submission to launchpad.
Usage
All options are documented under launchpad-submit -h.
Sometimes, you may want to submit a source package with a Debian configuration that is available somewhere else. This may help setting up a nightly submission process. As an example, take the nightly submission script for a Mixxx PPA.
#!/bin/sh -ue TMP_DIR=$(mktemp -d) cleanup() { rm -rf "$TMP_DIR"; } trap cleanup EXIT ORIG_DIR="$TMP_DIR/orig" CACHE="$HOME/.cache/repo/mixxx" git -C "$CACHE" pull || git clone "https://github.com/mixxxdj/mixxx.git" "$CACHE" git clone --shared "$CACHE" "$ORIG_DIR" VERSION=$(grep "define MIXXX_VERSION" "$ORIG_DIR/src/defs_version.h" | sed "s/[^0-9]*\([0-9][\.0-9]*\).*/\1/") FULL_VERSION="$VERSION~$(date +"%Y%m%d%H%M%S")" CACHE="$HOME/.cache/repo/mixxx-debian" git -C "$CACHE" pull || git clone "git://anonscm.debian.org/git/pkg-multimedia/mixxx.git" "$CACHE" rsync -a "$CACHE/debian" "$ORIG_DIR" launchpad-submit \ --work-dir "$TMP_DIR" \ --ubuntu-releases trusty xenial yakkety zesty \ --ppa nschloe/mixxx-nightly \ --version-override "$FULL_VERSION" \ --version-append-hash \ --update-patches
