Lovely, thanks :)

[DNG] [OT] dyne.org server migration

[Jaromil]

dear dng'ers

Today we finished the migration of core infrastructure servers at
dyne.org including the ones running this mailinglist and serving devuan
developers with the video conference and crypto pad web applications.

It seems all went smoothly, this mail is to inform you and to have a
final test on production lists.

I will be at Devuan's dev meeting later today for feedback.

To all those following the Gregorian calendar, my best wishes: HNY!

ciao

Until some time ago I was able to build the old versions of X, certainly
until 52.x. -- I had also made a guide for building Icecat:
https://libreplanet.org/wiki/Group:IceCat/Compile_and_package/build_52.6.0_on_Devuan_2.0.0_ASCII_64bit

Now the building process seems changed. So, please, could anyone give a
guide (even if schematic) on how to build current Firefox/Icecat releases?

Thanks in advance

I am sorry... X --> Firefox/Icecat

I did it recently.

PREREQUISITES:

I recommend a fresh install of devuan chimaera amd64 on a computer with 8G RAM,
and a swap partition of 16 GB.

--  HOWTO --

Here you are a quick guide:

- Add the repository of gnuinos chimaera

- Download the sources of icecat-78.15. They contain all the lang-packs:

$ apt-get source icecat

- Init an empty git repository and import the description file of icecat:

$ gbp import-dsc ../icecat*.dsc

- Adjust debian/browser.mozconfig.in to suite your needs (see the section "Configure 
the build" in your link above).

- Install git-buildpackage, quilt, pbuilder and cowbuilder

- Create a jail containing a base system of devuan chimaera i386 in 
/var/cache/pbuilder/base.cow:

 $ sudo cowbuilder --create --distribution="chimaera" --architecture="i386" 
--mirror http://deb.devuan.org/merged

- Build the packages:

$ gbp buildpackage --git-pbuilder --git-pbuilder-options="--host-arch i386"  
--git-export-dir="../build-area"

git-buildpackage will ask you for sudo's password, and probably you'll need to 
install previously aptitude in the jail.
If so, chroot /var/cache/pbuilder/base.cow and install aptitude. All the build 
dependencies will be installed automatically.

The packages of icecat i386 will appear in ../build-area.

Good lock :)

Aitor.

In the case of amd64, skip all the steps related to pbuilder and run:

$ gbp buildpackage --git-export-dir="../build-area"

... fresh install, because I assume you haven't 16 GB of swap.

Otherwise, the kernel may interrupt the build process due to the lack of shared 
memory,
getting a SIGKILL signal coming from PID=0.

[DNG] create .deb packages with alien

[Ismael L. Donis Garcia]

Until recently I have created .deb packages with alien I don't know if when 
updating to chimaera it broke down because I haven't done it for a while 

Now I get the following error
 
And I need to do it with alien since from the package I take a series of data 
that it generates automatically 

I really use trampoline alien as it is said in the place where I live, since in 
the end I create it with: dpkg-deb 

But cel created with alien took the md5sums file

--version=2.1 -k --fixperms sisconge_2.0.1_amd64.tar.gz

I would start from https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/alien and check the 
links https://bugs.debian.org/alien and https://tracker.debian.org/alien

I never used alien, but maybe you should override dh_usrlocal. The path 
/usr/local/bin is for binaries built from sources,

whereas binaries provided by .deb packages go to /usr/bin. I don't know how to 
do this with alien.

HTH,

Aitor.
