This directory contains Docker recipes to create packages (RPM, Deb) build environments. It allows one to create functionnal packages for the supported Linux distributions; the packaging process does probably not respect each distribution, contributions are welcome.

Preparation

Ensure the Docker runtime is installed, and run 'make' in this directory to rebuild all.

HTTP/HTTPS proxies can be specified by defining the http_proxy and https_proxy environment variables before running make.

This creates Docker images named as fairshell-<distribution>-builder (like fairshell-fedora-builder).

Usage

To create a package from sources for a specific distribution, run a Docker container associated with the distribution and specify:

• the VERSION, NAME of the package to build;
• the UID and GID of the user (used to set the correct permissions on the generated package files), typically this should be $(id -u) and $(id -g) respectively.
• the tarball file using the -v option to map it to the /tarball.tar.gz file in the Docker container
• the output directory where the generated packages will be, also using the -v option to map it to the /out directory in the Docker container.

For example:

docker run --rm -e "VERSION=1.0.0" -e "NAME=ThePackage" \
     -e "UID=$(id -u)" -e "GID=$(id -g)" \
     -v "/path/to/sources.tar:/tarball.tar.gz:ro" -v "/path/to/out-directory:/out" "fairshell-debian-builder"

The command returns 0 if the package(s) was(were) built, and another value if an error occurred.
