About every 2 years Debian introduces a new release.
The following notes shall provide a step-by-step-plan for adapting the PBA Package Builder + Archiver to a new Debian release and shall make it more efficient for the next Debian.
The first version of this page was created when Debian Buster was on it's way from Full Freeze to GA, we were still using svn
back then (mostly git
now).
Currently we are in the progress of adapting from Bullseye to Bookworm, so this is WORK IN PROGRESS rg. Bookworm.
See https://iteg.atlassian.net/l/cp/SGt5wKvo (access ITEG only for now).
See Adapting FancyLibs & MinGW-Pkg from Debian 9 Stretch to 10 Buster, Mingw-7 to Mingw-8.
See above, use -o unix
.
See above, with -o "unix|9" instead of "-o unix".
Once the new Debian release is settled and all VIP libraries and current projects can be built for it, we can declare it the new default value for DefaultDistribution
in pba-builder.conf
.
${EDITOR:-vi} debian/changelog src/etc/pba/builder.conf.template src/lib/build-functions.pl # commit git commit -m "Making new Debian distro ${NEWDN} default for DefaultDistribution in pba-builder.conf" # release it pba-release |
