Packaging

New Language or Pair Package

svn co https://svn.code.sf.net/p/apertium/svn/branches/packaging
cd packaging

# Copy apertium-kaz-tat because update-control.pl expects it
svn cp trunk/apertium-kaz-tat trunk/apertium-arg-cat

# Automatically adjust many tiny details
./update-control.pl trunk/apertium-arg-cat Aragonese Catalan

# Determine last changed revision
svn info https://svn.code.sf.net/p/apertium/svn/trunk/apertium-arg-cat | grep 'Last Changed Rev'

# Double-check debian/control and fix debian/changelog with the version and revision

# Determine copyrights and stuff those into debian/copyright, along with any other adjustments needed there
svn log -q https://svn.code.sf.net/p/apertium/svn/trunk/apertium-arg-cat | awk '{print $3 "\t" $5}' | ./authors.php

# Add the package to packages.json

svn ci -m "Packaged arg-cat"

Release to Debian

• cd packaging

Prerequisites

• A 4096 bit GnuPG key published to the various keyservers
• An Alioth login
• Access to the Debian Science team

Control Files in Subversion

Ensure control files correct, especially debian/copyright and debian/changelog. Everything else ought to be ok already, or it would have failed nightly build

Determine the svn revision that corresponds to the release and put this with the version in debian/changelog

If a tag was made, this is easy, e.g. for apertium 3.4.2:

• svn log -q -l1 https://svn.code.sf.net/p/apertium/svn/tags/apertium/release-3.4.2/ yields r68453

Otherwise, look through to see what revision corresponds with the release:

• svn log https://svn.code.sf.net/p/apertium/svn/trunk/apertium/ | less

For the found revision, make sure the version in configure.ac (or similar) is correct:

• svn cat -r68453 https://svn.code.sf.net/p/apertium/svn/trunk/apertium/configure.ac | less

Update debian/changelog with the found version and revision and sign+stamp it, e.g.:

apertium (3.4.2~r68453-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream release.

Optionally, ensure exclude.txt has patterns of all files you don't want in the source tarball. For languages and pairs, this is usually all folders:

• */

Commit control files

Make and Sign Tarball

Generate the signed Debian source package, from the revision above. The argument to -e must match the GnuPG key you're signing with:

• ./single-dpkg.pl trunk/apertium/ --auto 0 -m 'Debian Science Team <debian-science-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org>' -e 'Your Name <your@email.com>' --rev 68453

Import to Debian

Import it to the Debian git repo.

Clone or pull:

gbp clone ssh://your-alioth-login@git.debian.org/srv/git.debian.org/git/debian-science/packages/apertium.git
cd apertium

Or, if you have it cloned already:

cd apertium
gbp pull
git pull --all

Import, push new branch data, push new upstream tag:

gbp import-dsc --pristine-tar /tmp/autopkg.*/*.dsc
git push --all
git push origin upstream/3.4.2_r68453
