Feature: Makefile and debian packaging for linux64

[JonasGroeger]

Hello!

I added a Makefile and a way to create a debian package out of this software. To create the debian package, run debuild in the project root. This will create a *.deb, like soundnodeapp_0.6.1-1_amd64.deb in the parent directory ...

To sign the build with your custom key, not the maintainers one (mine), you need to pass the parameter -k to debuild, like this:

debuild -k<YOUR_KEY_ID>

For example

debuild -k330D89B5

Pull request to 'master', since 'dev' didn't exist

@JonasGroeger this is awesome, I will test it on Ubuntu tonight 😸

[weblancaster]

@jakejarrett you are the man.. haha thanks for testing this I will trust your judgment on this and merge once you give green light

[jakejarrett]

It fails on the last step due to a missing secret key, I'm not sure if this is an error on my part (I'll be able to test more during the weekend)

Finished running lintian.
Now signing changes and any dsc files...
 signfile soundnodeapp_0.6.1-1.dsc 330D89B5
gpg: skipped "330D89B5": secret key not available
gpg: /tmp/debsign.sYylmpZK/soundnodeapp_0.6.1-1.dsc: clearsign failed: secret key not available
debsign: gpg error occurred!  Aborting....
debuild: fatal error at line 1293:
running debsign failed

[JonasGroeger]

@jakejarrett This is the signing part. The key 330D89B5 is mine, which you don't have the secret version of. You need to have your GPG key in the keyring and sign it using your key id, i.e.

debsign -k12341234

You can create a keypair (public, private) using

gpg --gen-key

and then following the steps. Using

gpg --list-keys <your-mail@example.com>

you can then get your key id.

[jakejarrett]

Ah @JonasGroeger got it! Awesome, build works perfectly just need a .desktop file for the app to be show in launchers 😸 but that be in a separate pr if necessary

[weblancaster]

So are we good to merge @jakejarrett ? anything we will need to add to README.md or documentation?

[jakejarrett]

This is all good, we should document the build process for building .deb package, but for now it should be fine to merge

[weblancaster]

@JonasGroeger can you document the build process for .deb package?

[weblancaster]

Thanks for testing this @jakejarrett

[weblancaster]

This is now released.

[JonasGroeger]

@weblancaster Done @ https://github.com/Soundnode/soundnode-app/wiki/Building-the-debian-package

[weblancaster]

Great thanks @JonasGroeger

[jakejarrett]

@JonasGroeger I was retesting this on ubuntu and it appears They're not building correctly on my end. Its installed to the right directory and such, but when i try to run it will just show the default nwjs page instead of Soundnode.

Lintian returns an error saying the sources are missing.

[JonasGroeger]

@jakejarrett Can you give me the output of the whole script? The lintian errors are usually normal and nothing big to worry about.

[jakejarrett]

Here's the full build log, its fairly long so i put it in a gist

[JonasGroeger]

Are you sure you posted the whole thing? I expected a signing process after lintian. Ah, I see. You didn't provide a key. Thats fine. If the run was successful, which is the case, you should have a .deb file in ...

To test the output, you can run make install. This will install soundnode into /tmp/opt/soundnodeapp/, as specified here.

There, you can see if all nessecary files are present. If they are, there is obviously something wrong with soundnode. The Makefile essentially does just cp.

[jakejarrett]

@JonasGroeger Comparing the source & installed, there's definitely a difference. The one in /opt/ is ~4MB smaller. I'll spend some time with it and see whats going on
