Build mscp as deb package

make build-deb produces a mscp deb package and related files. This target builds mscp with debuild inside a docker container (Dockerfile is docker/build-deb.Docerfile).

mkdir build && cd build && cmake ..
make build-deb

After that:

$ ls debbuild
mscp_0.1.4.dsc		 mscp_0.1.4_source.buildinfo  mscp_0.1.4.tar.xz
mscp_0.1.4_source.build  mscp_0.1.4_source.changes

To publush mscp in launchpad PPA:

1. write changes in debian/changelog at main branch (the date command needed here is date -R)
2. switch to ppa-focal or ppa-jammy branch
3. rebase to the main branch and modify debian/changes:
   • change mscp (X.X.X) UNRELEASED; to mscp (X.X.X-1~RELEASENAME) RELEASENAME; where RELEASENAME is focal or jammy.
4. run make build-deb at the build directory and cd debbuild
5. sign the files with debsign -k [GPGKEYID] mscp_X.X.X~X_source.changes
6. upload the files with dput ppa:upaa/mscp mscp_X.X.X~X_source.changes

Build mscp as (source) rpm package

make build-srpm produces a mscp src.rpm package. This target builts mscp with rpmbuild inside a docker container (Dockerfile is docker/build-srpm.Dockerfile, generated from build-srpm.Dockerfile.in by cmake).

mkdir build && cd build && cmake ..
make build-srpm

After that:

$ ls *.rpm
mscp-0.1.3-1.el9.src.rpm

To publish mscp in COPR:

1. update rpm/mscp.spec.in, the changelog section (the date command needed here is date "+%a %b %d %Y")
2. run make build-srpm
3. download mscp-X.X.X-1.yyy.src.rpm
4. upload the src.rpm to Build page at COPR.

Update Document

The docuemnt is doc/mscp.rst (at present). When mscp.1.in is modified, run make update-rst to make it up to date.

mkdir build cd build && cmake ..
make update-rst
