Zewo APT builder

This repository contains scripts and debian packages for a proper zewo installation on a debian-enabled system like Ubuntu.

Building Debian Packages

To build debian packages all you need to do is to call the main target of the enclosed Makefile:

make

Even being unecessary, you can achieve the same result by using the all target:

make all

Cleaning up

If you want to clean up your build, there are two targets for that:

  • clean: will clean up the build directory, but will left the generated packages
  • purge: will clean up everything, returning your source tree to the initial state.

Examples:

make clean
make purge

Upgrading the build system

This build system was thought to be as simple as possible. by using Makefiles, it is possible to build it in virtually any system that have a GNU-make compatible version.

The build system contains the following:

  • include directory: contains include make files, each one created for a given dependency of Zewo's run-time.
  • Makefile: the central makefile, which coordinates everything.

If you need to upgrade any dependency version, you must edit one of the .mk files on include directory. All files looks the same. The only one that is not of interest is functions.mk. This file contains Make functions used by the central makefile and should not be edited. Edit it if you want to add a new function to be used no the build system.

If you just need to upgrade versions, all files declares a variable like _VERSION. All you have to do is to change the version tag in there. For instance, if you need to update BTLS version:

BTLS_VERSION=0.1.0

This is the variable you need to update. After updating it, just save the file, move to upper directory and build it.

After your upgrade

After your upgrade, you need to build everything. At the end of the build, commit everything and push to the remote repository. This step is necessary to upgrade the published debian packages available for download.

Adding Debian packages to your system

Follow this recipe:

echo "deb [trusted=yes] http://apt.zewo.io ./" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install zewo

This will update your apt package system with Zewo's sources. Also, it will download and install the binary packages on your system.
