anto / eudev-deb Goto Github PK

• This repository is a fork of the debian directory on Jaret Cantu/eudev up to commit e84abdcd
• This repository contains the scripts to build eudev deb package
• The source of eudev package is located on https://github.com/gentoo/eudev
• This repository will be maintained as close as possible to the eudev source
• Release tags will also be added to follow the release tags on eudev source
• It is assumed that the users are familiar with Debian package building process

• Requirements

• Build packages must be installed (Please see Programs needed for development)
• Packages required by eudev package must be installed (Please refer to the control file for the dependencies)

• Example of the steps to build eudev package from the master branch source

  $ git clone -b master --single-branch https://github.com/gentoo/eudev.git eudev-3.0 
  $ rm -rf eudev-3.0/.travis.yml eudev-3.0/.gitignore eudev-3.0/.git
  $ tar cJf eudev_3.0.orig.tar.xz eudev-3.0/*
  $ cd eudev-3.0
  $ git clone -b master --single-branch https://git.devuan.org/anto/eudev-deb.git debian
  $ dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc
  

*** WARNING ***
These steps may break your installation so you must know how to recover it if that would happen
*** WARNING ***

• On Devuan/Debian jessie installs

• The installation of eudev packages should be quite straight forward

   Example of eudev packages installation on amd64 desktop install
  
   ```
   # dpkg --install gir1.2-gudev-1.0_3.0-1_amd64.deb libgudev-1.0-0_3.0-1_amd64.deb libgudev-1.0-dev_3.0-1_amd64.deb libudev1_3.0-1_amd64.deb libudev-dev_3.0-1_amd64.deb udev_3.0-1_amd64.deb
   ```
  

• On Debian wheezy installs

• It is more complicated due to a lot of packages depend on libudev0 but eudev provides libudev1

• A lot of packages must be upgraded to satisfy eudev packages requirements

   Please refer the [control](https://git.devuan.org/anto/gentoo-eudev/blob/master/control) file for the required packages for eudev package
  

• In order to avoid any possible issues, libudev0 can be removed but some packages must be upgraded for that

   On some Debian wheezy installs, a part from all packages required by eudev package, mainly the following packages need to be upgraded so that libudev0 can be removed:
    + dmsetup from version 2:1.02.74-8 to >= 2:1.02.90-2.2
    + libdevmapper1.02.1 from version 2:1.02.74-8 to >= 2:1.02.90-2.2
  
     The detail packages that need to be upgraded prior to removing libudev0 can be obtained as below
     
     ```
   # apt-cache rdepends --installed libudev0
     ```
