# SUMMARY
|
||||
|
||||
This guide describes the steps for packaging **Manuskript** for Linux
|
||||
using `dpkg`. The resulting `.deb` package runs on both 32-bit and
|
||||
64-bit Debian based GNU/Linux distributions.
|
||||
|
||||
# CONSIDERATIONS
|
||||
|
||||
This document is heavily based on the steps found in this
|
||||
[stackoverflow.com answer](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7110604/standard-way-to-create-debian-packages-for-distributing-python-programs/26077181#26077181).
|
||||
A huge thank you to
|
||||
[Rafael Senties Martinelli](https://stackoverflow.com/users/3672754/rafael-senties-martinelli)
|
||||
for posting this simplified method of building a `.deb` package.
|
||||
|
||||
Originally I tried Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr as the base distro to
|
||||
build the `.deb` file. Unfortunately when this `.deb` file was
|
||||
installed on same distro it failed to run. Hence I am now using
|
||||
Debian 8 Jessie.
|
||||
|
||||
# PREPARATION
|
||||
|
||||
Install tools needed to build package.
|
||||
|
||||
sudo update
|
||||
sudo apt install dpkg wget
|
||||
|
||||
# CREATE PACKAGE STRUCTURE
|
||||
|
||||
These are the basics for creating a Debian package for manuskript with
|
||||
`dpkg -b <folder>`.
|
||||
|
||||
Note that I have modified these steps to be specific to manuskript.
|
||||
|
||||
In all of the steps replace the following variables with values:
|
||||
|
||||
AppName manuskript
|
||||
AppVersion 0.5.0
|
||||
PkgNumber 1
|
||||
PkgVersion 0.5.0-1
|
||||
PkgSizeInKb # find with: du -sk manuskript-0.5.0-1
|
||||
|
||||
1. Create the files and folders in order to recreate the following structure:
|
||||
|
||||
{PkgVersion}/
|
||||
{PkgVersion}/DEBIAN
|
||||
{PkgVersion}/DEBIAN/control
|
||||
{PkgVersion}/usr/
|
||||
{PkgVersion}/usr/bin/
|
||||
{PkgVersion}/usr/bin/{AppName} # Invocation script
|
||||
{PkgVersion}/usr/share/
|
||||
{PkgVersion}/usr/share/applications
|
||||
{PkgVersion}/usr/share/applications/{AppName}.desktop
|
||||
{PkgVersion}/usr/share/{AppName}
|
||||
{PkgVersion}/usr/share/{AppName}/{AppName-files} # Python code
|
||||
|
||||
Now the code to do this:
|
||||
|
||||
mkdir dist
|
||||
cd dist
|
||||
mkdir -p manuskript-0.5.0-1/DEBIAN
|
||||
mkdir -p manuskript-0.5.0-1/usr/bin
|
||||
mkdir -p manuskript-0.5.0-1/usr/share/applications
|
||||
|
||||
2. Add the python source code
|
||||
|
||||
pushd manuskript-0.5.0-1/usr/share
|
||||
wget https://github.com/olivierkes/manuskript/archive/0.5.0.tar.gz
|
||||
tar -xvf 0.5.0.tar.gz
|
||||
rm 0.5.0.tar.gz
|
||||
mv manuskript-0.5.0 manuskript
|
||||
popd
|
||||
|
||||
3. Add the invocation script
|
||||
|
||||
Create `manuskript-0.5.0-1/usr/bin/manuskript` invocation file
|
||||
with contents:
|
||||
|
||||
*----- begin manuskript -----*
|
||||
|
||||
#!/usr/bin/env python3
|
||||
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
|
||||
#
|
||||
# manuskript - invocation python script

||||

|
||||
|
||||
import os
|
||||
import sys
|
||||
|
||||
sys.path.insert(1, '/usr/share/manuskript/')
|
||||
|
||||
from manuskript import main
|
||||
|
||||
main.run()
|
||||
|
||||
*----- end manuskript -----*
|
||||
|
||||
4. Make the invocation script permissions executable.
|
||||
|
||||
chmod 0755 manuskript-0.5.0-1/usr/bin/manuskript
|
||||
|
||||
5. Make the desktop graphic icon launch file.
|
||||
|
||||
Create
|
||||
`manuskript-0.5.0-1/usr/share/applications/manuskript.desktop`
|
||||
file with contents:
|
||||
|
||||
*----- begin manuskript.desktop -----*
|
||||
|
||||
[Desktop Entry]
|
||||
Name=Manuskript
|
||||
Comment=An open source tool for writers
|
||||
Keywords=manuskript;office;write;edit;novel;text;msk
|
||||
Exec=/usr/bin/manuskript
|
||||
Terminal=false
|
||||
Type=Application
|
||||
Icon=/usr/share/manuskript/icons/Manuskript/icon-512px.png
|
||||
Categories=Office;WordProcessor;
|
||||
|
||||
*----- end manuskript.desktop -----*
|
||||
|
||||
**After 0.5.0 release start using
|
||||
`/usr/share/manuskript/icons/Manuskript/manuskript.svg`**
|
||||
|
||||
6. Make the DEBIAN control file.
|
||||
|
||||
Fields taken from
|
||||
[deb-control man page](http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man5/deb-control.5.html).
|
||||
|
||||
Create `manuskript-0.5.0-1/DEBIAN/control` file with contents:
|
||||
|
||||
*----- begin control -----*
|
||||
|
||||
Package: manuskript
|
||||
Version: 0.5.0-1

Description: Manuskript open source tool for writers.
|
||||
Manuskript is an open source tool for writers. It
|
||||
provides a rich environment to help writers create
|
||||
their first draft and then further refine and edit
|
||||
their masterpiece.

|

**Remember to fill in `{PkgSizeInKb}`!**
|
||||
Use command: `du -sk manuskript-0.5.0-1`
|
||||
|
||||
*NOTE: Build on Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr would fail to run when
|
||||
the `.deb` package was installed. Now using Debian 8 Jessie.*
|
||||
|
||||
7. Change all the folders and files ownership to root.
|
||||
|
||||
sudo chown root:root -R manuskript-0.5.0-1
|
||||
|
||||
8. Create the `.deb` package.
|
||||
|
||||
dpkg -b manuskript-0.5.0-1
|
||||
|
||||
This should create a `manuskript-0.5.0-1.deb` file.
|
||||
|
||||
# PACKAGE INSTALL TEST
|
||||
|
||||
Install `.deb` package with:
|
||||
|
||||
sudo apt update # Ensure repository is up-to-date
|
||||
sudo dpkg -i manuskript-0.5.0-1.deb # Install package without dependencies
|
||||
sudo apt install -f # Install missing dependencies
|
||||
|
||||
And try running manuskript.
|
||||
|
||||
Other useful commands:
|
||||
|
||||
* List installed manuskript package with `dpkg -l | grep -i manuskript`
|
||||
* Remove manuskript package with `sudo apt purge manuskript` or `sudo
|
||||
dpkg --purge manuskript`
