Overview
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
Tahoe-LAFS is provided as a ``.deb`` package in current Debian (>= wheezy)
|
|
and Ubuntu (>= lucid) releases. Before official packages were added, the Tahoe
|
|
source tree provided support for building unofficial packages for a variety
|
|
of popular Debian/Ubuntu versions. The project also ran buildbots to create
|
|
``.debs`` of current trunk for ease of testing.
|
|
|
|
As of version 1.9, the source tree no longer provides these tools. To
|
|
construct a ``.deb`` from current trunk, your best bet is to apply the current
|
|
Debian diff from the latest upstream package and invoke the ``debian/rules``
|
|
as usual. Debian's standard ``apt-get`` tool can be used to fetch the current
|
|
source package (including the Debian-specific diff): run
|
|
"``apt-get source tahoe-lafs``". That will fetch three files: the ``.dsc``
|
|
control file, the main Tahoe tarball, and the Debian-specific
|
|
``.debian.tar.gz`` file. Just unpack the ``.debian.tar.gz`` file inside
|
|
your Tahoe source tree, modify the version number in ``debian/changelog``,
|
|
then run "``fakeroot ./debian/rules binary``", and a new ``.deb`` will be
|
|
placed in the parent directory.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Dependency Packages
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
Tahoe depends upon a number of additional libraries. When building Tahoe from
|
|
source, any dependencies that are not already present in the environment will
|
|
be downloaded (via ``easy_install``) and stored in the ``support/lib``
|
|
directory.
|
|
|
|
The ``.deb`` packages, of course, rely solely upon other ``.deb`` packages.
|
|
For reference, here is a list of the debian package names that provide Tahoe's
|
|
dependencies as of the 1.9 release:
|
|
|
|
* python
|
|
* python-zfec
|
|
* python-pycryptopp
|
|
* python-foolscap
|
|
* python-openssl (needed by foolscap)
|
|
* python-twisted
|
|
* python-nevow
|
|
* python-mock
|
|
* python-simplejson
|
|
* python-setuptools
|
|
* python-support (for Debian-specific install-time tools)
|
|
|
|
When building your own Debian packages, a convenient way to get all these
|
|
dependencies installed is to first install the official "tahoe-lafs" package,
|
|
then uninstall it, leaving the dependencies behind. You may also find it
|
|
useful to run "``apt-get build-dep tahoe-lafs``" to make sure all the usual
|
|
build-essential tools are installed.
