For version 4.0 and newer
Gramps 4 moves to setuptool/distutils installer.
Dependency
- debian stuff
sudo apt-get install devscripts dpkg-dev fakeroot debhelper libgconf2-dev
- stdeb, which produces Debian source packages from Python packages via a new distutils command, sdist_dsc. Automatic defaults are provided for the Debian package, but many aspects of the resulting package can be customized. An additional command, bdist_deb, creates a Debian binary package, a .deb file. The debianize command builds a debian/ directory directly alongside your setup.py.
sudo apt-get install python-stdeb python-all # or python3-all
Build
For testing only: you can get this experimental 'python-gramps' package under UNSTABLE section.
There is a problem with usr/share/pyshared/gramps/gen/utils/resource-path file, need to use an environment variable: GRAMPS_RESOURCES.
$ GRAMPS_RESOURCES=/usr/share gramps
or you need to customize setup.py before building your package! eg,
resource_file = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), 'gramps', 'gen',
'utils', 'resource-path')
with io.open(resource_file, 'w', encoding='utf-8',
errors='strict') as fp:
- path = os.path.abspath(os.path.join(self.install_data, 'share'))
+ path = os.path.join('/usr', 'share')
- WARNING
- The launcher under /usr/bin/gramps is using the same path for current stable release and this testing version. Backup your launcher if you want to install both versions. Translations might be also overwritten, you have been warned...
- You need at least version 3.3.2 of python-gobject for Gramps 4.0.x.
- You cannot use greater version than 2.28 of python-gobject for Gramps 3.4.x.
via a quick command line
python setup.py --command-packages=stdeb.command bdist_deb
- Custom tarball
python setup.py --command-packages=stdeb.command sdist_dsc
or
python setup.py --command-packages=stdeb.command sdist_dsc --depends "python-gobject (>= 3.3.2)"
via customized options
These options are set into /debian folder.

Sample for creating a debian harmattan (MeeGo 1.2) binary package:

from distutils.core import Command
__all__ = ['bdist_hdeb']
class bdist_hdeb(Command):

# execute system command and read output (execute and read output of find cmd)
dsc_tree = 'deb_dist'

for entry in os.listdir(dsc_tree):
fulldir = os.path.join(dsc_tree,entry)
if os.path.isdir(fulldir):

raise ValueError('more than one directory in deb_dist. '
'Unsure which is source directory')
else:

# inject custom logic to dh_builddeb (build digsigsums before and add aegis manifest after)
DEBNAME = self.distribution.get_name()+'_'+self.distribution.get_version()+'*_all.deb'
rules = open(target_dir+'/debian/rules', 'a')
rules.write('override_dh_builddeb:\n\tpython ../../digsigsums.py '+self.distribution.get_name()+\

rules.write('\n\tar q ../'+DEBNAME+' _aegis')
rules.write('\n\n')
rules.close()
# make aegis manifest avaiable to debian/rules
# MeeGo 1.2
if self.aegis_manifest is not None:
copy(self.aegis_manifest, target_dir+'/_aegis')
# define system command to execute (gen .deb binary pkg)

For version 3.4 and before
Instructions on creating the Debian .deb package for Ubuntu:
- Ensure you have a working build environment
- For Ubuntu 7.04 or 7.10, install these tools:
sudo apt-get install devscripts dpkg-dev fakeroot debhelper libgconf2-dev
- For Ubuntu 8.04, install these tools:
sudo apt-get install devscripts dpkg-dev fakeroot debhelper libgconf2-dev python-xml
- For Ubuntu 12.04 install these tools:
sudo apt-get install devscripts dpkg-dev fakeroot debhelper libgconf2-dev
- Check out the necessary version; for example, to build the .deb file for GRAMPS version 3.4.3, you'll want to run:
mkdir ~/gramps cd ~/gramps svn co https://svn.code.sf.net/p/gramps/code/tags/gramps-3.4.3/
- Confirm that sudo apt-get install devscripts dpkg-dev fakeroot debhelper libgconf2-dev, everything builds:
./autogen.sh make
- Create the Changelog files:
svn2cl --reparagraph --include-rev --authors=src/data/authors.xml cd po svn2cl --reparagraph --include-rev --authors=../src/data/authors.xml cd ..
- Create the .deb package:
cd debian export DEBEMAIL='[email protected]' export DEBFULLNAME='Stephane Charette' cd .. dch -v 3.4.3-3 "New upstream release, include two patches" dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
- Remember to modify DEBEMAIL and DEBFULLNAME to reflect your e-mail and name.
- Release the .deb files:
cd .. ls *.deb
- Note the gramps_3.4.3-3_all.deb file, which needs to be uploaded to ftp://upload.sourceforge.net/incoming/.
- The details on how things are going to be packaged into deb files, what are the dependencies, the pre- and post- install and removal scripts etc are under debian/ directory. Please refer to the Debian New Maintainers' Guide for further details.
