For version 4.0 and newer

Gramps 4 moves to setuptool/distutils installer.

Dependency

  • 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 (see the customizing section, below). 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

Build

  • command line (quick)
python setup.py --command-packages=stdeb.command bdist_deb

For testing only: you can get this experimental 'python-gramps' package under UNSTABLE section.

WARNING

  • The launcher under /usr/bin/gramps is using the same path for current stable release and this testing version.
  • You need at least version 3.3.2 of python-gobject for Gramps 4.0.
  • You cannot use greater version than 2.28 of python-gobject for Gramps 3.4.x.
  • distutils

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.
