Debian Packaging for pyCA

Using the Repository

You can install pyCA from the APT repository by executing the following steps:

# Install prerequisites
apt-get install apt-transport-https

# Include pyCA's Signing Key
apt-key adv --fetch https://pyca.deb.opencast.org/gpg.key

# Add the Repository
echo "deb [arch=all] https://pyca.deb.opencast.org/opencast-pyca buster main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/opencast-pyca.list

# Update your cache and install pyCA
apt-get update
apt-get install opencast-pyca

Build the package

To build this package you will need a machine (a Docker container should also be sufficient) with Debian Buster with build-essential and devscripts installed.

To create the package run the build.sh from within this directory. If you also want to install the build dependencies, you can run INSTALL_DEPENDENCIES=y ./build.sh, but you then need root privileges.

If you would like to look in the process in more details, take a look into the script or visit the Debian New Maintainers' Guide as a complete source about packaging for Debian.

Create a repository

There is also a small script in this repository to create a Debian Repository using aptly. It is mostly indented to be used with the CI, but if you want to use it manually, you will need to have a GPG to sign the repository with.
