Manual package builds in a Docker container

The files in this directory also allow to manually build a package in a docker container.

1. Build image

docker build --build-arg DIST=jammy --build-arg PLATFORM=amd64 -t sillsdev/jammy .

jammy and amd64 are the Ubuntu version and platform for which to build the package.

2. Build binary package

Change into the directory which contains the source package, then run:

docker run -v $(pwd):/source -i -t -w /source --platform=linux/amd64 \
    sillsdev/jammy ibus_1.5.26-4sil1.1~jammy.dsc /source

ibus_1.5.26-4sil1.1~jammy.dsc is the name of the source package. The resulting .deb files will be in $(pwd)/artifacts.
