Building a Debian package
The preferred way to deploy code on infra.rzl (where this bot traditionally runs on) is by installing a Debian package. This has many advantages:
-
When we need to re-install for some reason, the package has the correct dependencies, so installation is easy.
-
If Debian ships a new version of perl, the script will survive that easily.
-
A simple
dpkg -l | grep -i raumzeitis enough to find all RaumZeitLabor-related packages and their version. The precise location of initscripts, configuration and source code can be displayed bydpkg -L raumzeitchef-ircbot.
To create a Debian package, ensure you have dpkg-dev installed, then run
as root to ensure the Modules are installed globally:
sudo dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us
Now you have a package called raumzeitchef-ircbot_$VERSION_all.deb which you can
deploy on infra.rzl.
Updating the Debian packaging
If you introduce new dependencies, bump the version or change the description, you have to update the Debian packaging. First, install the packaging tools we are going to use:
apt-get install dh-make-perl
Then, run the following commands:
perl Makefile.PL make manifest export DEBFULLNAME='Your Name' DEBEMAIL='your@full.name' dh-make-perl refresh debchange --nmu
Inspect the changes to debian/ and commit them.
