Uploading Package to PPA

Contents

  1. Docker build, cloning the MariaDB repository and mapping it to the docker container
  2. Generate, publish and upload PGP key
  3. From inside the container
  4. For re-running the set up container

After creating a Launchpad account:

Docker build, cloning the MariaDB repository and mapping it to the docker container

1. mkdir mariadb-source

2. cd mariadb-source

3. vi Dockerfile

4. Copy the following contents to Dockerfile:

# MariaDB 10.3 Ubuntu 17.10 build environment
# Published as mariadb-10-3-ubuntu-17.10-build-env
FROM ubuntu:17.10
RUN DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get update && \
apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends \
systemd \
devscripts \
build-essential \
lsb-release \
equivs \
git \
curl \
git-buildpackage \
nano \
vim \
pristine-tar

RUN curl -skO https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ottok/mariadb-10.1/ubuntu-17.10/debian/control

ENV GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY true

RUN mk-build-deps -t 'apt-get -y -o Debug::pkgProblemResolver=yes --no-install-recommends' -i control

ENV container docker
ENV DEBIAN_FRONTEND noninteractive
ENV LANG C.UTF-8
ENV LC_ALL C.UTF-8

5. Run docker build . -t ubuntu-17.10-packaging

6. Do git clone of the latest repository:

cd && mkdir debian-packaging && cd debian-packaging && git clone https://salsa.debian.org/mariadb-team/mariadb-10.1.git

Generate, publish and upload PGP key

7. Generate OpenPGP key with the following command:

$ gpg --gen-key

  • select (1) RSA and RSA
  • Keysize: accept 2048
  • Valid for: accept 0
  • Type name, email and comment (comment is optional)
  • Type 0
  • Type passphrase (twice)
  • Follow instructions to help generate a random key
  • Keep the Key ID and fingerprint text, they are needed in the next step

Set generated key as default in ~/.bashrc

$ nano ~/.bashrc

[.. add this ..]

export GPGKEY=<key_id>

Restart GPG-agent and source '/.bashrc', or restart session

8. Publish the key to the key server:

gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --send-keys 12345678 and substitute 12345678 with your key's id

  • If this gives timeout error, keep re-trying after a while

9. Upload the key's fingerprint here: Upload https://help.launchpad.net/YourAccount/ImportingYourPGPKey fingerprint here https://launchpad.net/~rsurve/+editpgpkeys

10. gpg --export [your-key-id] > ~/debian-packaging/pub.key

11. gpg --export-secret-key [your-key-id] > ~/debian-packaging/secret.key

gpg -k

^Should show the key

12. How to upload: https://github.com/exelearning/iteexe/wiki/How-to-upload-to-Launchpad-PPA-repository-(.deb-packages)

13. Open /etc/devscripts.conf

And look for this line:

DEBSIGN_MAINT

Uncomment it and add your name there

export DEBEMAIL=[your-email-id]

From inside the container

14. docker run -v ~/debian-packaging/:/repo -it ubuntu-17.10-packaging bash

15. apt-get install devscripts

16. gpg --import pub.key

17. gpg --import secret.key

18. gpg -k

19. cd /repo/mariadb-10.1 && git fetch && git checkout pristine-tar && git checkout ubuntu-17.10

20. git clean -dffx && git reset --hard HEAD

21. export DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS="parallel=10 nocheck" or export DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS="parallel=5 nocheck"

22. Go to /repo folder (Inside docker) and delete all the files except mariadb-10.1 folder:

rm *

23. gbp buildpackage

For re-running the set up container

24. To generate an ID, run: docker commit <container-id> This will generate an ID.

For restarting the same container again use this ID: docker run -v ~/debian-packaging/:/repo -it <ID> bash

25. Last command for uploading package to PPA:

backportpackage -u <your-ppa-address> -d <ubuntu-version-to-backport-to> -S ~<a-version-suffix-name-for-this-package> <the-most-recent-dsc-file>

Example:

backportpackage -u ppa:cvicentiu/mariadb-10.0-dev2 -d bionic -S ~testtry mariadb-10.1_10.1.30-0ubuntu0.17.10.1.dsc

Run this command in the /repo folder, where the .dsc file is located It should ask for the gpg key password again
