ospkg

A rebar plugin

Build

$ rebar3 compile

Use

Add the plugin to your rebar.config:

{plugins, [
    {rebar3_ospkg, {git, "http://github.com/regikul/rebar3_ospkg", {tag, "v0.1.2"}}}
]}.

Then just call your plugin directly in an existing application:

$ rebar3 do release, ospkg -n $PACKAGE_VERSION -t $PACKAGE_TYPE
===> Fetching ospkg
===> Compiling ospkg
<Plugin Output>

Currently supports only deb packages. Generate files with names like $RELEASENAME_$RELEASEVER-$PACKAGEVER.deb in directory of the current release.

Example config

{ospkg, [
  {install_dir, "/opt"},
  {deb, [
    {files_dir, {app_with_conf, "priv/debian"}},

    %% DEBIAN/control
    {provides, "packagename"},
    {maintainer, "Ivan Petrov <some@email.somewhere>"},
    {architecture, "all"},
    {section, "net"},
    {description, "Here goes description for your package"},
    {depends, "package0, package1 (>= 1.2)"},
    {'pre-depends', "package3, package4"},
    {conflicts, ""},
    {replaces, ""},
    {recommends, ""},
    {suggests, ""}
  ]}
]}.

Only DEBIAN/control and DEBIAN/md5sums are generated by the plugin. All other deb-related files must be in location poined by files_dir.

Known issues

Currently plugin can not be called alone, due to relx eating all command line args. You can generate packages like that:

$ rebar3 do release, ospkg -n $PACKAGE_VERSION -t $PACKAGE_TYPE
