debian packages

[Pedro Larroy]

Hi

are debian packages up to date? I tried installing disco-master and seems my patch "https://github.com/larroy/disco/commit/4f04e14a24e42da2abddaeaab5090f534f1f5e9b" is not on the public packages.

Regards.

Hi Pedro,

No, they haven't been updated yet. It should happen soon, though.

Hi Jared,

Could you send an e-mail to the mailing when the new Debian packages
have been prepared?

Thanks,
Jens

Hi Jens,

I think they should be there now (thanks to Prashanth). There have been some changes to the Debian packages though (to conform better with Debian policy and ease the package building), so you might want to be careful when upgrading an existing cluster. We have done non-exhaustive testing of this in our cluster, and it shouldn't be an issue, but please heed the general warning about the Debian packages in the docs.

The good news is there is an undocumented target in the Makefile now which will build the Debian packages for you if you want to customize them. If you know what you are doing, you can try something like:

make debian prefix=/usr [RELSRV=/srv/disco]

The prefix=/usr is necessary, RELSRV is not (drop the brackets). Setting RELSRV to /srv/disco will give you the old behavior of putting data under /srv/disco, but this is slightly against Debian policy, so I would actually recommend to drop it if you are not upgrading an old cluster. The packages on discoproject.org should be using the old RELSRV=/srv/disco, but probably we will drop it in the 0.5 release, in which we will try to put all potential backwards-compatibility breaking changes.

Good luck, let us know how it goes!
