FreeSWITCH for Debian -------------- You may be reading this because you're wondering where all the files are in debian/, such as control. Because FreeSWITCH has so many modules it was necessary to create a system to autogenerate the majority of the packaging. This in done mostly in the file debian/bootstrap.sh. This bootstrap needs to run before any other step of the packaging, though we do try to autogenerate it when possible. The build dependencies, runtime dependencies, and other details about modules can be configured in the debian/control-modules file. Even though this file looks a bit like a debian control file and has a similar format, we are parsing this file ourselves so the format is a bit more restricted. debian/control-modules currently supports the following fields: # lines that begin with the hash character are comments # # every block must start with a Module field Module: / Description: # empty lines with "."s are not yet supported Build-Depends: Depends: Recommends: Suggests: Distro-Conflicts: # not yet implemented During bootstrap we build a file control-modules.gen. If the control-modules file is properly formatted, this generated file should be identical. This is a sanity check mechanism for our parsing, as well as a way to automatically reorganize the file. If the file debian/modules.conf is present, we read that file and only build and package the files listed there. Otherwise, we build every module except the ones that either should not be packaged, or for which we don't yet have good packaging. The format of debian/modules.conf is: ## comments should start with two hash characters / To build this package, I recommend running the following from the root directory of your FS git working tree: mkdir ../sounds export FS_SOUNDS_DIR=$(pwd)/../sounds git clean -fdx && git reset --hard HEAD (cd debian && ./bootstrap.sh) schedtool -B -e git-buildpackage --git-verbose -us -uc -- Travis Cross , Sat, 5 May 2012 23:32:53 +0000
