SOCI packaging configurations

Debian

Just copy the debian/ directory to your soci directory and run dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot

debian/control is generated from debian/control.in manually, by calling DEB_AUTO_UPDATE_DEBIAN_CONTROL=yes fakeroot debian/rules clean.

Packages, required for build:

• patchutils
• cdbs
• debhelper
• dh-buildinfo
• devscripts
• cmake
• libboost-dev
• libmysql15-dev
• libpq-dev
• libsqlite3-dev
• unixodbc-dev

Fedora/CentOS/RedHat

The RPM specification file is reproduced here, in the fedora/ directory, for convenient reason. However, the master is hosted by Fedora: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/soci.git/tree/soci.spec

If you want to build the package on Fedora/CentOS/RedHat:

sudo yum -y install fedora-packager
sudo yum -y groupinstall development
rpmdev-setuptree

Change the %packager variable in the ~/.rpmmacros configuration file.

SOCI_VER=3.2.0
cd ~/rpmbuild/SPECS
wget http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/soci.git/tree/soci.spec
pushd ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/soci/soci-${SOCI_VER}.zip
popd
rpmbuild -bs soci.spec
rpmbuild -ba soci.spec

Note

On CentOS, you have to enable the EPEL repository, with something like:

rpm --import http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL-6
rpm -Uvh http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm

See the Fedora Wiki for more details.

soci-pkg's Issues

Better integration of debian/* into soci repository

Of course without cluttering it. In other words submodules?

Had a look at sparse checkout of git >1.7 and it might work with submodules. Problem is, that it is not exactly straight forward and I dont know to what extent it might touch the upstream repository.

Another solution would be to split debian/* into a own repository and cleanly include it as a submodule to soci. Other than a placeholder directory within the upstream, there would be no clutter, with the additional benefit of fixating the version of soci-debian (hypothetocal naming), required by the specific version of soci upstream.

If there is no aversion to using submodules in soci upstream, the next and more difficult question would be how fedora and other distros does things (unfortunately currently out of my scope of knowledge and time)

Please note that there is an official Debian package in the Debian's archive

https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/soci

Maybe you want to update the README accordingly and/or synchronize with that.

(Also your debian directory as merge-conflics commited, eg. look at
https://github.com/SOCI/soci-pkg/blob/master/debian/libsoci-mysql.install

Cleanup Lintian Warnings and Errors

Currently lintian has a lot to say about things done wrong in debian packaging.

Set up Travis CI for soci-pkg

This is a good idea suggested by @kzeslaf in #1

Maybe you could also configure building debian packages by Travis CI after
changes to soci and soci-pkg repos. I don't know unfortunately how to do this nicely.
Maybe git submodules will do?

I'll try to learn how to configure it.

If anyone knows how to achieve it, please, share the magic.

Moving debian/ to top level

Hi,

anything speaking against it?. I would have the necessary merge request for you.

Blockers:

• Move LICENSE_1_0.txt from src/ to repository root. Otherwise I got the changes running without changing anything outside the debian/*.

Debian packaging broken / building debian packages on Travis CI

Hi,

it seems that current version of Debian packaging is broken. It seems that last changes on file https://github.com/SOCI/soci/blob/master/src/CMakeLists.txt made impossible to apply this patch: https://github.com/SOCI/soci-pkg/blob/master/debian/patches/library_target.

I think that functionality of this patch should be applied directly to this CMakeLists file because current solution is not resistant on changes of this file.

Maybe you could also configure building debian packages by Travis CI after changes to soci and soci-pkg repos.

I don't know unfortunately how to do this nicely. Maybe git submodules will do?

P.S.
I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit. Deleting patch directory was enough to build, install and run example using soci correctly.

Add Arch Linux package

Add PKGBUILD for soci-git and upcoming soci-3.2.0 packages and submit to AUR.

Debian multiarch package schema support

Hi,

anything speaking against this? would have a merge request for you if you want it.

It would:

• Make use of the non invasive -DLIBDIR=/usr/lib/$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH) approach depicted in #1 by @juliantaylor
