Packaging

This directory contains docker images used for creating packages for different distribution.

How to use this docker files?

Start with:

docker build -f docker/packaging/Dockerfile.ubuntu-bionic .

after building the image please copy dpkg package from inside:

docker cp $(docker ps -q -a | head -n1):/nu_0.2.0-1_amd64.deb .

What should be done

• We should run sbuild command to create chroot and then install dpkg. For two reasons. First: we want to use the same tools as Ubuntu package builders to handle the cornercases. Second: we want to test dpkg requirements.
• File debian/changelog file should be generated based on git history.
• Building package and nu version should be parametrized.
