About

This repository holds workflows and configurations for building OwnTone Debian packages and for updating the Raspberry Pi repository.

Leveraging the magic of Github Actions the workflows can:

• Create pbuilder images for various distributions and architechtures, and use these to build OwnTone Debian packages by getting the source, using the Debian config in owntone-server/debian and then invoking pdebuild to cross-compile.

• Update the repository with the new packages using reprepro.

Howto make a new version

1. Edit VER and COMMIT in pkginfo.
2. Trigger the create_dpkg.yml workflow, and select the targets you want to build for. When the workflow is complete, check that it has produced a dpkg artifact with the expected .deb files.
3. Trigger update_repo_rpi.yml. This will update the repository data, which is located in repo/rpi/out and repo/rpi/db. This will also sign the packages using the RPI_REPO_SECKEY GitHub secret.

Howto add a distribution or architechture

1. Add new distro/arch to create_dpkg.yml.
2. Edit repo/rpi/conf/distributions and repo/rpi/conf/incoming.
3. Commit and push changes.
