How to package nautilus-dropbox

This is a work-in-progress guide on how to build Ubuntu, Debian, and Fedora packages for nautilus-dropbox. It assumes you're building from a 16.04 Ubuntu machine.

  1. Obtain the signing key. Add it to your keyring using gpg --import /path/to/key.

  2. Install the build dependencies.

This is a non-exhaustive list of what you'll need:

sudo apt-get install pbuilder debootstrap devscripts libnautilus-extension-dev mock rpm expect createrepo cdbs gnome-common debian-archive-keyring python3-docutils

  1. Copy .pbuilderrc to ~/.pbuilderrc

  2. Create chroots for each of the Debian or Ubuntu builds you'll be doing.

sudo DIST=trusty ARCH=i386 pbuilder create --debootstrapopts --variant=buildd
sudo DIST=trusty ARCH=amd64 pbuilder create --debootstrapopts --variant=buildd
sudo DIST=jessie ARCH=i386 pbuilder create --debootstrapopts --variant=buildd
sudo DIST=jessie ARCH=amd64 pbuilder create --debootstrapopts --variant=buildd

  1. Add yourself to the mock group (create it if it doesn't exist), and then logout and login for the group to take affect. Probably you have to run build_packages.py command with sudo permission which means you should add your root account to the mock group. Otherwise, you will see The password you typed is invalid. error.

  2. Copy rpm_resources/fedora-*.cfg to /etc/mock.

    If you need to add new configs when we start targetting a new Fedora version, you can find all the configs here: https://github.com/rpm-software-management/mock

  3. Copy rpm_resources/.rpmmacros to ~/.rpmmacros

  4. Build all the packages with: python3 build_packages.py

If the build is successful, a tar of the output will be in: /tmp/nautilus-dropbox-release.tar.gz

  1. Update the ChangeLog with all the changes in the release.

  2. Tag the release and push the tag to GitHub.
