dpkg-buildpackage -b uses the host architecture for both naming
and packaging, ignoring dotnet's --runtime flag. The cross-build
for arm64 therefore produced postit_*_amd64.deb (with arm64 .so
inside, weird) instead of postit_*_arm64.deb. Worse, the
subsequent arm64 step then saw no arm64 .deb in /src/ and failed
with 'Missing .deb files'.
Pass -aarm64 (or -aamd64) to dpkg-buildpackage so it tags the
.deb with the right Debian architecture. Linux-arm64 dotnet
runtime publishes binaries for arm64 already; we just need the
.deb filename to match.
Caveat: this also tells dpkg-buildpackage that the build is
targeting arm64, which may cause it to look for arm64-specific
tooling. In practice for this packaging the only tool is
objcopy/strip (both disabled for the cross-build) and dpkg-shlibdeps
(which we already enable with multi-arch libc:arm64 etc.).
dpkg-buildpackage -b writes the produced .deb to the parent of
the source directory (/src/_src/.. = /src/, which is
by default). The 'mv ../postit_*.deb $POSTIT_OUT_DIR/' step was
therefore trying to move a file onto itself — every build
exited with 'mv: ... are the same file' and make exited 1.
The earlier 'rm -f ../postit_*.deb' cleanup never had anything
to remove (dpkg-deb hadn't run yet), and even if it had, the
build step would have produced a new .deb at the same path
before the mv had a chance to act.
Drop the mv entirely. Just verify the .deb is there after
dpkg-buildpackage; fail loudly if not.
The 'mv' step after dpkg-buildpackage was failing with
`mv: '../postit_1.0.6-1_amd64.deb' and '/src/_src/../postit_1.0.6-1_amd64.deb' are the same file`
because the amd64 .deb from previous CI runs (or from a partial
arm64 build that copied the leftover amd64 .deb) was still in
the source directory.
Remove any postit_*<TAG>-1*.deb, *.buildinfo, and *.changes files
before invoking dpkg-buildpackage. The fresh build then writes
to ../ without colliding with stale output.
The previous commit put an 'if ... then ... fi' block across
multiple physical lines in the Makefile recipe. make runs each
recipe line in its own shell, so the 'fi' never matched its
'if', and the parser (dash on Debian) reported
`Syntax error: end of file unexpected (expecting "fi")`.
Collapse the if/then/fi into a single line joined with ';',
joined to the surrounding lines with '\\' continuation so make
treats them as one shell command.
The previous 'mv ... || mv ... || true' chain silently masked
real build failures: when dpkg-buildpackage for arm64 aborted,
the fallback 'mv ../postit_*.deb' matched the previous run's
leftover amd64 .deb (same filename prefix 'postit_*-1') and
returned 0. The CI step exited cleanly with no arm64 .deb.
Replace the silent fallback with an explicit check that errors
out if no .deb was produced. Two-stage pattern (specific version
first, any .deb second) keeps the same matching flexibility for
both stable and pre-release tags, but the absence of a .deb now
fails the build step.
- Makefile + debian/rules: POSTIT_GIT_TAG default 1.0.0 → 1.0.6.
- CHANGELOG.md: document the 1.0.6 release (workflow rollout).
- .github/workflows/build-and-release-deb.yml: GitHub Actions workflow
that builds postit_*.deb (matrix amd64+arm64 via cross-RID .NET on
amd64 runners) from a tag pushed to this repo, validates the tag
(semver, patch-parity channel, CHANGELOG section), and publishes a
GitHub Release with both .deb as assets. Refuses to re-tag an
existing release by default (re-tag = le mal); opt-in via
workflow_dispatch + force_republish=true.
Pattern mirrors yavsc/.github/workflows/docker-publish-android.yml.
The previous override_dh_auto_build used 'git clone --branch <tag>'
which only accepts branch names. Feeding it 1.0.1-rc02 (a tag,
not yet pushed to origin) failed with 'La branche distante
1.0.1-rc02 n'a pas ete trouvee' and aborted the package build.
Switch to a 'git init + remote add + fetch --depth=1 origin <ref>
+ checkout FETCH_HEAD' sequence, which works for both branches
and tags, including local-only tags fetched via file:// (the
typical RC-staging workflow: 'git tag' on the local checkout,
then 'make POSTIT_GIT_URL=file:///... POSTIT_GIT_TAG=<tag>'
before pushing).
The fetch error now carries a diagnostic that points the operator
at the file:// override and at the missing 'git push'.
Adds tests/test-fetch-upstream.sh with four cases against the
real pazof/yavsc remote and a synthetic local repo: tag on
GitHub, branch on GitHub, .git reuse, and tag via file://.
Wired into 'make test'.
The .deb was hardcoded to 1.0.0-1 in debian/changelog regardless of
POSTIT_GIT_TAG, so 'make POSTIT_GIT_TAG=1.0.1-rc01' produced a
postit_1.0.0-1_amd64.deb (wrong name) and the trailing mv into
POSTIT_OUT_DIR silently fell back to the same wrong-name glob.
Move the version into a @VERSION@-bearing debian/changelog.in
template and render debian/changelog from it in the Makefile, before
dpkg-buildpackage runs (it reads debian/changelog during
dpkg-source --before-build, before any rule fires). debian/changelog
is .gitignored; the template is the source of truth.
debian/rules re-renders the changelog as a safety net for direct
dpkg-buildpackage invocations and adds it to override_dh_auto_clean
so partial builds leave no stale rendered file behind.
Default stays linux-x64 (the only architecture built today).
Override on the command line to target arm64 (or any other
RID supported by Avalonia 12 on Linux):
make deb POSTIT_RUNTIME=linux-arm64
The Makefile passes POSTIT_RUNTIME through to dpkg-buildpackage,
which propagates it to debian/rules, which threads it into
dotnet publish --runtime.
Note: the .deb is mono-architecture. For a multi-arch .deb,
the build must run twice (once per RID) and the resulting .debs
can be combined with dpkg-gencontrol / Multi-Arch: same.
Update README accordingly.
