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.
dh_install, by default, only installs files explicitly listed
in debian/<package>.install. Without that file, it silently
installs nothing — the build pipeline ends with an empty .deb
of just changelog and copyright.
List:
/usr/lib/postit/* (managed assemblies)
/usr/bin/postit (wrapper script)
/usr/share/applications/postit.desktop
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/{16,32,48,64,128,256}x{...}/apps/postit.png
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/postit.svg
Initial debian/rules wrote into debian/postit/usr/... directly.
That fails: dh_clean (run between override_dh_auto_build and
dh_install) wipes the package staging dir, and dh_install needs
debian/tmp/ as the canonical staging area to install files
into debian/postit/.
Move the cp-and-convert block out of override_dh_auto_build into
a 'stage_postit' make define, and call it from override_dh_install
right before dh_install moves files into the package tree.
Also: simplify POSTIT_* path variables — drop the duplicated
POSTIT_APP_DIR / POSTIT_LIB_DIR / POSTIT_BIN_DIR / POSTIT_SHARE_DIR
set (they all derived from debian/postit which is now what dh_install
populates).
Build-Depends already includes dotnet-sdk-10.0, imagemagick,
librsvg2-bin, git, ca-certificates. The debhelper-compat (= 13)
line was duplicated: the same version is set in debian/compat
(debhelper reads it from there by convention). dh errors out
with:
dh: error: debhelper compat level specified both in
debian/compat and in debian/control
Drop the line in control.
