  * 5.3 / 5.4: Close [http://bugs.debian.org/360143 #360143], it's fixed upstream.

The purpose of this page is to provide resources to aid members of the Debian ["BOINC"] maintenance team in packaging ["BOINC"] and related software.

Using the Subversion repository

Development is coordinated through a [http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-boinc Subversion repository]. It follows a brief HOWTO for working with this repository. There is also a ["SmallSVNTutorial"] on this wiki. For a detailed introduction in Subversion have a look at the [http://svnbook.red-bean.com/ Version Control with Subversion] book.

  • Download the files from the the repository. Substitute smoe-guest in the URL with your userid:

    svn co svn+ssh://smoe-guest@svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-boinc
  • Now, files can be edited and subsequently be submitted (checked in) back to the repository:

    svn ci
  • To get the latest version again, run update without the reqirement of specifying the URL again, which is stored in local files:

    svn up
  • The program [http://packages.debian.org/unstable/devel/svn-buildpackage svn-buildpackage] is nice for creating Debian packages directly from a Subversion working directory. Before building packages you need a BOINC .orig.tar.gz file, see [http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-boinc/trunk/boinc/debian/README.Debian-source?op=file README.Debian-source]. Once you obtained a source tarball run

    svn-buildpackage -rfakeroot

    in the directory trunk/boinc/ and subsequently inspect the file trunk/boinc/.svn/deb-layout. That file defines origDir, the directory where the .orig.tar.gz files are stored. Once this variable is adjusted another run of svn-buildpackage -rfakeroot should build BOINC source and binary packages.

For remaining questions send an email to our [http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-boinc-devel mailing list].
