Diaspora

/!\ This is very early version of the diaspora package and not recommended for production yet.

diaspora package is available in debian unstable, but it is broken.

# apt-get install diaspora

This will create necessary database initialization and configuration using postgresql.

Diaspora Installer Package

This will install gems via rubygems.org (hence it is in contrib). This is production ready and powers pods like poddery.com and diasp.in

Buster

# apt-get install diaspora-installer

Stretch Backports

# apt-get -t stretch-backports install diaspora-installer

Sid/Unstable

If you have contrib section in your sources list, you can just run

# apt-get install diaspora-installer[-mysql]

The source code of diaspora-installer package could be found here.

TODO

  1. Add autopkgtest (see gitlab for how to do it)
  2. Team's task tracker

Policy for dependency updates

Help keep the gem versions in sync. If deb version of a library is older than required by diaspora (run 'bundle install --local' on a develop branch checkout of diaspora upstream), update the deb version. If debian already has a new version of a library, update the corresponding gem version in diaspora.

  1. tiny version change, patch gemfile
  2. minor version change, test compatibility
  3. major version change, test compatibility and embed gem if needed

Coordinate with upstream for major version updates.

You can find the packaging work at http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-ruby-extras/diaspora.git

See below for the team effort to package the dependencies of Diaspora and Diaspora itself for Debian.
