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
- Add autopkgtest (see gitlab for how to do it)
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.
- tiny version change, patch gemfile
- minor version change, test compatibility
- 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
