[PATCH 0/7] Add deb format for guix pack. |
Date: |
Mon, 21 Jun 2021 02:10:39 -0400 |
Hello Guix!
This patch set adds support to produce Debian archives (.deb packages) via
guix pack. It's rudimentary but functional. You can try a simple example
like so:
$ ./pre-inst-env guix pack -f deb -C xz hello -S /usr/bin/hello=bin/hello
Copy the generated .deb to your dpkg-based distribution of choice, then:
$ sudo apt install ./91ypmi1j5py9qk034kki5wrgy0n52yz9-hello-deb-pack.deb
$ realpath $(which hello)
/gnu/store/lk9cmjjhgxpkxxi7m54y0jlv3rqvpb2n-hello-2.10/bin/hello
$ hello
Hello, world!
Fun, no? We can now distribute software built with Guix transparently to any
Debian-based distribution.
Maxim Cournoyer (7):
pack: Extract builder code from self-contained-tarball.
pack: Factorize base tar options.
pack: Fix typo.
pack: Improve naming of the packs store file names.
pack: Prevent duplicate files in tar archives.
tests: pack: Fix compressor extension.
pack: Add support for the deb format.

Done.
