Package go-bin-deb creates binary package for debian system
Using a json
files to declare rules,
it then performs necessary operations to invoke dpkg-deb
to build a package,
then check it with the help of lintian
.
This tool is part of the go-github-release workflow
See the demo.
Check the release page!
go install github.com/mh-cbon/go-bin-deb@latest
A debian system, vagrant, travis, docker, whatever.
To create a binary package you need to
- build your application binaries
- invoke
go-bin-deb
to generate the package - create deb repositories on
travis
hosted ongh-pages
using this script

TLDR
# install a package with dependencies
dpkg -i mypackage.deb
apt-get install --fix-missing
# or
gdebi mypackage.deb
On debian system to install a package .deb
file, you should use dpkg -i
and not apt-get i
.
But, dpkg
does not install dependencies by itself, thus you will need to execute an extra command
apt-get i --fix-missing
to locate and install missing dependencies ater you installed your own .deb
.
An alternative is to use gdebi
, which appears to be bale to all of that in one command.
Finally, if one provides a web interface to host the package, it should be no problem to use a regular apt-get
.
PS: To remove the package dpkg -r
.
