[Feature Request] Suggustion

[deusyss]

Hi,

Once again, thanks for this good software.

I think it could be a good idea to add a command (build or create) to directly build a deb package from a dbp file. It so could be use in continuous integration directly

[AntumDeluge]

Thank you very much @deusyss. I think this is a very good idea & will add it to my TODO list.

-- Edit --

Added to TODO list: af50b7f

[deusyss]

Hi, thanks for your quick answer (and sorry from being late to answer myself). Happy to see it in TODO list ^^

[damody]

I need this function too, thanks.

[AntumDeluge]

I apologize that I haven't integrated this yet. I have been busy with another project. And it doesn't help that my Linux/Debian computer broke down. So I've got to set up another one before I can really do any more work on Debreate.

[deusyss]

Hi,
Do you have any dev docs? like UML diagrams, ...

[AntumDeluge]

@deusyss: No. But I will look into it & see if it's something I want to create.

Hi, today I was using debreate again. Great job on the application! I would love a headless version to where i can just put debreate build <name>.dbp and it would automatically count the minor release version number and create a .deb package.

Keep up the great work 👍

[AntumDeluge]

Thank you for the suggestion @witalij-s. I hope that I will be able to get back to working on Debreate soon. I have to get a new Linux/Debian system set up as my old one crashed & am currently using Windows.

Hi, debreate is very useful. Just +1 on this feature request, it would really be great to have that for CI! Wish you good luck with your Linux box!

[AntumDeluge]

Thank you @benelgiac. 😃

Hi, this feature was a showstopper for me because I need to implement continuous integration. So, it was either switching to another build system or try to find a workaround. It turned out that in less than a day I was able to come up with a script that cleanly and orderly (read: with bad copy-paste coding and code slashing) seems to do the job of taking a .dbp file as an input and produce a *.deb file as output.

It's very very naive, I think I will keep improving as I go along using it, but now that I know it can be done, I need to move on to other things. So, I just figured to mention this in case @witalij-s @damody or @deusyss want to take a look and maybe try to use it.

@AntumDeluge I don't think this is even close to propose a proper merge request, because of the bad copy-paste of Build, PrepBuild functions I did and because I had to create a "_headless" version of some utility files to remove wx need. So, I created "headless_md5.py" and "headless_execute.py" and such abominations. Again, this is really something I did to see if it could be done. Still looking for a proper implementation once you get another linux box :)

Check my fork https://github.com/benelgiac/debreate/tree/0.7 if you wish.

Cheers

@benelgiac : That honestly makes me feel really good that you went to lengths to create additional functionality for Debreate. I definitely want to look over what you have done.

I want to apologize to everyone for not having worked on Debreate. As I mentioned before of the issue of getting a Linux box set up, in addition to another project I am part of that recently needed a major overhaul, & simply life have all been in the way.

I have been struggling with figuring out a better implementation for Debreate's .dbp file format. I am going to create a new thread in hopes of getting some suggestions. I'll post a link here.

Edit:

Suggestions for .dbp format: #26

Thanks for this software. I came here in need for this feature too. Unluckily, I need the launcher icons that @benelgiac s version cannot produce.

[benelgiac]

Hi saddy001 if you really need it, you can try my fork (on the 0.7 branch). As I told, it's not superclean code but I've been using it in the last months and it does the job for me. Cheers

@benelgiac Yes thanks for that, but as I mentioned, I need the launcher icons. Your docs say they aren't created. Is it up to date?

[benelgiac]

You know, I really don't remember right now, it was some time ago, sorry... But I will try and check to see what I meant exactly. Il sab 25 gen 2020, 10:00 saddy001 <notifications@github.com> ha scritto:
