Packaging rules for various Ubuntu distros

We use a following resources to build Ubuntu images of Elmer:

1. Main elmer repository: https://github.com/elmercsc/elmerfem
2. Packaging rules (this repo): https://github.com/ElmerCSC/elmer-packaging-ubuntu (each distro has different recipe)
3. Elmer CSC ubuntu packaging team home page at launchpad: https://launchpad.net/~elmer-csc-ubuntu
4. Elmer CSC ppa Elmer personal packaging archive at Launchpad: https://launchpad.net/~elmer-csc-ubuntu/+archive/ubuntu/elmer-csc-ppa
5. Launchpad Recipes: https://code.launchpad.net/~elmer-csc-ubuntu/+recipes
6. Launchpad code is used to import code from GitHub to Launchpad

Launchpad mirrors 1 and 2 to build the packages, once packages are built they are uploaded to 4. The mirrored code can be found from 3→"Code"→"View Git repositories". The building of the packages are controlled by "Launchpad Recipes".

In order to create a new build from fresh set of packaging rules do:

1. Import packaging rules repository to Launchpad:
   • Follow 6 → "Import your project"
   • Owner: Elmer CSC ubuntu packaging
   • Project: elmercsc
   • Name: , e.g. "packaging-bionic", "packaging-disco", …
     - Repo url: Git, Point this to new packaging rules repository
     - Target version control system: Git
   • Request import
2. Create a new recipe
   • Go to https://code.launchpad.net/~elmer-csc-ubuntu/elmercsc/+git/elmer-github-devel → "Create packaging recipe"
   • Give it a unique name, e.g. "elmer-daily-{ubuntuversion}"
   • Owner: Elmer CSC ubuntu packaging
   • [*] Built daily
   • [*] Use an existing PPA: elmer-csc-ppa
   • Default distribution series:
     - Click here which Ubuntu distro you wish to target the build.
   • Recipe text (change to the name you set in stage 1 above):

     # git-build-recipe format 0.4 deb-version {debversion}-{time}~{git-commit}
     lp:~elmer-csc-ubuntu/elmercsc/+git/elmer-github-devel devel
     nest-part packaging lp:~elmer-csc-ubuntu/elmercsc/+git/ distro_dir debian

   • Click create recipe. And it should work
