Managing debian.org metapackages
Clone the debian.org repository.
In addition to a few scripts which are deployed to all systems, the repository contains Debian packaging for metapackages which are used to install dependencies for services.
Each metapackage is named debian.org-service
. After updating the list of dependencies for the service, add an appropriate changelog entry.
The make-deb
script can be used to build a full set of metapackages, which can then be deployed to the FTP archive on draghi. Alternatively, running make-deb-snapshot
can build one or more
metapackages and automatically deploy them to draghi's FTP archive. It should be passed a list of metapackage names with the initial debian.org-
removed.
In either case, the updates can then be installed in the usual manner.
