+1 to Ubuntu version (for 7.10).

aMule is wonderful software, but for many it is impossible to use new versions unless a kind person releases a package we can install.  I'm still on 2.1.3, and that client shows most still using 2.1.3,  a few using 2.2.0 and 2.2.1, but no one using 2.2.2.

Not everyone has the skills to compile it or create a package, many rely on more clever people to do that for us.  :-[

Karlston. In the wiki is a step-by-step manual to create the packages. You don't have to understand building, you just have to understand copy and paste.

He switched to Debian, asI would suggest to any Ubuntu user. But that's another discussion.

Code: [Select]
    *  libglib2.0-dev
    * libgtk2.0-dev
    * zlib1g-dev
    * libwxgtk2.8-dev (if you compile wx by hand, this isn't needed. This package is atm only available for debian from Vollstreckers repository)
    * libgd2-xpm-dev
    * bison
    * flex
    * libreadline5-dev
    * libgeoip-dev
    * libupnp-dev

and

    *  flex
    * bison
    * gettext
    * libgtk2.0-dev
    * python-dev (>= 2.4.3)
    * python-dbg
    * zlib1g-dev
    * libjpeg62-dev
    * libpng12-dev
    * libtiff4-dev
    * libgl1-mesa-dev or libgl-dev
    * libglu1-mesa-dev or libglu-dev
    * libesd0-dev
    * libgnomeprintui2.2-dev
    * libgconf2-dev
    * libgstreamer0.10-dev
    * libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev
    * python-central
    * bc
If you want to use the external crypto-library you need in addition:

    * libcrypto++-dev
this is just the needed packages to compile aMule 2.2.x, as wiki  step-by-step-manual-to-create-the-packages said.

Vollstrecker, it is not laziness, but I do not want to compile as a 'way of life'. But you're right: that's another discussion.

I keep searching a repo...

Why don't you create one? You would help many users and it's a one-time thing with every new version, i.e. not much work.

Since a lot of people crying for packages but no one of  them spend some minutes to build those, I'm trying to generate a full set of amule utilities, and not the merely "amule" distributed in getdebs... ;)

I'm not so used with the art of generating packages and I'm cutting and pasting from the wiki page... :)

If I get this error, what am I supposed to do?

The command:
Quote
dch -v `date +%Y%m%d` New Upstream CVS Release

The error
Quote
dch: fatal error at line 453:
Cannot find debian/changelog anywhere!
Are you in the source code tree?

I've also tried to add the "--create" option, but it doesn't work since it complain about:
Quote
dch: fatal error at line 475:
Cannot find debian directory!
Are you in the correct directory?

Best regards
Luca

A question for Festor: can you tell me the ./configure option that you was using for Ubuntu? I will use the same, so there will be a continuity in the process.

As soon as I'll understand how, I'll make the packages shareable by my own. Since them, if someone can host those packages, I'll be glad to send them to him.

Hello Luca,

please make sure that you are inside the source directory, i.e. aMule-2.2.2/. If you type "ls" to list the directory content, there should be a debian folder inside. Is this the case?

Edit: If you use dpkg-build (or similar, it has been far too long since I used a debian based system, please excuse) to use, you don't have to specify any option as everything as already been done by Vollstrecker when he wrote the files inside the debian folder.

Thank you for the reply.
Sorry, but I'm in the amule.2.2.2 directory, generated by unpacking the archive just downloaded. Following the listing of the directory.

About the ./configure, there is a little matter since, if I use the standard options amulegui, daemon and so forth, they seem to be disabled. In this way I should only get what already is placed under "getdeb" repository (at least, I guess so).

After that, concerning the configure option, there's also a "monolithic" parameter which I don't know how to manage.

The debian-dir was excluded in 2.2.2
The easiest way to get the debs working is to rebuild my sources. Download these three files:

http://www.vollstreckernet.de/debian/dists/testing/amule-stable/source/amule_2.2.2-1.diff.gz
http://www.vollstreckernet.de/debian/dists/testing/amule-stable/source/amule_2.2.2-1.dsc
http://www.vollstreckernet.de/debian/dists/testing/amule-stable/source/amule_2.2.2.orig.tar.gz

I hope the testing ones work in ubuntu, if not, try same files from the stable dir.

dpkg-source -x amule_2.2.2-1.dsc
cd  into the new dir
dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -rfakeroot (Or if you want them to be signed: dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -k<your-secret-key-id>)

This creates the debs. Maybe you can reuse the sources, too. I don't know if they get changed. By now I have some problems with build of xas-pkg when -b is used.

You are indeed correct, there is no debian folder included in the release. Undoubtly a wise decision as building debian packages is well known to be a fiendish ritual, but this won't help our cause.

Therefore I suggest stealing the debian folder from Vollstreckers packages (the diff.gz file) and patching the aMule 2.2.2 source tree. Then try following the wiki steps, I think dpkg --build is the command to build packages. If anything doesn't work due to the slight differences between Ubuntu and Debian, please report the error here and we'll see what is to change.

Edit: Just do what he said, he should know what he's talking about.

Ok. Now I'm back home. This evening I'm going to try both ways. As soon as I will have the packages ready, I will go to search a way to distribute them.

See U, space cowboy. :)
