Hi,
I think we are ready to publish experimental/beta/pre-view packages of
Cockpit for Debian somewhere, but we don't really know what the best
approach would be.
We are making weekly releases and automatically push them to a number of
places, like Fedora 23, a Docker container, or a Fedora COPR (same thing
as a Ubuntu PPA, afaik).
Do you have ideas for how to extend this to include Debian?
Could we get Cockpit into Debian experimental easily, for example?
6:37 a.m.
Have you considered actually creating an Ubuntu PPA to start out with?
That might be the fastest way of getting them out there for folks to try.
One of the reasons I subscribed to this list was that I created some
(extremely primitive) debian packages for Debian/Ubuntu and put them in a
PPA. I let mine stagnate because of the fast pace of Cockpit development
and my lack of free time, but I'd love to give these new ones a quick run
through. Are the current debian source packages available somewhere
publicly that we can try out?

I hadn't considered this previously, but now we do. :-)

Not yet, but hopefully soon.
In the mean time, you try something like this with current Cockpit
master:
$ ./tools/make-source
$ rm -rf cockpit-wip
$ tar xzf cockpit-wip.tar.gz
$ mv cockpit-wip/tools/debian cockpit-wip/debian
$ dpkg-source --compression=gzip -b cockpit-wip
The plan is to run something like this for each weekly release and
publish the result in an apt-gettable way so that people can easily
build it themselves.

Here is the first try:
deb-src https://fedorapeople.org/groups/cockpit/debian-unstable ./
This isn't yet updated automatically during the weekly releases, but
that will hopefully happen soon.

Oops... my bad, that was a warning, not an error. Carry on. :)

I think a PPA is currently the best option to provide high-frequency
releases. For debian there will be a similar thing, but it is still
vaporware at this point.

This should be doable. None of the issues mentioned in #3202 would be
blockers for uploading there. Things that are blockers:
1. We need a proper debian/copyright.
2. Solving the bundled-js problem. Alternatives:
a. Copying system-provided js libraries at build time. Unlikely to
be done in the short-term, due to the many dependencies.
b. Providing the required js in the dist tarball, ideally making
sure that make clean does not remove them (ie, allow building twice in
a row). This requires documenting the license of all bundled js
dependencies in debian/copyright.
I have yet to try the merged packaging, I hope to do this soon.

Are you proposing that we make a Ubunutu One account and maintain a
Ubuntu PPA?
As a first step, we are planning to publish a source-only apt repository
somewhere. Would that be useful?

Okay, let's work on that as well.
