- dpkg - Debian's package maintenance system
- The primary interface for the dpkg suite is the ‘dselect’ program;
- a more low-level and less user-friendly interface is available in
- the form of the ‘dpkg’ command.
- Releases
- --------
- The current legacy, stable and development releases can be found at:
- <http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/d/dpkg/>
- For older releases check:
- <http://snapshot.debian.org/package/dpkg/>
- Mailing List
- ------------
- The subscription interface and web archives can be found at:
- <https://lists.debian.org/debian-dpkg/>
- The mailing list address is (no subscription required to post):
- debian-dpkg@lists.debian.org
- Source Repository
- -----------------
- <http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=dpkg/dpkg.git>
- <git://anonscm.debian.org/dpkg/dpkg.git>
- Building from git source
- ------------------------
- To prepare the dpkg source tree from git before starting the build process
- some required software needs to be installed:
- GNU autoconf >= 2.60
- GNU automake >= 1.11
- GNU libtool >= 2.0
- GNU gettext >= 0.18.2 (or just autopoint if using --disable-nls)
- flex
- After installing the needed software, and running the following command on
- the git tree:
- $ autoreconf -f -i
- the source should be roughly equivalent to the distributed tar source.
- Building from tar source
- ------------------------
- The minimum software required to configure and build dpkg from a tarball is:
- C89 compiler with few C99 extensions (see doc/coding-style.txt)
- GNU make
- pkg-config
- perl
- To enable optional functionality or programs, this software might be needed:
- zlib (used instead of gzip command-line tool)
- xz's liblzma (used instead of xz command-line tool)
- libbzip2 (used instead of bzip2 command-line tool)
- libselinux
- curses compatible library (needed on --enable-dselect)
- To run the test suite («make check»):
- TimeDate perl module
- IO-String perl module
- Test::Pod perl module (optional)
- Test::Perl::Critic perl module (optional)
- Perl::Critic::Utils perl module (optional)
- Define the environment variable DPKG_DEVEL_MODE to run the test suite
- in development mode, to include tests that might not be pertinent during
- normal release builds.
- To enable additional developer's documentation («make doc») this software
- will be needed:
- pod2man
- doxygen
- dot
- To enable translated documentation this software will be needed:
- po4a >= 0.36.4 (>= 0.41 for VPATH builds)
- To enable code coverage («./configure --enable-coverage; make coverage»)
- this software is needed:
- lcov (from the Linux Test Project)
- Devel-Cover perl module
- The build process is done by running the usual «./configure; make». To
- see all available configuration options please run «./configure --help».
- The following configure options might be of interest to disable specific
- programs:
- --disable-dselect
- --disable-start-stop-daemon
- --disable-update-alternatives
- And the following to disable modifications to the build flags:
- --disable-compiler-warnings
- --disable-compiler-optimisations
- --disable-linker-optimisations
