Releasing GotCloud

Back to parent: GotCloud

Software for GotCloud is kept in the git repository github. This document describes how we create the Debian package and tar file for GotCloud.

Get the software (in this case from our local repository):

 cd ~/dev
 git clone ....git/gotcloud gotcloud
 Cloning into 'gotcloud'...
 done.
 ls gotcloud
 bin/  debian/  INSTALL.txt  README  scripts/  test/

Build the Source

 cd ~/dev/gotcloud/src
 make

Make these available via FTP:

 cd ~/dev/gotcloud
 ls -la *.deb *.tar.gz
 -rw-r--r-- 1 tpg tpg   7933560 May 20 08:28 gotcloud-bin_1.06_amd64.deb
 -rw-r--r-- 1 tpg tpg   7983521 May 20 08:28 gotcloud-bin_1.06.tar.gz
 -rw-r--r-- 1 tpg tpg 382184656 May 20 08:41 gotcloud-test_1.06_amd64.deb
 -rw-r--r-- 1 tpg tpg 383138926 May 20 08:42 gotcloud-test_1.06.tar.gz

 scp *.deb *.tar.gz gotcloud@share.sph.umich.edu

This makes the Debian packages and tar files available to outsiders using anonymous FTP (or wget).
