Releasing GotCloud

Back to parent: GotCloud

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

Get the software (in this case from github):

 cd ~/dev
 git clone git://github.com/statgen/gotcloud.git
 Cloning into 'gotcloud'...
 done.
 ls gotcloud
 bin/  Copyrights/  debian/  gotcloud  INSTALL.txt  README  release_version.txt  scripts  src  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).
