New page

This page describes how to configure the '''apt''' or '''yum''' to look for EiffelStudio packages. Additionally it also explains how to create the actual repositories.

== Client configuration ==

For '''apt''', run following commands as root:

<pre>
echo "
deb http://www.eiffel.com/downloads/packages/deb ./
" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
apt-get update
</pre>

After this typing '''apt-cache search eiffelstudio''' in your console should list a number of available packages for EiffelStudio.

For '''yum''' its quite similar:

<pre>
echo "
[base]
name=Eiffel Software
baseurl=http://www.eiffel.com/downloads/packages/yum
enabled=1
" >> /etc/yum.conf
</pre>

Then '''yum search eiffelstudio''' should list the available packages.

== Creating repositories ==

'''Note:''' for simplification, we will assume all packages are located in a single directory. This is because there are no distribution/release specific packages of EiffelStudio.

=== Requirements ===

For creating an '''Apt''' (Debian) repository, following packages are required:

* dpkg-dev
* apt-utils
* gnupg (signing the packages)

<pre>
apt-get install dpkg-dev apt-utils gnupg
</pre>

For '''yum''' (RPM), these tools are required:

* yum-arch
* createrepo

<pre>
yum install yum-arch createrepo
</pre>

=== Using tools ===

In both cases, copy all .deb/.rpm archives into an empty directory (use different directories for Debian/RPM).

To create the '''Apt''' repository, run following commands in the directory where the .deb archives are located:

<pre>
dpkg-scanpackages . > Packages
gzip -c9 Packages > Packages.gz

apt-ftparchive release . > Release
gpg -abs --default-key $KEY -o Release.gpg Release
</pre>

'''Note:''' the uncompressed '''Packages''' file is actually not needed for an online repository. However '''Apt''' does use the uncompressed version if your repository is located on a CD-ROM.

Again for '''Yum''' its a similar procedure:

<pre>
yum-arch .
createrepo .
</pre>

Finally, copy all generated files together with the archives to the location of your repository (http://www.eiffel.com/downloads/packages/deb for the '''Apt''' files, respectively http://www.eiffel.com/downloads/packages/yum for the '''Yum''' files).
