Packaging

Current State of Packaging

For documentation and discussion. Design is still in flux.

Repositories and Distributions

We have one apt repository at https://apt.galliumos.org/ which serves three "distributions" (confusing name, but there it is).

We have a second apt repository at https://apt-dev.galliumos.org/ which will be retired.

The current distributions are:

vivid-galliumos

STABLE / RELEASE (default)

priority pinned at 9999, will trump Canonical's vivid repo for all package versions

vivid-galliumos-prerelease

prerelease / staging / unstable

priority pinned at 10050, will also trump our vivid-galliumos repo for all package versions

vivid-galliumos-testing

testing / experimental / current / development / etc

priority pinned at 10090, will also trump our vivid-galliumos-prerelease repo for all package versions

General users will only have our vivid-galliumos distribution enabled (and Canonical's vivid repo.

Packages

Our package version naming convention descends from upstream Ubuntu packages, where applicable.

e.g. for xfce4-settings (4.12.0-0ubuntu1), our patches should be packaged as xfce4-settings (4.12.0-0ubuntu1-galliumos1)

We have some existing packages that are versioned ahead of their upstreams. Unfortunately we can't fix this until upstream releases a version greater than 4.12.9 because of the way debian package versions sort. :(

...or unless we decide to make a hard break sometime before current (BETA1) and 1.0. :(

Deviant package versions

Please fix these if/when the opportunity presents itself!
