Building DEB package #3

elvenfighter · 2018-09-08T12:43:10Z

I've managed to get a working DEB package by building the binary as described (cmake .. && make).
Since I really hope this will be merged to the original PulseAudio (and, consequently will end up in repositories sooner or later), I did not bother with fancy stuff and using CPack.

However, I wanted to share my script for re-building pulseaudio-module-bluetooth using binaries build from these sources and the original DEB shenanigans from (Ubuntu/Debian) repository.

#!/bin/bash

# Builds pulseaudio-module-bluetooth DEB in current directory
# using binaries from CMake build
# Usage:
#
#   # do the cmake build, e.g.
#   git clone ... && mkdir build && cd build && cmake .. && make
#
#   # build a DEB from that binaries on Ubuntu (or maybe Debian)
#   cd ..
#   mkdir deb && cd deb
#   wget $THIS_SCRIPT_URL -O pkg-build.sh
#   ./pkg-build.sh
#
# This would generate a .deb file with -9git~<hash> in name, install it

BUILD_DIR=$1
PKG_NAME=pulseaudio-module-bluetooth
OS_CODENAME=$(lsb_release -sc)
# agli huck
#REPO_VERSION=$(apt policy "${PKG_NAME}" | grep ubuntu | head -n 1 | awk '{print $1}')

[ ! -d "$BUILD_DIR" ] && BUILD_DIR="../build"
if [ ! -d "$BUILD_DIR" ]; then
  echo "## ERROR: specify build directory with binaries as first argument" >&2
  exit 1
fi

rm -rf "$PKG_NAME"
rm -f *.deb

apt download "${PKG_NAME}/${OS_CODENAME}"

ORIG_PKG=$(find . -maxdepth 1 -name "${PKG_NAME}*.deb")

# extract original packages
mkdir "${PKG_NAME}"
dpkg-deb -x "${ORIG_PKG}" "${PKG_NAME}"
dpkg-deb -e "${ORIG_PKG}" "${PKG_NAME}/DEBIAN"

PLUGINS_DIR="$(find "$PKG_NAME" -type d -name 'pulse-*.*')/modules"

# copy new binaries
find "$BUILD_DIR" -maxdepth 1 -type f -name '*.so' -print -exec cp {} "${PLUGINS_DIR}" \;

# update version
GIT_HASH=$(git rev-parse --short HEAD)
TIMESTAMP=$(date '+%Y%m%d')
sed -e "s/^Version: \(.*\)$/Version: \1-9git+${TIMESTAMP}~${GIT_HASH}/" -i "${PKG_NAME}/DEBIAN/control"

# update md5sums
find "${PKG_NAME}" -type f ! -path "${PKG_NAME}/DEBIAN*" -exec md5sum {} + | sed -e "s|${PKG_NAME}/||g" > "${PKG_NAME}/DEBIAN/md5sums"

dpkg-deb -b "${PKG_NAME}" "${PKG_NAME}.deb"
dpkg-name "${PKG_NAME}.deb"

I didn't want to create a separate issue, I just wanted to mention there is a NixOS package:

Do you know if someone has created a package for Debian Stretch?

@EHfive thanks a lot for your work and especially for the PPA! I've just confirmed it works on Ubuntu 18.04. It changes PulseAudio from 11.1 to 12.2, but works :)

It seems new version has AAC supported.
Any plan to upgrade PPA's packages version?

EHfive · 2018-12-04T02:06:55Z

It seems new version has AAC supported.
Any plan to upgrade PPA's packages version?

I didn't update PPA's packages before because AAC is not such important comparing with aptX, LDAC.
But since you are requesting, I would update it.

Check my PPA next day.

So kind of you.
I have Pixel Buds which is support AAC.
I'll have a try after PPA upgrade.

I've successfully compile on stretch on rpi, but when I ran it pulseaudio crashes at connect (does not do this with original modules-bluetooth* ).
Steps (from memory maybe forget somethings) to compile, can do a more exact guide if I get it to work:

Pulseaudio 12.2 with bluez5
cmake (install not necessary, use the compiled bin)
libfdk-aac
x264 (since I wanted --enable-omx-rpi in ffmpeg)
ffmpeg
pulseaudio-modules-bt

oxwivi · 2019-02-13T11:53:18Z

@elvenfighter, I'm trying to install this fork on my Debian unstable, do you recommend compiling a .deb package is better or just straight up make install taking into consideration future Debian updates that will probably interfere with make installd files?

If I use your script to make the package, can I just dpkg -i that or will there be anymore dependencies to resolve that may or may not break it all?

elvenfighter · 2019-02-13T12:51:17Z

@oxvivi

I was building on Ubuntu, and as you know it is basically Debian Unstable (i.e. Sid). So it should be ok in your case (provided version of pulseaudio is matching).

As for the way of installing, I prefer to keep my system well organized, that is why I prefer installing from packages (and not by make install). If you feel the same, I highly recommend install from package

oxwivi · 2019-02-13T13:07:08Z

The package created using your script appears to have installed without complaint on my container, but what of the codecs? It doesn't seem to express dependencies on packages that provides aptX or ldac codecs. dpkg -S shows that I do have the relevant libraries installed, but I think your .deb should explicitly depend on it if it doesn't already (I'm not familiar with the processing of building packages, so forgive me if I'm calling you on something you already took care of).

elvenfighter · 2019-02-13T14:32:44Z

libldac is built & bundled with the package (see contents).*

As for aptX, the package probably should depend on ffmpeg. But since I have written the script back in the times, when there was no aptX support in this project, it is not reflected in the script. Since then, I have switched to using the PPA from above: https://launchpad.net/~eh5/+archive/ubuntu/pulseaudio-a2dp

However, mainstream (PPA) package does not bundle libldac: it depends on it (this is slight difference).

maybe forget somethings) to compile, ca

Any chance you can share a build guide please?

w0k3 · 2019-04-09T15:44:01Z

Good job, building .deb package in Debian 10 Buster (pa v12.2) worked quite well. I've only used aptX though and I've changed package version of pulseaudio-module-bluetooth to 12.2-4+aptx manually.

kcajjones · 2019-05-01T10:40:05Z

Has anyone had any success getting this to work on a Raspberry Pi 3b(+) stretch?
I'd love to use my Pi as a bluetooth receiver for AptX/LDAC from my phone to my old (dumb) amp/receiver.

w0k3 · 2019-05-02T06:50:55Z

I recommend using Buster, Stretch has quite old PA, v10.0.

joffeoja · 2019-05-26T19:14:03Z

@EHfive Would it be possible to offer packages for Disco and Eoan at the Ubuntu PPA? Much appreciated work here

Linux-Fan · 2019-06-05T20:41:59Z

I join to request for 19.04 packaging.

b8e5n · 2019-06-09T12:44:59Z

+1 for 19.04.
I am using the cosmic one, and it works perfectly (with a restart)
:)

Russell-Jones · 2019-07-09T19:08:26Z

@kcajjones If you try to get it going on Debian Buster, and want to use pulseaudio, note that you'll need to remove bluealsa or it will prevent the a2dp profile from becoming available.

Can you share a file for debian?

w0k3 · 2019-09-16T09:09:31Z

@tborowy this is my current build, it works flawlessly (switches to aptX automatically whenever I turn my headphones on), but I wouldn't trust unknown sources, use with precaution. I am using version suffix so a new upstream update would replace this version, so you loose aptX.

pulseaudio-module-bluetooth_12.2-4+deb10u1+aptx_amd64.deb.zip

NedkoHristov · 2019-10-14T07:13:06Z

HD 4.50

I have the same headphones, but still when I change the mic from integrated on my laptop to HD4.50BTNC sound profile switches from High Fidelity Playback (A2DP Sink) to Headset Head Unit (HSP/HFP).

diegoe · 2019-10-29T06:30:54Z

However, I wanted to share my script for re-building pulseaudio-module-bluetooth using binaries build form these sources and the original DEB shenanigans from (Ubuntu/Debian) repository.

Thanks for the script @elvenfighter! A small issue I found building this in Debian unstable: You might need to change the sed call that changes the Version: in debian/control to something like:

sed -e "s/^Version: $.*$$/Version: \1-9git+${TIMESTAMP}~${GIT_HASH}/" -i "${PKG_NAME}/DEBIAN/control"
(Note the simplification of the Version: selector)

Also note that in Debian unstable you'll have to build the pa submodule in its master version (this is also explained in this project's README).

And remember that if things explode you can just reinstall the original pulseaudio-modules-bluetooth .deb that should be in the same directory as your now modified version. Good luck!

bhack · 2020-03-21T13:31:14Z

Can we add this script to the the repo with a PR?

varishtsg · 2020-04-17T05:47:39Z

Is there any difference between pulseaudio-module-bluetooth and pulseaudio-module-bt

Instructions here suggest installing pulseaudio-module-bluetooth whereas on the main page suggest installing pulseaudio-module-bt.

Which one should be installed?

voideater · 2020-05-16T16:00:31Z

Anyone who have made aptX work with Raspiban Stretch on a RPI 3B+ that can share a short how-to?
