scripts to build linux installer packages #28

AlexeyBarabash · 2018-02-01T10:23:53Z

This PR for issue brave/brave-browser-snap#19 .
Now command npm run create_dist or npm run create_dist -- --debug_build=true --official_build=false creates these packages:

brave-browser-chromium-fork-stable-64.0.3282.119-1.x86_64.rpm
brave-browser-chromium-fork-stable_64.0.3282.119-1_amd64.deb
brave-browser-chromium-fork-beta-64.0.3282.119-1.x86_64.rpm
brave-browser-chromium-fork-beta_64.0.3282.119-1_amd64.deb
brave-browser-chromium-fork-unstable-64.0.3282.119-1.x86_64.rpm
brave-browser-chromium-fork-unstable_64.0.3282.119-1_amd64.deb

rpm and deb for each of channel stable, beta, unstable.

There are two points with this PR:

Web repository for command line is not created yet.
Build script complaints for missing dependencies during creating of rpm package. I have disabled it https://github.com/brave/antimuon/compare/linux_installer_packages?expand=1#diff-b17d27146c2b5403e627bec090114c86R10 . Tested on Fedora 27, 26 installation succeeded, probably it pulls deps from the network. If this is not appropriate, I will search for the way to include missing binaries.

Thanks!

Web repository for command line is not created yet.

No need to work on that part, we can re-use what we do for the browser-laptop based current desktop software.

I think it would be good if we can find a way to avoid that patch and have the dep.

I think this patch can be cleaner just by removing lines 29 and 30 and replacing with lines 36 and 37

Yes, fixed.

Is it better to completely remove the screenshots element?

Agree, removed.

Just remove lines 26-27 and replace with lines 36-37 here, thanks.

This is done.
The reason why I have done that is the message in #chromium-fork from @bridiver

when you are replacing a source file in a chrome gn file you should add a patch with `source -=` and `source +=` vs patching inline in the existing `source =`

But patches here is fragile balance between minimal size for future support and clarity. Direct patch does make the size of result smaller, without obvious damage for clarity. So, thanks for mention about issue.

Please resolve this

The build of rpm packages requires to run on Ubuntu 14.
This patch is removed now.

+     if (is_chrome_branded) {
+       package = "google-chrome"
+     } else {
+-      package = "chromium-browser"


where is this name actually used? If this is a deb we don't want "-chromium-fork" here. If this package name isn't seen by users or if we can just rename it afterwards then I think we shouldn't patch it at all

This line in brave/src/chrome/installer/linux/BUILD.gn does not used anywhere indeed. The package name is defined by the line PACKAGE="brave-browser" at the file https://github.com/brave/antimuon/pull/28/files#diff-a023e566679169856984037106482f04R9 . I have modified this line in prev commits to have consistency between installer/linux/BUILD.gn and chromium-browser.info. Now this is removed.

Thanks for notice, I got rid of chromium-fork mention everywhere, but I have left the package name modified, because it is taken from completely overridden file chromium_src/chrome/installer/linux/common/brave-browser/chromium-browser.info (https://github.com/brave/antimuon/pull/28/files#diff-a023e566679169856984037106482f04R1) and does not affect the patch complexity.

AlexeyBarabash · 2018-02-06T15:43:59Z

Removed workaround patch for calculate_package_deps.py.
On Ubuntu 14 command /usr/lib/rpm/find-requires gives result without rtld(GNU_HASH).
On Ubuntu 16 even on clean install, Ubuntu 17 there is an item rtld(GNU_HASH) in output which breaks the build.
Ubuntu 14 uses rpm of version 4.11.1-3ubuntu0.1 , Ubuntu 16 uses 4.12.0.1+dfsg1-3build3, Ubuntu 17 uses 4.12.0.2+dfsg1-2build2 . And rpm version 4.11 is not available for Ubuntu 16.

Just in case the build is being configured and will be checked in Ubuntu 14.

Fixed issue with build after checkout. Fix is in https://github.com/brave/brave/pull/67 .
The build of all packages succeeded on Ubuntu 14.04 after checkout.

This PR is ready for review, @bbondy , @bridiver.

bbondy · 2018-02-09T05:21:33Z

Could you make the namesbrave-x86_64.rpm and brave-amd64.deb?
If it requires a patch file in chromium src then pls just copy them to the out dir (src/out/Release)

Also secondary priority and can come in a diff PR, but pls make sure it also works with target_arch=x86

npm run build -- --target_arch=x86
npm run create_dist  -- --target_arch=x86
