Pre-built OpenCog packages for Debian sid

I periodically upload pre-built OpenCog packages to my personal Debian APT repository. I usually build these packages on Debian sid (unstable), but you can use them on Debian Bullseye (testing) or the recent Ubuntu releases. And of course, you can quite easily rebuild them by yourself.

How to apt-get opencog

1. Put something like the following as /etc/apt/sources.list.d/opencog.list:

deb https://people.debian.org/~mhatta/debian mhatta-unstable/
deb-src https://people.debian.org/~mhatta/debian mhatta-unstable/

Or, you can download opencog.list from here.

2. You need to add my GPG pubkey.

$ wget -q -O - https://people.debian.org/~mhatta/mhatta.asc | sudo apt-key add

3. Install packages.

$ sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install opencog

There are currently 9 packages available: opencog, opencog-cogutil, opencog-atomspace, opencog-moses, opencog-asmoses, opencog-relex, opencog-miner, opencog-cogserver, opencog-ure, opencog-visualization. opencog depends on the others, so apt-get install opencog should be enough. apt-get source,apt-get build-dep, etc. should also work.

jwnl(Java WordNet Library) is not a part of OpenCog, but is available in this APT repository since opencog-relex uses it and not available in the main Debian archive. link-grammar is avavilable in the main Debian archive but sadly has been orphaned and has no Debian maintainer currently.

Also, you can access the APT repository directly: https://people.debian.org/~mhatta/debian/mhatta-unstable/. You can download older packages from there by hand.

Docker image

Debian-based Docker container image is available at dockerhub.

Building OpenCog by yourself using these files

1. Clone this repo into a directory.

2. Create directories, then clone each OpenCog GitHub repo into those dirs.

3. Copy update-$REPO_NAME.sh into each directory.

So the directory structure will look like the following:

.
├── asmoses
│   ├── asmoses (repo)
│   └── update-asmoses.sh
├── atomspace
│   ├── atomspace (repo)
│   └── update-atomspace.sh
├── cogserver
│   ├── cogserver (repo)
│   └── update-cogserver.sh
├── cogutils
│   ├── cogutils (repo)
│   └── update-cogutils.sh
├── miner
│   ├── miner (repo)
│   └── update-miner.sh
├── moses
│   ├── moses (repo)
│   └── update-moses.sh
├── opencog
│   ├── opencog (repo)
│   └── update-opencog.sh
├── opencog-debian (repo)
│   ├── README.md
│   ├── atomspace
│   ├── cogutils
│   ├── miner
│   ├── moses
│   ├── opencog
│   └── relex
│   └── ure
├── relex
│   ├── relex (repo)
│   └── update-relex.sh
├── ure
│   ├── ure (repo)
│   └── update-ure.sh
├── visualization
    ├── visualization (repo)
    └── update-visualization.sh

4. Run update-$REPO_NAME.sh. This will create the source dir and the orig source tarball, then copy debian/ into the source dir from opencog-debian.

5. Install needed packages for the build by sudo apt-get build-dep $PACKAGE_NAME. Edit debian/changelog.

6. In the source dir, run $ dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
