Setup .deb package and package repo

[jdknives]

Feature description

We will need to setup scripts for creating Skywire .deb packages and setup a package repo afterwards where we maintain official .deb packages.

The task of creating an apt repo is more or less just the creation of the conf/distributions configuration file. The rest is handled by reprepro.

here's an example; what I was using in skyfleet-

#!/bin/bash
#sign the package repository in order to update the github repo
if [[ "$2" == "sign" ]]; then
signwith=DE08F924EEE93832DABC642CA8DC761B1C0C0CFC
fi

default_debian_codename=(sid) #e.g. jessie, stretch, buster, sid
#determine system architecture
#mycarch=$(dpkg --print-architecture)
packagearchitecture=$(dpkg --print-architecture)
#uncomment to create the repo for github
if [ ! -z $signwith ]; then
packagearchitecture="amd64 arm64 armhf armel i386 mips mipsel mips64el ppc64el riscv64 s390x"
fi

#get debian version codename
which_distribution=$(cat /etc/os-release | grep Debian)


if [ -f  /etc/os-release ]; then
checkremove="VERSION_CODENAME="
if [[ "$(cat /etc/os-release | grep $checkremove)" == $checkremove ]]; then
debian_codename=$(cat /etc/os-release | grep $checkremove)
debian_codename=${debian_codename#"$checkremove"}
else
debian_codename=$default_debian_codename
fi
fi
#need to error if this is empty
if [ -z $debian_codename ]; then
  echo -e "error, can't find debian distribution codename"
  exit
fi

echo -e "making repo for debian $debian_codename $mycarch"
repodirectory=$1
if [[ -f *'.deb' ]]; then
repodirectory=$(pwd)
else
if [ -z $repodirectory ]; then
repodirectory="built"
fi
fi
if [ ! -d $repodirectory ]; then
echo "Error: can't find built packages dir in which to create a repo"
exit
else
cd $repodirectory
fi
if [ ! -d "conf" ]; then
mkdir conf
fi

#https://serverfault.com/questions/279153/why-does-reprepro-complain-about-the-all-architecture
#If you specify your .deb (control file) as Architecture: all, then don't put anything into the reprepro distributions file
#other than the arch's that you want it to get put into.
#Architectures: amd64 arm64 armhf armel i386 mips mipsel mips64el ppc64el riscv64 s390x
#The all packages are then available in all the architectures defined in conf/distributions

echo "creating repo configuration file"
echo "Origin: localhost" > conf/distributions
echo "Label: localhost" >> conf/distributions
echo "Codename: $debian_codename" >> conf/distributions
echo "Architectures: $packagearchitecture" >> conf/distributions
#echo -e "Architectures: $mycarch" >> conf/distributions
#echo -e "Architectures: all" >> conf/distributions
echo "Components: main" >> conf/distributions
echo "Description: lorem ipsum dolor sit amet!" >> conf/distributions
if [ ! -z $signwith ]; then
echo "SignWith: $signwith" >> conf/distributions
fi
echo "Creating debian package repo"
set -e pipefail
reprepro --basedir $(pwd) includedeb $debian_codename *.deb
#reprepro --basedir $(pwd) includedeb sid *.deb

this sccript will overwrite the configuration file every time, so for subsequent runs I just use the last command which is commented out.

Fixed. Just waiting for first package creation with the next release.
