Repomaker needs a maintainer, please adopt me! Repomaker currently runs on Django 1.11, which went out of security support in July 2020. Please see #234 for more information.
There are several different ways to install Repomaker.
Repomaker is available as Flatpak and
distributed on Flathub.
Once you got Flatpak installed on your system,
either go to your system's app store or execute the following commands (without sudo!):
$ flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
$ flatpak install flathub org.fdroid.Repomaker
$ flatpak run --runtime=org.gnome.Sdk org.fdroid.RepomakerThere is a test image available in Docker for quickly trying out Repomaker. Note that you can run Repomaker on a server and make use of its multi user functionality. See Docker docs and the general docs for more information on that topic.
If you don't want or can't install Repomaker with one of the mentioned methods, you can install it with pip from PyPi.
Please make sure you have the following requirements installed before proceeding with the installation.
pipfor installation of Python 3 dependenciesvirtualenvto create an isolated Python environment- Python development and build files for installing/building some dependencies
On Debian, you can simply run this:
apt install python3-pip python3-wheel python3-dev virtualenv build-essential
keytoolfrom Java Runtime Environment (JRE)jarsignerfrom Java JDK for signing the repo indexeslibmagicfor mime-type detectionrsyncto publish repositoriesgitto publish repositories to git mirrors
On Debian, you can simply run this:
sudo apt install fdroidserver libmagic1 rsync git \
python3-pyqt5.qtwebengine python3-pyqt5.qtwebkit
To not mess with other Python libraries you have installed, we will install repomaker into its own isolated Python environment.
virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python3 repomaker
source repomaker/bin/activate
pip install repomaker[gui]
You should now be able to start by typing:
repomaker
First check that you really have all dependencies from above installed.
If the installation fails with something about openssl,
try to install libssl-dev with apt install libssl-dev.
If the graphical user interface fails to start,
you can try running repomaker-server and repomaker-tasks.
If that works, you should be able to open 127.0.0.1:8000
in your browser.
To work on repomaker, you need npm to fetch CSS and JavaScript dependencies: apt install npm.
Then run npm install to install these dependencies.
If you want to run repomaker in your browser rather then using the GUI, you can start it like this:
virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python3 repomaker
source repomaker/bin/activate
./setup.sh
./run.sh
There also a Vagrant setup based on the GitLab CI setup, it is a quick way to get a development setup. First, set up Vagrant on your machine, then run:
$ cd repomaker
$ vagrant up
$ vagrant ssh
vagrant@basebox-buster64:~$ ip a | sed -En 's,.*inet +(192\.168\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+).*,open http://\1:8000,p'
open http://192.168.121.37:8000
vagrant@basebox-buster64:~$ cd $CI_PROJECT_DIR
vagrant@basebox-buster64:/builds/fdroid/repomaker$ ./tests/test-units.sh- GNU gettext
apt install gettext
