Hello! I'm looking for a convenient wrapper of standard Debian packaging
toolchain in order to automatize the deployment process. We use Ubuntu
and Debian, and the most part of code is written in C++, therefore we
need to compile and build binary debs. Currently our infrastructure
consists of:
1. Gitlab;
2. Isolated build environment inside Docker containers (where we
usually do `git clone && mk-build-deps && debuild`);
3. Aptly;
4. Self-written Python scripts linking all these components;is l
At the moment we're trying to collect more information about existing
packaging systems. Our self-written scripts no longer meet our needs.
Now we have faced a choice: either we move our deployment process into
third-party packaging system (if we find the good one), or we get
involved into the development of own full-featured system.
I would like to put an emphasis on the most in-demand features:
1. Lightweight isolated environment (hardware virtualization is not
suitable);
2. Git support;
3. RESTful API (in order to provide clear integration with git hooks
that will launch build process);
4. Web interface;
5. Support for a different build backends (Debian default toolchain |
CPack);
6. Binary package repository integration;
7. Package version control (support for builds from different branches,
build number incrementation, keep changelog consistent, etc.);
8. Email notification;
9. Privacy (ability to deploy the system on the own facilities);
