InspIRCd Packages

About

This repository contains scripts for building InspIRCd packages. Currently, it has support for:

• deb on Debian 11, 12, and 13
• deb on Ubuntu 20.04, 22.04, and 24.04
• RPM on CentOS 7
• RPM on Rocky Linux 8 and 9

Support for packaging systems and platforms is planned. See the open issues for details.

Requirements

To build the packages you will need the following software:

• Bash 4 or newer
• Docker

Usage

To build packages:

1. Set the INSPIRCD_VERSION environment variable to an InspIRCd tag.
2. Run the ./build.sh script in your shell.
3. Get a cup of tea whilst packages are built.

The packages will be built into the ./build directory.

Advanced Usage

The following environment variables can be set to change the behaviour of the build scripts:

INSPIRCD_CONTRIB (default: none)

A space-delimited list of the contrib modules to install and build. These modules are maintained by third parties and are not supported by the InspIRCd Team.

INSPIRCD_MODULES (default: varies)

A space-delimited list of the extra modules to build. If not set it defaults to all of the modules which have dependencies available and can legally be shipped in binary form.

INSPIRCD_PACKAGES (default: deb rpm html)

A space-delimited list of the package types to build. The current supported options are:

Name	Description
deb	Build the deb packages for Debian-based distributions.
rpm	Build the RPM packages for RHEL-based distributions.
html	Build the web index for the packages. Should always be listed last.

INSPIRCD_REPOSITORY (default: inspircd/inspircd)

The GitHub repository to build the specified version from. This is useful if you have a custom fork you want to test changes in.

INSPIRCD_REVISION (default: 1)

Sets the revision of the package. This is useful if you are rebuilding the package and want it to take preference over a previously built version.

License

These scripts are licensed under the same license as InspIRCd (GPLv2).

inspircd-packages's Issues

Allow building specific git snapshots instead of releases.

Example configs are compressed in the deb packages

This is annoying because it means package users can't just <include> the provider configs and have to decompress and copy them defeating the point of them existing.

Debian package support

Windows package support

Stop packaging for Debian 10 when it goes EOL

On 2022-07-06 Debian 10 ("buster") will stop receiving security updates. When this happens we should stop packaging it.

I have left a warning about this on the downloads page for v3.12.0. If things go as planned our last release which supports Debian 10 should be v3.13.0 on the 29th of April and v3.14.0 on the 26th August will just ship Debian 11 and 12.

Stop packaging for Ubuntu 18.04 when it goes EOL

On 2023-04-26 Ubuntu 18.04 ("bionic") will stop receiving security updates. When this happens we should stop packaging it.

I'll start adding warnings to the release page from 3.13.0.

ARM64 support

Currently we only ship x86_64 packages. Given the recent interest in ARM64 it'd be good if we could ship packages for that too.

CentOS: https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/AltArch/AArch64

Debian: https://wiki.debian.org/Arm64Port

Ubuntu: https://ubuntu.com/download/server/arm

Arch Linux Support

There is already an AUR package which I did maintain for some time. But a separate repository with binary packages would be great (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/inspircd/)

Snap package support

Flatpak package support
