Rene van Aerle 95e1d91d5d Mention Ansible in package descriptions These values are used by software updaters to show which applications are being updates to the user. In the case of Ubuntu, it will now show clearly that it is updating Ansible instead of a radically simple IT automation platform.		2017-10-05 08:41:15 -07:00

Ansible Debian Package

To create an Ansible DEB package:

Note: You must run this target as root or set PBUILDER_BIN='sudo pbuilder'

apt-get install asciidoc cdbs debootstrap devscripts make pbuilder python-setuptools
git clone https://github.com/ansible/ansible.git
cd ansible
git submodule update --init
DEB_DIST='xenial trusty precise' make deb

Building in Docker:

git clone https://github.com/ansible/ansible.git
cd ansible
git submodule update --init
docker build -t ansible-deb-builder -f packaging/debian/Dockerfile .
docker run --privileged -e DEB_DIST='trusty' -v $(pwd):/ansible ansible-deb-builder

The debian package file will be placed in the deb-build directory. This can then be added to an APT repository or installed with dpkg -i <package-file>.

Note that dpkg -i does not resolve dependencies.

To install the Ansible DEB package and resolve dependencies:

dpkg -i <package-file>
apt-get -fy install

Or, if you are running Debian Stretch (or later) or Ubuntu Xenial (or later):

apt install /path/to/<package-file>
