How to build package and send it to Launchpad.net:

• apt-get install git dpkg-dev debhelper dput

• Setup your public GPG key that's registered in Launchpad

  • Create new key: gpg --gen-key
  • Or import already existing key: gpg --import /path/to/gpg_private.key
  • Check local keys: gpg --list-secret-keys
  • Send it to Ubuntu keyserver: gpg --send-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com <PUB_HEX8_ID>
  • Select OpenPGP key on your personal Launchpad page
  • Note: my own key that I use for signing Whitesource packages is 2FDF8A4B 2016-03-17 Ilya Evseev (lp:whitesource) <ilya.evseev@gmail.com>

• git clone https://github.com/ilyaevseev/whitesource-fs-agent-dpkg && cd whitesource-fs-agent-dpkg

• Put to this directory an actual version of whitesource-fs-agent-A.B.C.D.jar (and remove previous)

• Add entry to debian/changelog:

  • version should match JAR version A.B.C.D
  • signer should match PGP userid "Full Name (comment) email@deneg.net"

• dpkg-buildpackage -S

• dput ppa:whitesource/whitesource-fs-agent ../whitesource-fs-agent_A.B.C.D-X_source.changes

How to install package from Launchpad.net:

• echo "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/whitesource/whitesource-fs-agent/ubuntu trusty main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/Whitesource.list
• apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv C339C2C0
• apt-get update
• apt-get install whitesource-fs-agent
• customize /etc/default/whitesource and /etc/whitesource/whitesource-fs-agent.config files
• run /usr/bin/whitesource-fs-agent

Hot to get and check JAR dependencies:

• Install the latest http://tattletale.jboss.org/
• Put JAR file to separate directory
• cd /path/to/tattletale
• java -Xmx512m -jar tattletale.jar /path/to/whitesource/ /path/to/created/report/
• cd /path/to/whitesource-fs-agent-dpkg
• javac check_tattle_deps.java
• CLASSPATH=. java check_tattle_deps /path/to/created/report/dependson/index.html
• add JARs to CLASSPATH until all FAIL's converted to good's
• put resulting list to whitesource-fs-agent file.
