Creating a Cherokee tar.gz

Post #1 of 5 (2496 views)

Hi all,

I'm wanting to create a .tar.gz file from the latest source code from Git
in the same vein as those up on the Cherokee main downloads section (eg
like this:
http://www.cherokee-project.com/download/1.2/1.2.101/cherokee-1.2.101.tar.gz)
and I can't seem to find instructions on how to do this. I know I can do
'make dist-gzip' to produce a .tar.gz - but wanted to see what the
prescribed process is & if it's documented anywhere.

The reason for this is I'd like to build an RPM for deployment on RHEL 6
(using the spectool/rpmbuild configuration from the Fedora project) so I
don't need to compile and install from source on my target machine. Since
the rpm config already exists (which builds from a .tar.gz), this seems the
easiest path to go down.

Cheers,
David

You can download tar.gz from Github like this:

wget -O cherokee-webserver-9113399.tar.gz https://github.com/cherokee/webserver/tarball/9113399

And you need to download the CTK part separately:
wget -O cherokee-CTK-0af6bc8.tar.gz https://github.com/cherokee/CTK/tarball/0af6bc8

And then you need to merge the 2 repositories, so first untar them:
tar -xzf cherokee-webserver-9113399.tar.gz
tar -xzf cherokee-CTK-0af6bc8.tar.gz

then merge them:
mv cherokee-CTK-0af6bc8 cherokee-webserver-9113399/admin

After that you can recreate a tar.gz from the cherokee-webserver-9113399 directory.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, this doesn't end up producing exactly
the same sort of tarball -- it's missing things like ./configure (which are
in the distributions on the website, but not in Git). For what it's worth,
this page http://www.cherokee-project.com/doc/basics_installation_svn.htmldetails
that the tarball can be expected to have ./configure (and that it
won't be present in Git), but doesn't explain how to produce such a tarball.

Presumably it's a matter of using autogen.sh and/or `make` to against a
clone of the Git repository in order to generate these relevant pieces (eg
./configure), but I'm simply unsure as to the relevant configuration
options that autogen/configure should take when making such a release.
As mentioned, I see that there's the `make dist-gzip` command available, so
seemingly that's the gzipped tarball creation sorted.

Thanks,
David

autogen.sh is the same as configure for 'trunk' series. the same
parameters etc. Just use it instead.

I've utilised:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/cherokee/webserver.git
cd webserver
./autogen.sh
make dist-gzip

to produce a resulting .tar.gz distribution containing './configure' etc
suitable for use against the Fedora EPEL RPM packaging configuration.

Thanks,
David
