Install with Apt?

[alexandermichels]

Hello, I have a Stratum 1 server deployed on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and was wondering if there is any way to install this package there?

I see the cvmfs-contrib site mentions they sometimes build packages for apt, but the README here didn't mention apt or Ubuntu. I enabled cvmfs-contrib apt repositories as instructed on that page, but apt search didn't turn up cvmfs-servermon.

Thanks!

It's true that nobody has written debian packaging for this one yet. I don't know when I'll be able to get to it, so a pull request would be welcome. I would base it on the packaging in https://github.com/cvmfs-contrib/cvmfs-config-egi because that's ready for use on the OpenSUSE Build System where the cvmfs-contrib apt repository is hosted.

Thank you for the response! I don't have experience packing software for apt, but I'll be sure to look over the link you sent to see if I can figure it out.

Ok, good luck. The README.md there shows how to try out building on OBS. There are two scripts in the directory. build.sh can be used to test building a .deb package locally. It gets version numbers from the rpm spec; the rpm spec is expected to be updated first when there's a new version. Once that is working, obsupdate.sh can be used to update the .dsc file there for Debian builds on OBS.
