\subsection{Debian Package Management}

\subsubsection{Introduction}
\begin{frame}
\frametitle{Package Management}
\begin{itemize}
\item Dependencies
\item Updates
\item Licensing
\item Managing Repositories
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}
\frametitle{Debian Package Management}
\begin{itemize}
\item Binary packages (.deb)
\item dpkg is the base software of the Debian Package Management System
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}

\subsubsection{dpkg}
\begin{frame}[fragile]
\frametitle{Using dpkg}
\begin{verbatim}
# Install a package
dpkg -i packagename.deb
# Get a list of the installed packages
dpkg -l
# Get a list of the installed packages
# which match a specific pattern
dpkg -l zlib*
# remove a package
dpkg -r packagename
# remove a package
# (and it's configuration files)
dpkg -P packagename
\end{verbatim}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}[fragile]
\frametitle{Using dpkg}
\begin{verbatim}
# Figure out to which package a
# file belongs do
dpkg -S /bin/df
# Get a list of files
# which will be installed
# with a package
dpkg -L coreutils
# Get sone informations about an archive
dpkg -I packagename.deb
# Reconfigure a package
dpkg-reconfigure packagename
\end{verbatim}
\end{frame}

\subsubsection{APT}
\begin{frame}
\frametitle{The \textbf{A}dvanced \textbf{P}ackaging \textbf{T}oolkit}
\begin{itemize}
\item DPKG is the mechanism to install the package itself. APT will keep track of
the dependencies and so on...
\item Consists of several tools:
\item apt-get
\item apt-cache
\item ...
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}[fragile]
\frametitle{The \textbf{A}dvanced \textbf{P}ackaging \textbf{T}oolkit}
Repository list is kept in:
\begin{verbatim}
/etc/apt/sources.list
\end{verbatim}
The repository list looks like:
\begin{verbatim}
deb http://debian.tu-bs.de/debian lenny \
      main contrib non-free
deb-src http://debian.tu-bs.de/debian lenny \
      main contrib non-free
[...]
\end{verbatim}
\end{frame}


\begin{frame}[fragile]
\frametitle{The \textbf{A}dvanced \textbf{P}ackaging \textbf{T}oolkit}
There are several frontends for APT. The most important ones are:
\begin{itemize}
\item aptitude
\item synaptic
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}[fragile]
\frametitle{apt-get}
\begin{verbatim}
# Update the package list
apt-get update
# Upgrade all packages on your system
apt-get upgrade
# Upgrade packages on your system AND
# and resolves any new dependencies
apt-get dist-upgrade
\end{verbatim}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}[fragile]
\frametitle{apt-get}
\begin{verbatim}
# Install a package
apt-get install packagename
# Remove a package
apt-get remove packagename
# Remove a package
# including its configuration files
apt-get --purge remove packagename
# Clean the local apt cache
apt-get clean
\end{verbatim}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}[fragile]
\frametitle{apt-cache}
\begin{verbatim}
# Looking for a package
apt-cache search minicom
# Show dependencies
apt-cache depends minicom
# Show a user readable record
apt-cache show minicom
\end{verbatim}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}[fragile]
\frametitle{apt-get behind a proxy}
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/02proxy:
\begin{verbatim}
Acquire::http::Proxy "http://proxy:8080";
\end{verbatim}
with user:
\begin{verbatim}
Acquire::http::Proxy \
   "http://user@proxy:8080";
\end{verbatim}
with user and password:
\begin{verbatim}
Acquire::http::Proxy \
   "http://user:pass@proxy:8080";
\end{verbatim}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}[fragile]
\frametitle{aptitude}
Aptitude has an \textbf{advanced dependency handling} and a graphical front-end. The
syntax is quite similar to apt-get and apt-cache:
\begin{verbatim}
# apt-get install minicom
aptitude install minicom
# apt-cache search minicom
aptitude search minicom
\end{verbatim}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}[fragile]
\frametitle{apt-get vs. aptitude ;-)}
apt-get has super cow powers; aptitude does not!! ;-)
\begin{verbatim}
$ aptitude moo
There are no Easter Eggs in this program.

$ apt-get moo
         (__) 
         (oo) 
   /------\/ 
  / |    ||   
 *  /\---/\ 
    ~~   ~~   
...."Have you mooed today?"...
\end{verbatim}
\end{frame}

\subsubsection{deb packages}
\begin{frame}
\frametitle{The .deb file format}
A Debian archive contains three files:
\begin{itemize}
\item debian-binary: Version of the archive formate
\item control.tar.gz: GZIPPed Tarball containing the archive's control files
\item data.tar.gz: GZIPPed Tarball containing the archives data files
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}[fragile]
\frametitle{Creating .deb packages}
Directory structure:
\begin{verbatim}
hello_pkt/
  debian/
    changelog
    control
    copyright
    ...
  bin/
    hello
\end{verbatim}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}[fragile]
\frametitle{Creating .deb packages}
\begin{verbatim}
# hello_pkt/debian/control
Package: hello
Version: 0.0.1
Section: misc
Priority: optional
Architecture: i386
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.2.4-4)
Maintainer: Max Mustermann <m@mustermail.de>
Description: Simple hello world program
\end{verbatim}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}[fragile]
\frametitle{Creating .deb packages}
\begin{verbatim}
# Building the package
dpkg-deb -b hello_pkt
# dpkg -I hello_pkt.deb
[...]
 Version: 0.0.1
 Section: misc
 Priority: optional
 Architecture: i386

\end{verbatim}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}[fragile]
\frametitle{Creating .deb packages}
\begin{verbatim}
$ ar -tv hello_pkt.deb
rw-r--r-- 0/0  [...] 2011 debian-binary
rw-r--r-- 0/0  [...] 2011 control.tar.gz
rw-r--r-- 0/0  [...] 2011 data.tar.gz
\end{verbatim}
\end{frame}

\subsubsection{debhelper}
\begin{frame}[fragile]
\frametitle{dh\_make}
dh\_make is a helper to create skeletons for the contents in the DEBIAN/
directory:
\begin{verbatim}
$ mkdir hello-0.0.1
$ cd hello-0.0.1
$ dh_make -c gpl2 -n -s -e m@mustermann.de
\end{verbatim}
