DEB Packaging of BlueChi

In order to create a .deb package for BlueChi, first checkout the branch or tag for which the package should be built and update the changelog.

Next, build the following container image from the BlueChi directory:

podman build -t bluechi-deb-build -f debian/bluechi-deb-build .

Subsequently, run that container and mount the BlueChi directory into it:

podman run -it -v <path-to-bluechi>:/var/bluechi-build/bluechi bluechi-deb-build /bin/bash

Inside the container create the tarball, move it to the parent directory and rename it in the same go to the latest entry in changelog:

cd /var/bluechi-build/bluechi
./build-scripts/create-archive.sh
mv bluechi-<version>.tar.gz ../bluechi_<version>.orig.tar.gz

In the BlueChi directory run:

meson setup builddir
dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us -rfakeroot

This will produce the desired .deb packages in the parent directory /var/bluechi-build. Be sure to move them to the mounted /var/bluechi-build/bluechi.
