zls-deb

Here are the scripts and helper files I use to create .deb files from precompiled binaries of Zig language server, which I host on my apt packages server.

I am not endorsed by @zigtools. I just like their project, and see that they aren't publishing .deb files of their own.

Usage

The easy, trusting way:

  1. Go to http://packages.joekoop.com and run the two commands at the top of the page.
  2. Update your local indecies: sudo apt update
  3. Install ZLS: sudo apt install zls

The slightly more difficult, less trusting way:

  1. Clone this repo: git clone https://github.com/jkoop/zls-deb.git
  2. Change to the directory that corresponds with the version you want to package.
  3. (Trust check) Read make-package.sh and look for anything that you don't like.
    • The script downloads the precompiled binaries and libraries from GitHub itself,
    • copies them into a new directory along with the metadata file, DEBIAN-control,
    • and builds a .deb file with dpkg-deb (man page).
  4. Run the script: ./make-package.sh
  5. The resulting .deb file will be in your CWD.
