Overview

This repository contains simple Debian packages and a helper script to build and upload them to a Gitea Package Registry.

Layout

• Each package lives in its own directory (for example uconsole-custom-theme/, uconsole-rotate/).
  • Inside each package:
    • DEBIAN/control: package metadata (name, version, architecture, etc.)
    • Payload files arranged exactly as they should be installed (for example usr/share/...).
    • README.md file to document the package.
• builds/: output folder for built .deb files (created automatically via the build-upload script).
• build-upload.sh: interactive helper to build and upload a package.

Requirements

• Packages: dpkg-deb, curl
• A self-hosted Gitea server >= 1.17 (introduced packages)

Build and upload a package

1. Create or modify package paylod/script (ex: usr/bin/uconsole-rotate)
2. Edit DEBIAN/control in the package directory (Bump Version).
3. From within the directory, run:

./build-upload.sh

3. Select a package from the list, then enter your Gitea username/password (or personal access token). The script:

• Builds and output to builds/<package>_<version>_all.deb
• Uploads it to: https://git.chiasson.cloud/api/packages/Olivier/debian/pool/bookworm/main/upload
• Handles Gitea response

Consumer setup (APT on target systems)

Add the source and key (example for bookworm, owner Olivier):

sudo curl -fsSL https://git.chiasson.cloud/api/packages/Olivier/debian/repository.key \
  | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/chiasson-cloud.gpg
echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/chiasson-cloud.gpg] \
https://git.chiasson.cloud/api/packages/Olivier/debian bookworm main" \
| sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/chiasson-cloud.list
sudo apt update

Install packages:

sudo apt install uconsole-custom-theme uconsole-rotate

Notes

• If your package overwrites files from other packages, declare appropriate Replaces (and optionally Conflicts/Breaks) in DEBIAN/control.
• For Gitea, the Debian registry path is owner-scoped: /api/packages/<owner>/debian ....
