• Adapted from https://github.com/quodlibet/ppa-scripts
• Only works for Ubuntu 18.04 and up.
• No debian or rpm repos

# git clone [email protected]:gpodder/ppa-scripts.git gpodder-ppa-scripts
# cd gpodder-ppa-scripts

Edit gpodder.py for newer PPA_VERSION and RELEASE_VERSION.

Create the docker image with devscripts:

# docker build -t ubuntu:18.04-devscripts .

Run an interactive shell in a new container from this image:

# docker run --rm -it --name ppa -v $(pwd):/root/gpodder-ppa-scripts ubuntu:18.04-devscripts

Import your gpg keys in the container

# gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-key 409CB5A228133CC6

Inside, run gpodder.py to build *.changes files for unstable build and gpodder.py --release for stable build:

# cd /root/gpodder-ppa-scripts/
# ./gpodder.py  # snapshot release
# ./gpodder.py -r # stable release

Take note of last two lines:

• first (signing) must be run on your host, where you have your gpg key
• second (dput) must be run in the container to upload packages

Wait about 1/2 hour for builds to finish (mail notification / status on the ppa page).
