Building FreeSWITCH packages using FSDEB

Prerequisites

FreeSWITCH packages can be built when FreeSWITCH is cloned using git only.
(Methods described here won't work if you download a source tarball and extract it)

Please make sure you have git and curl installed:

apt-get update
apt-get install -y git curl

Cloning FreeSWITCH

Assuming you build Debian packages for a FreeSWITCH release (this can be your fork or another branch as well).

cd /usr/src
git clone https://github.com/signalwire/freeswitch -b v1.10

Configuring FreeSWITCH Debian repo (for dependencies)

Since we are building a FreeSWITCH release let's configure FreeSWITCH Community Release Debian repo.
We recommend using FSGET.

Replace <PAT or API token> with your SignalWire Personal Access Token (PAT)
HOWTO Create a SignalWire Personal Access Token

curl -sSL https://freeswitch.org/fsget | bash -s <PAT or API token>

Building packages with FSDEB

curl -sSL https://freeswitch.org/fsdeb | bash -s -- -b 999 -o /usr/src/fsdebs/ -w /usr/src/freeswitch

That's pretty much it!

Output

FSDEB will generate .deb, .dsc, .changes, and .tar.* files in the output directory:

ls -la /usr/src/fsdebs/

Usage

You may be interested in other arguments of FSDEB:

curl -sSL https://freeswitch.org/fsdeb | bash -s -- -b BUILD_NUMBER -o OUTPUT_DIR [-w WORKING_DIR]

Required:

• -b: Build number (part of package version)
• -o: Output directory for packages

Optional:

• -w: Working directory (defaults to git root, needs to be git tree)
