# Debian packages in the Package Registry **(FREE)**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/5835) in GitLab 14.1.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
WARNING:
|
||
|
|
The Debian package registry for GitLab is under development and isn't ready for production use due to
|
||
|
|
limited functionality.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Publish Debian packages in your project's Package Registry. Then install the
|
||
|
|
packages whenever you need to use them as a dependency.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Project and Group packages are supported.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For documentation of the specific API endpoints that Debian package manager
|
||
|
|
clients use, see the [Debian API documentation](../../../api/packages/debian.md).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Enable Debian repository feature
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Debian repository support is still a work in progress. It's gated behind a feature flag that's
|
||
|
|
**disabled by default**.
|
||
|
|
[GitLab administrators with access to the GitLab Rails console](../../../administration/feature_flags.md)
|
||
|
|
can opt to enable it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To enable it:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```ruby
|
||
|
|
Feature.enable(:debian_packages)
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To disable it:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```ruby
|
||
|
|
Feature.disable(:debian_packages)
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Build a Debian package
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Creating a Debian package is documented [on the Debian Wiki](https://wiki.debian.org/Packaging).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Create a Distribution
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
On the project-level, Debian packages are published using *Debian Distributions*. To publish
|
||
|
|
packages on the group level, create a distribution with the same `codename`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To create a project-level distribution:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```shell
|
||
|
|
curl --request POST --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/<project_id>/debian_distributions?codename=unstable
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Example response:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```json
|
||
|
|
{
|
||
|
|
"id": 1,
|
||
|
|
"codename": "unstable",
|
||
|
|
"suite": null,
|
||
|
|
"origin": null,
|
||
|
|
"label": null,
|
||
|
|
"version": null,
|
||
|
|
"description": null,
|
||
|
|
"valid_time_duration_seconds": null,
|
||
|
|
"components": [
|
||
|
|
"main"
|
||
|
|
],
|
||
|
|
"architectures": [
|
||
|
|
"all",
|
||
|
|
"amd64"
|
||
|
|
]
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
More information on Debian distribution APIs:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- [Debian project distributions API](../../../api/packages/debian_project_distributions.md)
|
||
|
|
- [Debian group distributions API](../../../api/packages/debian_group_distributions.md)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Publish a package
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Once built, several files are created:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- `.deb` files: the binary packages
|
||
|
|
- `.udeb` files: lightened .deb files, used for Debian-Installer (if needed)
|
||
|
|
- `.tar.{gz,bz2,xz,...}` files: Source files
|
||
|
|
- `.dsc` file: Source metadata, and list of source files (with hashes)
|
||
|
|
- `.buildinfo` file: Used for Reproducible builds (optional)
|
||
|
|
- `.changes` file: Upload metadata, and list of uploaded files (all the above)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To upload these files, you can use `dput-ng >= 1.32` (Debian bullseye):
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```shell
|
||
|
|
cat <<EOF > dput.cf
|
||
|
|
[gitlab]
|
||
|
|
method = https
|
||
|
|
fqdn = <login>:<your_access_token>@gitlab.example.com
|
||
|
|
incoming = /api/v4/projects/<project_id>/packages/debian
|
||
|
|
EOF
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
dput --config=dput.cf --unchecked --no-upload-log gitlab <your_package>.changes
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Install a package
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Debian package registry for GitLab is under development, and isn't ready for production use. You
|
||
|
|
cannot install packages from the registry. However, you can download files directly from the UI.
