Where can I find the debian package?

[chmduquesne]

Hi there,

After reading the article, I was under the impression that I would be able to find a debian package. Since I can't find it via apt, I am assuming that it is available in a non-official repository, or at least as a binary .deb somewhere.

Where can I find it, if it exists?

Cheers,

It doesn't. You will need to build it yourself.

Hi!

Thank you. I am quite new to debian packaging. What would be the commands to run? In which directory? I tried

dh_make --native -p haproxy-auth-request_1.0.0

but it says that the debian directory already exists.

Thanks!

dpkg-buildpackage should do everything you need.

Thanks! FYI I gave it a try, it gives me the following error:

I could not figure out how to debug this, so I thought I would at least let you know.

You'll need to initialize the haproxy-lua-http submodule, as it will be included within the same Debian package (technically violating packaging rules by bundling libraries):

• git submodule init
• git submodule update
