Launchpad itself

How do I include a wget in a source-package or reciepe?

Asked by Anders Wallenquist

I have a wget in my rules-file. This works when I localy builds binary packages with debuild -b but gives me this error when building at launchpad:

wget -q -r -A .pdf,.zip -X /pub/sourceforge/b/project/bo/bots/OldFiles --no-parent -nH --cut-dirs=6 http://ftp.heanet.ie/pub/sourceforge/b/project/bo/bots/
make: *** [build] Error 4
dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules build gave error exit status 2

I don't really understand what you want to download, but if these files are also available in svn you can make a branch import of the svn location and nest it into your build.

No, in this case its 10 to 30 zip-files with edi-grammar for the /usr/share/doc/bots/example-directory. They are uploaded at sourceforge and the package are to deliver the latest bunch.

The launchpad builders do not have access to the outside world. The can access other PPAs and the archive.

I'm not certain, but your best solution might be to instead include a post-inst script that (optionally) downloads and installs these examples instead of including them in the package itself. (or just refering to them from the docs in the package).

Thanks Michael Nelson, that solved my question.
