Linux packages (via nFPM)¶
GoReleaser can be wired to nfpm to generate and publish .deb
, .rpm
, .apk
, and Archlinux packages.
Available options:
# .goreleaser.yaml
nfpms:
# note that this is an array of nfpm configs
- #
# ID of the nfpm config, must be unique.
#
# Default: 'default'
id: foo
# Name of the package.
# Default: ProjectName
# Templates: allowed. (since v1.18)
package_name: foo
# You can change the file name of the package.
#
# Default: '{{ .PackageName }}_{{ .Version }}_{{ .Os }}_{{ .Arch }}{{ with .Arm }}v{{ . }}{{ end }}{{ with .Mips }}_{{ . }}{{ end }}{{ if not (eq .Amd64 "v1") }}{{ .Amd64 }}{{ end }}'
# Templates: allowed.

# Build IDs for the builds you want to create NFPM packages for.
# Defaults empty, which means no filtering.

# "There are times when a file should be owned by the package but not

# might desire this to happen."
#
# "The way to achieve this, is to use the %ghost directive. By adding this

# file, but will not add it to the package."

# Using the type 'dir', empty directories can be created. When building

Info
Fields marked with "overridable" can be overridden for any format.
A note about Termux¶
Termux is the same format as deb
, the differences are:
- it uses a different
bindir
(prefixed with/data/data/com.termux/files/
) - it uses slightly different architecture names than Debian
Conventional file names, Debian, and ARMv6¶
On Debian, both ARMv6 and ARMv7 have the same architecture name: armhf
.
If you use {{.ConventionalFileName}}
, and build for both architectures, you'll get duplicated file names.
You can go around that with something like this:
# .goreleaser.yaml
nfpms:
-
# ...
file_name_template: >-
{{- trimsuffix .ConventionalFileName .ConventionalExtension -}}
{{- if and (eq .Arm "6") (eq .ConventionalExtension ".deb") }}6{{ end -}}
{{- if not (eq .Amd64 "v1")}}{{ .Amd64 }}{{ end -}}
{{- .ConventionalExtension -}}
# ...
