Packaging

To be able to install TVHeadend permanently on your system, or distribute to others, its highly recommend that you build a package.

But before you can do this make sure you have read the basic build instructions here

Different distributions will have different package formats, however TVHeadend comes with scripts to help build several common ones.

Ubuntu / Debian

To build a deb package for the latest version of Ubuntu (Precise, at the time of writing) you can do the following:

x86 32-bit

$ ./AutoBuild.sh -t precise-i386

x86 64-bit

$ ./AutoBuild.sh -t precise-amd64

Note: Although the scripts are named precise (for Ubuntu 12.04) they will work just fine with most recent versions of Debian/Ubuntu.

Note: the generated deb will be in the directory above that containing Autobuild.sh (i.e. outside of the tvheadend directory).

Redhat/CentOS/Fedora

TODO: add info on building an RPM

Gentoo

TODO: add info on build ebuild.
