h1. 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 [[Building|here]] Different distributions will have different package formats, however TVHeadend comes with scripts to help build several common ones. h2. 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 <pre> $ ./Autobuild.sh -t precise-i386 </pre> > x86 64-bit <pre> $ ./Autobuild.sh -t precise-amd64 </pre> 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). Note: the -dbg package contains debug symbols, generally you won't need these. h3. Configure Options You can also pass specific configuration options to the configure script by setting the _AUTOBUILD_CONFIGURE_EXTRA_ environment variable. <pre> $ AUTOBUILD_CONFIGURE_EXTRA=--enable-bundle ./Autobuild.sh -t precise-amd64 </pre> h2. Redhat/CentOS/Fedora TODO: add info on building an RPM h2. Gentoo tvheadend is now available in portage so you can just install it like you usually do with other applications: <pre> $ emerge -av media-tv/tvheadend </pre> h2. ArchLinux If you'd like to build the latest git master for Arch, then you can issue the following commands: <pre> $ yaourt -S tvheadend-git $ systemctl enable tvheadend $ systemctl start tvheadend </pre> h2.
