Packaging binaries / ports
100%
Description
Create packages for NFD and related software for macports, ubuntu, and maybe some other platforms (CentOS?).
The existing definitions for some NDN software for macports is here: https://github.com/named-data/macports
git-based packaging repositories for Ubuntu are combined in https://github.com/cawka/packaging-ndn-platform
Figure out a way to update all the packages to latest (latest stable) versions.
This update should be done by a script.
Currently, all packages needs to be updated manually and this process is slow and error-prone.

I've created a framework that will simplify maintenance of NDN packages: https://github.com/cawka/ppa-packaging
ndn-cxx library is already packages and is in process of being build by PPA build bots. Will continue working on NFD packaging.

I have finished binary for Ubuntu's. I have submitted packages for build to PPA and they should be ready some time tomorrow (I hope, for some reason process was slow). It is possible to build packages manually as well and I did basic tests on Ubuntu 12.04 (haven't tested on other Ubuntu's, but it should work...).
Please test. Until packages are building at PPA, you can use the following to build binary packages for ndn-cxx and NFD on ubuntu (process may fail because of broken gpg sign, but I think package will be build before the error):
git clone https://github.com/cawka/ppa-packaging
cd ppa-packaging
make build DISTROS=precise DEBUILD=debuild
.deb files will be in ndn-cxx/work/ and NFD/work/

Hmm. Just checked again (on 14.04, but I think it applies to others as well). nfd and nrd start after installing, but they do not start automatically after the reboot.
I tried a couple of tricks (started on parameter of upstart scripts), but cannot yet figure out the correct setting that makes sure that NFD starts after networking is setup...

Just to follow up. I kind of find a way to "fix" the problem.
The problem is that network interface can come up at random time during or after boot. I remember we talked about this before and decided that we need something to tell NFD when this happens. With upstart it is possible to detect such events, but the only thing I can do right now is to restart nfd/nrd. Would this be a reasonable solution for now? I checked and it works on 14.04, minus the fact that NFD is getting restarted.

nfd.upstart has a dependency on network-services. This should be correct.
Updated by Alex Afanasyev almost 10 years ago
it does not work. there is no such upstart event as network services.
Updated by Junxiao Shi almost 10 years ago
What about
start on started networking
Updated by Alex Afanasyev almost 10 years ago
I have tried that. This event allows NFD to start, but it is emitted before any interfaces are actually up. As a result, there are no multicast UDP or ethernet faces created.
The "fix" is based on this http://web.dodds.net/~vorlon/wiki/blog/Network_services_and_Upstart/
Until we have a mechanism to re-scan interfaces, I think the only option is to restart nfd.

PPA packages are ready to use. Junxia, can you check before I send an announcement email to ndn-dev@ mailing list. (PPA instructions: http://named-data.net/doc/NFD/current/FAQ.html#how-to-start-using-ndn-ppa-repository-on-ubuntu-linux)
Update: Just found a small bug with upstart that failed nfd. Will do the fix and will resubmit packages.

Yep. I got the same error... This problem is because of just one wrong line in /etc/init/nfd-restart.conf (if you delete it, subsequent run of apt-get install will succeed).
I already submitted a fix and now again waiting time.
Just in case. I also have created packages for ndn-tlv-ping and ndn-traffic-generator (for both I didn't do anything for the server part).

I also double checked with my VMware images on 12.04 and 14.04. On both, installation based on the most recent FAQ succeeded, both daemons started and automatically started after the reboot.
