deb: use non-interactive, and no-install-recommends - #149
Merged
Conversation
The devscripts package on newer Ubuntu/Debian versions adds a HUGE amount of new dependencies. Unfortunately we need this package as it's the only package that provides `mk-build-deps`, but we don't have to install all recommended packages: On Ubuntu 20.04, without `--no-install-recommends`: 4 upgraded, 334 newly installed, 0 to remove and 4 not upgraded. Need to get 100 MB of archives. After this operation, 445 MB of additional disk space will be used. And with `--no-install-recommends`; 0 upgraded, 104 newly installed, 0 to remove and 8 not upgraded. Need to get 25.0 MB of archives. After this operation, 119 MB of additional disk space will be used. This patch also sets `DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive`, to prevent build hanging if a package (such as `tzdata`) waits for user input otherwise. Signed-off-by: Sebastiaan van Stijn <github@gone.nl>
This patch removes the apt-cache after installing packages, and refreshes (`apt-get update`) before installing dependencies using `mk-build-deps` to prevent using a possibly stale index when dependencies in the control file change. Signed-off-by: Sebastiaan van Stijn <github@gone.nl>
