2020.2-1 packages available for Debian, Raspbian

[pocock]

I've made updated packages available for Debian and Raspbian.

The instructions for installing them are the same as what I described in this thread for the previous version of the packages

With this release, I haven't created packages for Debian 9 (stretch) as it is no longer supported by Debian and also because the latest Domoticz code really prefers the tools and dependencies from Debian 10 (buster) or later.

On the other hand, I made packages for two more CPU architectures, ppc64el and arm64 as well as updating the packages for amd64, i386 and armhf.

ppc64el has been tested on my Talos II workstation, please see this blog for some details. Talos II offers a completely open architecture, without the Intel and AMD backdoors. My Zigate stick was also tested on the USB port of the Talos II.

arm64 has been built but I don't have arm64 hardware to test it on.

If you already installed the packages and you are on Debian or Raspbian buster, you can get the new version with

Code: Select all

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

If you did not install the previous packages, please follow the step by step instructions on my blog or if you are really keen, you can just do this:

Code: Select all

wget -O - http://apt.debify.org/add-apt-debify | bash
sudo apt update
sudo apt install domoticz-zigate-plugin jennic-module-programmer

Hello.

I've installed your package and found 2 problems. First one:

When you haven't installed domoticz-zigate-plugin, domoticz won't run as systemd service. The problem is at /lib/systemd/system/domoticz.service, where there are two ReadWriteDirectories entries that don't let systemd domoticz service start because they point to non-existent directories:

Code: Select all

ReadWriteDirectories=/usr/lib/domoticz/plugins/Domoticz-Zigate
ReadWriteDirectories=/etc/domoticz/plugins/Domoticz-Zigate

2nd problem:

You can't use dzVents scripts edited from within domoticz web UI (probably neither other type of scripts) because they are to be saved at /usr/lib/domoticz/scripts/dzVents/generated_scripts, where domoticz user doesn't have write permission. In addition, additional ReadWriteDirectories entry is needed for this directory.

... and that's all. Thank you for packaging domoticz !!!
