We're pleased to announce that Debian (and related) DSC/source packages are now fully supported!
From the Debian Wiki, a source package is one that provides you with all of the necessary files to compile or otherwise, build the desired piece of software. In other words, you can get the sources used to create a binary package, and compile them yourself; perhaps to customise the package, or build it for a different operating environment.
When uploading a DSC package, the following files are involved:
Assuming you've got these, uploading via the latest Cloudsmith CLI (0.23.0+) release is simple:
cloudsmith push deb your-org/your-repo/ubuntu/bionic my-package_1.0.0.dsc --sources-file my-package_1.0.0.debian.tar.xzThen, once it's synched (ready for download), you can grab and build the package yourself with:
apt-get --build source my-package=1.0.0We’re delighted to announce that Cloudsmith now supports Conan! Conan is an open-source package manager for C/C++, including everything from its client to server implementation and even documentation. You can read all about Conan and how to get started over on our blog. If you would prefer a demo be sure to check out our 5 minutes Conan over on Yo…
We're pleased to announce the general availability for universal tagging of packages! Why should you care? Tags, which are little snippets of keywords that you can attach to packages, are an excellent way of organising your packages for different reasons. You can now manage and search for tags via the API, the CLI and the UI, which makes managemen…
Did you know that we have support for custom domains, for any package format? Whether you're a vendor, selling and distributing software to your customers, or you're a security-conscious DevOps team, looking to control the source endpoint for artifacts; either way, with custom domains you can present your brand when distributing from Cloudsmith…
Introducing fully-semantic version searching for packages; via the UI, API, CLI and entitlement tokens. With semantic versions, Cloudsmith understands the difference between versions, in terms of how a version is represented. For example, we know that 10.2.0 is MAJOR version 10, MINOR version 2 and PATCH version 0 and that 10.2.0 is a higher versi…
We are very pleased to announce that upstream proxying and caching for the Maven package format is now available! Proxying allows requests for packages not found within your Cloudsmith repository to be directed to another location. Maven Central has been supported as a proxy location for a while now on Cloudsmith - but from today, you can now spec…
In order to streamline things for exciting changes coming up, we've restyled the package detail and package list pages. If you've got a keen eye, you'll also notice that the tags have been restyled too and that there's an extra sneaky edit tags button on the package detail page at the top-right. More details to follow next week!…
