0.2.0

September 21, 2016
  • Changed
    • Minor formatting changes, updates to README

0.1.15

July 7, 2016
  • Added
    • Allows the default Debian dependencies in the control file to be overridden

0.1.14

June 16, 2016
  • Added
    • The dropped commit that fixed node_modules install step mentioned in release notes from 0.1.13

0.1.13

June 16, 2016
  • BREAKING
    • The executable template now by default includes the bash variable $@ as arguments to the start_command. This is breaking in the sense that is a user set their start_command to something like node my-exe-thing $@, then this change will pass the arguments twice.
    • The build step now forces the usage of fakeroot while creating the package to avoid uid and gid collisions between the environment where a package is built and where it is deployed.
  • Fixed
    • deb packages that did not include node_modules did not do an npm install when installed with dpkg or apt. The postinst now conditionally installs based on the existence of node_modules.
  • Added
    • Template and command line args for default environment variables. Template is empty for now.

0.1.12

June 6, 2016
  • Fixed
    • node-deb no longer produces jq errors about missing package.json when run outside a project directory
  • Added
    • Command line option --start-command to allow setting of the start command from the command line

0.1.11

April 21, 2016
  • BREAKING
    • Reverting the change from 0.1.9 where node-deb did not include the node_modules directory. Now the default behavior is to include this directory and warn when it is not included on the command line.
  • Added
    • Less tolerance for shell script failures both in node-deb itself and all templates
    • postinst template now runs npm rebuild to recompile platform specific binaries
      • This combined with the forced inclusion of node_modules and npm-shrinkwrap.json aims to make packages and builds as reproducible as possible.

0.1.10

March 9, 2016
  • Changed
    • postinst now runs npm install with the --production option

0.1.9

March 8, 2016
  • BREAKING
    • node-deb will no longer include the node_modules directory, but instead will run npm install during the postinst step in the install directory. Thus, if package.json exists, it will be auto included in the .deb.
  • Added
    • Better script logging
    • package.json and npm-shrinkwrap.json are included by default, and warning messages are displayed if they aren't included
    • If node_deb.start_command is not present in package.json, default to using scripts.start

0.1.8

March 1, 2016
  • Changed
    • Using MIT license over GPL license
    • Slightly faster copying of files
    • Slightly faster md5sum calculations
    • Support using gmd5sum for packages built on OSX (with brew install gmd5sum)

0.1.7

November 19, 2015
  • Changed

October 31, 2015

    • Allow the selections of systemd and upstart to the --init flag

0.1.5

October 27, 2015
  • BREAKING
    • Moved installed files to /usr/share/$package_name/app/ instead of /usr/share/$package_name/ to avoid name conflicts if a user has a directory in their project called bin
  • Added
    • Command line option to list and print available templates
    • Command line options to override default templates: --template-{control, executable, postinst, postrm, prerm, systemd-service, upstart-conf}
  • Changed
    • The executable's start command now defaults to node_deb.start_command in the package.json

0.1.4

October 26, 2015
  • Added
    • Command line flags for:
      • -d | --description: Debian package description
      • -e | --executable-name: the name of the runnable file
      • -h | --help: print help/usage message
      • -i | --init: select init type (auto, none)
      • -m | --maintainer: Debian package maintainer
