Debian Ubuntu Building DEB packages

The debian packaging files can be found here: packaging/debian.

Debian and Ubuntu also ships xpra packages, though their stable versions are completely out of date, broken and unsupported, they should not be used.

For general information, see building.

Build requirements

The easiest way to install the build dependencies is using the dev-env build subcommand which will honour setup arguments. ie:

./setup.py dev-env --minimal --with-openh264

(available in xpra v6.1 onwards)

Alternatively, you can install these sets yourself:

Common dependencies

To be able to run xpra, you are likely to need:

apt-get install xvfb python3-cairo python3-gi-cairo \
    python3-opengl python3-pil
X11 
apt-get install libx11-dev libxtst-dev libxcomposite-dev libxdamage-dev libxres-dev \

                libsystemd-dev \

# the executable scripts may have been mangled, so overwrite them:
cp fs/bin/* /bin/

You may also need to export SETUPTOOLS_USE_DISTUTILS=stdlib

DEB Packaging

Install the packaging tools

apt-get install devscripts build-essential lintian debhelper pandoc

Build DEBs

git clone https://github.com/Xpra-org/xpra
cd xpra
debuild -us -uc -b

This builds fresh packages from git master. You can also use other branches, tags or download a source snapshot instead.
