Build APT packages¶
If you wish to build your own Debian/Ubuntu (dpkg) packages of Percona Server for MySQL, you first need to start with a source tarball, either from the Percona website or by generating your own by following the instructions above (Installing Percona Server for MySQL from the Git Source Tree).
Extract the source tarball:
$ tar xfz Percona-Server-8.4.2-2-Linux.x86_64.ssl102.tar.gz
$ cd Percona-Server-8.4.2-2
Copy the Debian packaging in the directory that Debian expects it to be in:
$ cp -ap build-ps/debian debian
Update the changelog for your distribution (here we update for the unstable distribution - sid), setting the version number appropriately. The trailing one in the version number is the revision of the Debian packaging.
$ dch -D unstable --force-distribution -v "8.0.13-3-1" "Update to 8.0.13-3"
Build the Debian source package:
$ dpkg-buildpackage -S
Use sbuild to build the binary package in a chroot:
$ sbuild -d sid percona-server-8.4_8.4.2-2.dsc
You can give different distribution options to dch and sbuild to build binary
packages for all Debian and Ubuntu releases.
Note
PAM Authentication Plugin is not built with the server by default. In order to build the Percona Server for MySQL with PAM plugin, an additional option -DWITH_PAM=ON should be used.
