Install all dependencies - chicken-scheme

As I'm developing my module (r7rs "library"), I want to be able to list my dependencies (everything that needs to be installed by chicken-install) in some kind of file, and do something like chicken-install . Like in python: pip install or Clojure lein deps. Is there anything like this in Chicken Scheme?

I got help in the #chicken IRC channel.
It seems that the answer is to
create an egg definition which contains the dependencies
install the egg with chicken-install while in the directory of the definition. This will install all the listed dependencies along with your egg.
Then, to run in the interpreter, you can load the main scheme file.

Trying to Avoid Using Two Package Managers (pip and Poetry) for the Same Project

After a fair bit of thrashing, I successfully installed the Python Camelot PDF table extraction tool (https://pypi.org/project/camelot-py/) and it works for the intended purpose. But in order to get it to work, aside from having to correct a deprecated dependency (by editing pyproject.toml and setting PyPDF2 =”2.12.1”) I used pip to install Camelot from within a Poetry (my preferred package manager) environment- because I haven’t yet figured out any other way.
Since I’m very new to Python and package management (but not to programming) I have some holes in my basic understanding that I need to patch up. I thought that using two package managers on the same project in principle defeats the purpose of using package managers, so I feel like I’m lucky that it works. Would love some input on what I’m missing.
The documentation for Camelot provides instructions for installing via pip and conda (https://camelot-py.readthedocs.io/en/master/user/install-deps.html), but not Poetry. As I understand (or misunderstand) it, packages are added to Poetry environments via the pyproject.toml file and then calling "poetry install."
I updated pyrpoject.toml as follows, having identified the current Camelot version as 0.10.1 (camelot --version):
[tool.poetry.dependencies]
python = "^3.8"
PyPDF2 = "2.12.1"
camelot = "^0.9.0"
This led to the error:
Because camelot3 depends on camelot (^0.9.0) which doesn't match any versions, version solving failed.
Same problem if I set (camelot = "0.10.1"). So I took the Camelot reference out of pyproject.toml, and ran the following command from within my Poetry virtual environment:
pip install “camelot-py[base]”
I was able to successfully proceed from here, but that doesn’t feel right. Is it wrong to try to force this project into Poetry, and should I instead consider using different package managers for different projects? Am I misunderstanding how Poetry works? What else am I missing here?
Whenever you see pip install 'Something[extra]' you can replace it with poetry add 'Something[extra]'.
Alternatively you can write it directly in the pyproject.toml and then run poetry install instead:
[tool.poetry.dependencies]
# ...
Something = { extras = ["extra"] }
Note that in your question you wrote camelot in the pyproject.toml but it is camelot-py that you should have written.

Debian package project

In school we had to choose a project in shell script. I have choose the 17th which is about listing Debian packages and solve some tasks with it but in school we didn't get any good advice or anything like that to start it and I would like to ask for some ideas how could I do it or even start it.
Some details about the project:
List of Debian packages:
Under Debian, ask which packages are installed on the machine, enter the names of these packages in a formatted format, and the program will also write which programs a particular package depends on.
For example.
nparted: libc6, libnewt0, libparted1.4, libuuid1
nano: libc6, libncurses5
I successfully did the package listing, but I don't know how could I move forward.
apt-cache depends <package> shows the dependencies (Depends, Recommends and Suggests) of a package.
Alternatively, apt show <package> writes the control file of a package.
The two commands have different output formats, so you can pick one that you find easier to parse.

Installing Julia packages using a .toml file?

I am totally new to Julia!
I would like to install a large number of packages for a project I'm joining.
The project comes with a "Project.toml" file
It seems like there should be a nice way to install all the packages I need for the project, perhaps using the Project.toml file
However, I have not yet found any site that indicates how I might be able to do this.
Could anyone please let me know if what I am doing is possible, and if so, point me to a reference that would show how?
If your Project.toml is located in a folder, like myproject/Project.toml, you can simply start Julia with julia --project=/path/to/myproject, and it will automatically detect the Project.toml file in myproject.
The first time you activate this project, in the REPL, you can switch to Pkg mode by typing ], and type the command instantiate. This will cause the package manager to download and install all of the packages listed in Project.toml and their dependencies.
Another way to switch between projects during interactive use is to run activate /path/to/myproject in Pkg-mode in the REPL.
How to install julia packages from a Project.toml
First, you will have navigate to the folder containing your Project.toml.
cd ../your-folder-containing-the-project.toml-file
in your terminal:
julia --project=.
]
instantiate
or
julia --project=. -e 'using Pkg; Pkg.instantiate()
The other answers went already to the point, but I want to add another important aspect.
If this project comes "only" with a Project.toml file, you will be able to install "sone version" of these packages, eventualy the Project.toml may also give you a range of versions known to work with the project you have been given.
But if this project comes also with a Manifest.toml file you will be able to recreate on your pc the exact environment, will all the exact versions of all dependent packages recursivelly, of the guy that passed you the project, using the ways desctibed in detail in the other answers (e.g. ] activate [folder]; instantiate).

using omnibus build tool to package a full app

So I am tasked with packaging a Ruby application. The idea is to eliminate the need to apt-get any packages or gem install anything. the package is all-inclusive.
I've gotten as far as finding Omnibus (there is also fmp-cookery but it doesnt seem to be as well known)
I've figured out the general structure of omnibus projects but now getting problems with specifics:
1) I have a bunch of recipies that run with Chef AT INSTALL TIME. These setup the DB and nginx configs. Whats the best way to run through these on target machine?
2) I added a bundle install line in my build scripts, but this now dubplicates my requirements. For example nokogiri gets installed twice. Once as my actual project Gem and another time as another requirement of omnibus. So then I end up with 2 binaries one in /#{instal_dir}/embedded/bin and one in ${install_dir}/embedded/lib/ruby/.../gems any way to prevent this?
Building an installer is bit more involved than creating a chef cookbook.
User needs to write a DSL for each module (this has instructions on gathering the artifacts and installing it on specific OS).
After creating the omnibus project, refer to the README file to get started with basics.
Refer to this github project for details on how to build your own DSLs. Gitlab omnibus project has DSLs for some modules like postgresql etc.
https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/omnibus-gitlab/tree/master
Example DSL for embedding nginx module in your installer looks like this:
name "nginx"
default_version "1.9.10"
dependency "pcre"
dependency "openssl"
source url: "http://nginx.org/download/nginx-#{version}.tar.gz",
md5: "64cc970988356a5e0fc4fcd1ab84fe57"
relative_path "nginx-#{version}"
build do
command ["./configure",
"--prefix=#{install_dir}/embedded",
"--with-http_ssl_module",
"--with-http_stub_status_module",
"--with-http_gzip_static_module",
"--with-http_v2_module",
"--with-ipv6",
"--with-debug",
"--with-ld-opt=-L#{install_dir}/embedded/lib",
"--with-cc-opt=\"-L#{install_dir}/embedded/lib -I#{install_dir}/embedded/include\""].join(" ")
command "make -j #{workers}", :env => {"LD_RUN_PATH" => "#{install_dir}/embedded/lib"}
command "make install"
end

Packaging Go application for Debian

How can I put my Go binary into a Debian package? Since Go is statically linked, I just have a single executable--I don't need a lot of complicated project metadata information. Is there a simple way to package the executable and resource files without going through the trauma of debuild?
I've looked all over for existing questions; however, all of my research turns up questions/answers about a .deb file containing the golang development environment (i.e., what you would get if you do sudo apt-get install golang-go).
Well. I think the only "trauma" of debuild is that it runs lintian after building the package, and it's lintian who tries to spot problems with your package.
So there are two ways to combat the situation:
Do not use debuild: this tool merely calls dpkg-buildpackage which really does the necessary powerlifting. The usual call to build a binary package is dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -b. You still might call debuild for other purposes, like debuild clean for instance.
Add the so-called "lintian override" which can be used to make lintian turn a blind eye to selected problems with your package which, you insist, are not problems.
Both approaches imply that you do not attempt to build your application by the packaging tools but rather treat it as a blob which is just wrapped to a package. This would require slightly abstraining from the normal way debian/rules work (to not attempt to build anything).
Another solution which might be possible (and is really way more Debian-ish) is to try to use gcc-go (plus gold for linking): since it's a GCC front-end, this tool produces a dynamically-linked application (which links against libgo or something like this). I, personally, have no experience with it yet, and would only consider using it if you intend to try to push your package into the Debian proper.
Regarding the general question of packaging Go programs for Debian, you might find the following resources useful:
This thread started on go-nuts by one of Go for Debian packagers.
In particular, the first post in that thread links to this discussion on debian-devel.
The second thread on debian-devel regarding that same problem (it's a logical continuation of the former thread).
Update on 2015-10-15.
(Since this post appears to still be searched and found and studied by people I've decided to update it to better reflec the current state of affairs.)
Since then the situation with packaging Go apps and packages got improved dramatically, and it's possible to build a Debian package using "classic" Go (the so-called gc suite originating from Google) rather than gcc-go.
And there exist a good infrastructure for packages as well.
The key tool to use when debianizing a Go program now is dh-golang described here.
I've just been looking into this myself, and I'm basically there.
Synopsis
By 'borrowing' from the 'package' branch from one of Canonical's existing Go projects, you can build your package with dpkg-buildpackage.
install dependencies and grab a 'package' branch from another repo.
# I think this list of packages is enough. May need dpkg-dev aswell.
sudo apt-get install bzr debhelper build-essential golang-go
bzr branch lp:~niemeyer/cobzr/package mypackage-build
cd mypackage-build
Edit the metadata.
edit debian/control file (name, version, source). You may need to change the golang-stable dependency to golang-go.
The debian/control file is the manifest. Note the 'build dependencies' (Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 7.0.50~), golang-stable) and the 3 architectures. Using Ubuntu (without the gophers ppa), I had to change golang-stable to golang-go.
edit debian/rules file (put your package name in place of cobzr).
The debian/rules file is basically a 'make' file, and it shows how the package is built. In this case they are relying heavily on debhelper. Here they set up GOPATH, and invoke 'go install'.
Here's the magic 'go install' line:
cd $(GOPATH)/src && find * -name '*.go' -exec dirname {} \; | xargs -n1 go install
Also update the copyright file, readme, licence, etc.
Put your source inside the src folder. e.g.
git clone https://github.com/yourgithubusername/yourpackagename src/github.com/yourgithubusername/yourpackagename
or e.g.2
cp .../yourpackage/ src/
build the package
# -us -uc skips package signing.
dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc
This should produce a binary .deb file for your architecture, plus the 'source deb' (.tgz) and the source deb description file (.dsc).
More details
So, I realised that Canonical (the Ubuntu people) are using Go, and building .deb packages for some of their Go projects. Ubuntu is based on Debian, so for the most part the same approach should apply to both distributions (dependency names may vary slightly).
You'll find a few Go-based packages in Ubuntu's Launchpad repositories. So far I've found cobzr (git-style branching for bzr) and juju-core (a devops project, being ported from Python).
Both of these projects have both a 'trunk' and a 'package' branch, and you can see the debian/ folder inside the package branch. The 2 most important files here are debian/control and debian/rules - I have linked to 'browse source'.
Finally
Something I haven't covered is cross-compiling your package (to the other 2 architectures of the 3, 386/arm/amd64). Cross-compiling isn't too tricky in go (you need to build the toolchain for each target platform, and then set some ENV vars during 'go build'), and I've been working on a cross-compiler utility myself. Eventually I'll hopefully add .deb support into my utility, but first I need to crystallize this task.
Good luck. If you make any progress then please update my answer or add a comment. Thanks
Building deb or rpm packages from Go Applications is also very easy with fpm.
Grab it from rubygems:
gem install fpm
After building you binary, e.g. foobar, you can package it like this:
fpm -s dir -t deb -n foobar -v 0.0.1 foobar=/usr/bin/
fpm supports all sorts of advanced packaging options.
There is an official Debian policy document describing the packaging procedure for Go: https://go-team.pages.debian.net/packaging.html
For libraries: Use dh-make-golang to create a package skeleton. Name your package with a name derived from import path, with a -dev suffix, e.g. golang-github-lib-pq-dev. Specify the dependencies ont Depends: line. (These are source dependencies for building, not binary dependencies for running, since Go statically links all source.)
Installing the library package will install its source code to /usr/share/golang/src (possibly, the compiled libraries could go into .../pkg). Building depending Go packages will use the artifacts from those system-wide locations.
For executables: Use dh-golang to create the package. Specify dependencies in Build-Depends: line (see above regarding packaging the dependencies).
I recently discovered https://packager.io/ - I'm quite happy with what they're doing. Maybe open up one of the packages to see what they're doing?
