## Deliverables

This repo contains the template files used to build the following **DEB** packages:


> _note:_ `XXX` is the first `.` delimited field in the driver version, ex: `460` in `460.32.03`

```shell
- cuda-drivers-fabricmanager
- cuda-drivers-fabricmanager-XXX
- nvidia-fabricmanager-XXX
- nvidia-fabricmanager-dev-XXX

> ex: cuda-drivers-fabricmanager_460.32.03-1_amd64.deb
      cuda-drivers-fabricmanager-460_460.32.03-1_amd64.deb
      nvidia-fabricmanager-460_460.32.03-1_amd64.deb
      nvidia-fabricmanager-dev-460_460.32.03-1_amd64.deb
```


## Installation

* **Debian**

  ```shell
  apt-get install cuda-drivers-fabricmanager-XXX
  ```

* **Ubuntu**

  ```shell
  apt-get install cuda-drivers-fabricmanager-XXX
  ```


## Prerequisites

### Clone this git repository:

Supported branches: `main`

```shell
git clone https://github.com/NVIDIA/apt-packaging-fabric-manager
```

### Download a NVIDIA fabricmanager tarball:

* https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/redist/fabricmanager/

  *ex:* fabricmanager-linux-x86_64-460.32.03.tar.gz

### Install build dependencies
> *note:* these are only needed for building not installation

```shell
# Packaging
apt-get install debhelper devscripts dpkg-dev
```

## Building Manually

### Parse JSON to retrieve download URL
```shell
baseURL="https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/redist"
curl -s $baseURL/redistrib_460.32.03.json | \
jq -r '."fabricmanager" | ."460.32.03" | ."linux-x86_64"' | \
sed "s|^|$baseURL/|"
```

### Create a temp directory
```shell
cd apt-packaging-fabric-manager
mkdir build
rsync -a debian build/
```

### Extract tarball
```shell
tar -C build/ -xf fabricmanager*.tar.gz
cd build
mv fabricmanager/* $PWD
rmdir fabricmanager
```

### Fill variables
```shell
make -f debian/rules fill_templates VERSION=460.32.03 BRANCH=460 DEB_HOST_ARCH=amd64
```
> _note:_ branch is the first `.` delimited field in the driver version, ex: `460` in `460.32.03`

### Generate .deb packages
```shell
DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nostrip DEB_HOST_ARCH=amd64 \
dpkg-buildpackage -b
cd ..
ls *.deb
```
