Sharing Debian Package Release for Vanetza version v25.06

[jerry73204]

Dear all Vanetza maintainers,

I'm glad to share my Debian package release built for Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. You can see the download page below.
https://github.com/jerry73204/vanetza-makedeb/releases/tag/v25.06-1

The package was built using makedeb's PKGBUILD, a simple and easily maintainable packaging script for Debian/Ubuntu systems. I'm looking forward to see if it can be official releases in the future.

I think it would be a good feature to provide Debian packages for common architectures (amd64, arm64, armhf...) for each release. As a team, we're creating Debian packages of Vanetza to maintain our dependency tree easily for different builds. This decreases time spent on working on different machines.

My suggestion would be to use CPack instead of your script. CPack is a built-in CMake feature to create packages of project and it uses some statements (i.e. install()) in CMakeLists.txt to generate package configuration. Other configurations are set using CPACK_<> definitions.

Yet, I'm not sure if @riebl would want a packaging feature since Vanetza is generally used as a development dependency.

Cool stuff @jerry73204, thanks for your efforts!

I agree with @buraksenkus that it would be nice to have the packaging in the upstream repository. If CPack is a better option needs to be checked, e.g. because it could be used create packages for other distros too.

Furthermore, I have a bitbake recipe for packaging Vanetza on Yocto (and sibling systems). Maybe I can put it here as well…
