Quickstart:

$ cd .. && git clone https://github.com/apache/couchdb
$ cd couchdb-pkg && make build-couch $(lsb_release -cs) PLATFORM=$(lsb_release -cs)

1. Linux running Docker
2. The current user must be capable of running docker run.
3. Enough free disk space to download all of the Docker images + build CouchDB.

You can either build packages from a local CouchDB dist tarball (the output of make dist), or from a URL of a published CouchDB dist tarball (such as the ones on https://couchdb.apache.org/). The package's version number will be derived from the filename of the CouchDB dist tarball.

Run:

$ ./make-packages path/to/apache-couchdb-VERSION.tar.gz

or

$ ./make-packages http://url/to/apache-couchdb-VERSION.tar.gz

Packages will be placed in the pkgs/ subdirectory.

1. Ubuntu 16.04
2. sudo apt install snapd snapcraft

1. Edit snap/snapcraft.yaml to point to the correct tag (e.g. 2.1.0)
2. snapcraft
