Gphoto2 and libGphoto2 compiler and installer script http://github.com/gonzalo/gphoto2-updater

This script allows to install last development and last stable (2.5.10) releases of gphoto2 and libGphoto2 based on git repositories

This script was initially created for Raspbian http://www.raspbian.org and Raspberry Pi http://www.raspberrypi.org but it is also tested for Ubuntu 14.04 and Debian Jessie and Wheezy.

Special thanks to @scribblemaniac for his support on this project.

To download and compile last script version just be sure you are connected to the Internet and run:

$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gonzalo/gphoto2-updater/master/gphoto2-updater.sh && chmod +x gphoto2-updater.sh && sudo ./gphoto2-updater.sh

Then select between stable and development version

Check releases https://github.com/gonzalo/gphoto2-updater/releases

In order to test pull requests without touching my OS, I'm using customized Docker images of ubuntu 14.04, debian 7 and debian 8 and raspbian to automatically download and execute that new git branches. Here you can find a complete blog post explaining the thing (in spanish).

The main advantage is that everytime you will need it, you will have an updated and clean OS image just with git installed. After every execution the container is destroyed so changes dissappear.

The quick way to create a customized ubuntu 14.04 container:

1.- Install docker (sudo apt-get install docker)

2.- Move to a new folder and create a file named "Dockerfile" with this contents to define your customized container.

FROM ubuntu:14.04
RUN apt-get -y update && apt-get install -y git
COPY ./test-script.sh /

3.- Create a file named test-script.sh to store the script that docker builder will copy to image to download and execute the desired Git branch.

#!/usr/bin/env bash
git clone $1
cd gphoto2-updater
./gphoto2-updater.sh

4.- Now build your customized image (it will remain stored in your local system)

docker build -t ubuntu-14.04-git .

5.- Done!

Now you can test a Git branch everytime you need it over an clean ubuntu 14.04 container just running:

docker run --rm -ti ubuntu-14.04-git /test-script.sh [http-url-of-git-branch]

Docker will init a fresh ubuntu 14.04 container, clone the git branch of the gphoto and run the gphoto2-updater script. After execution, the rm flag destroys the container.

Similar actions can be done to generate customized debian 7 and debian 8 images. In fact I've created a script to test gphoto2-updater just as follows:

./test-os.sh [customized-image] [url-to-git-branch]

Example:

./test-os.sh ubuntu-14.04-git https://github.com/gonzalo/gphoto2-updater.git
