The stale code a default install/upgrade got was a TAG LEAK: deb.yml/rpm.yml shared
`tags: ['v*']` with the Apple-client release.yml, so the v0.1.0/v0.1.1 tags cut to ship
the macOS app ALSO published host packages versioned 0.1.1 — which outranks every rolling
0.0.1~ciN / 0.0.1-0.ciN build in both registries (dpkg/rpm version compares confirm), so
`apt install`/`rpm-ostree install` silently fetched ~99-commits-stale code while the READMEs
claimed auto-tracking. Two fixes:
- Decouple host publishing from Apple `v*` tags: deb.yml/rpm.yml now trigger on `host-v*`
only, so a client tag can never poison the host channel again.
- Bump the rolling base 0.0.1 -> 0.2.0 (deb `0.2.0~ciN`, rpm `0.2.0-0.ciN`): sits ABOVE the
stray 0.1.1 yet BELOW a future 0.2.0 tag, and still climbs monotonically by run number — so
`apt upgrade`/`rpm-ostree upgrade` genuinely move forward. Spec default + build scripts +
PKGBUILD pkgver bumped to match.
Build provenance (so a stale/shadowed host is detectable): build.rs stamps PUNKTFUNK_BUILD_VERSION
(set by CI = the full package version, e.g. 0.2.0~ci120.g802e98d; falls back to the crate version
for a plain `cargo build`) into the binary via rustc-env. Surfaced in `punktfunk-host --version`,
the startup log, and the mgmt /health + /host `version` field (was a hardcoded CARGO_PKG_VERSION).
Deliberately env-driven, not git-derived — the RPM builds from a git-archive tarball with no .git.
Version computed BEFORE the build in deb.yml; the spec %build exports it from %{version}-%{release}
(and gains --locked for reproducibility parity with the .deb path). Validated: plain build reports
0.0.1, env-stamped build reports 0.2.0~ci999.gdeadbee.

punktfunk-host — Debian/Ubuntu package (apt)
punktfunk-host is published as a .deb to Gitea's Debian package registry in the public
unom org, so the Ubuntu hosts update with plain apt. CI (.gitea/workflows/deb.yml) builds
and publishes on every push to main (a rolling 0.0.1~ciN.<sha> build) and on v* tags
(a clean X.Y.Z).
Package layout mirrors the Fedora RPM (../rpm/punktfunk.spec): the host binary, the /dev/uinput
udev rule, the systemd user unit, headless session helpers, the example config, and the OpenAPI
doc. Runtime Depends are computed by dpkg-shlibdeps from the binary itself (built in the Ubuntu
26.04 rust-ci image, so the lib soname package names match the target). The NVIDIA driver
(libnvidia-encode / libEGL_nvidia / libcuda) is not a dependency — it's installed out of
band, like on the RPM side.
Install on a host (one-time)
The registry is public, so no apt auth is needed — just trust the repo's signing key:
sudo install -d -m 0755 /etc/apt/keyrings
curl -fsSL https://git.unom.io/api/packages/unom/debian/repository.key \
| sudo tee /etc/apt/keyrings/punktfunk.asc >/dev/null
echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/punktfunk.asc] https://git.unom.io/api/packages/unom/debian stable main" \
| sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/punktfunk.list
sudo apt update
sudo apt install punktfunk-host
Then, as the desktop user:
sudo usermod -aG input "$USER" # virtual gamepads (re-login to take effect)
mkdir -p ~/.config/punktfunk
cp /usr/share/punktfunk-host/host.env.example ~/.config/punktfunk/host.env # then edit
systemctl --user enable --now punktfunk-host
Updates
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade # picks up the newest published build
systemctl --user restart punktfunk-host # if the unit was already running
Build a .deb locally
VERSION=0.0.1 bash packaging/debian/build-deb.sh # -> dist/punktfunk-host_0.0.1_amd64.deb
Needs dpkg-dev (dpkg-shlibdeps, dpkg-deb). It builds the release binary first if missing.
Build it in the rust-ci image (or on an Ubuntu 26.04 box) so the resolved Depends match the
hosts; building on a GPU box is fine — the NVIDIA driver lib is filtered out either way.
