What changed
Adds Linux packaging for the DroidCam OBS plugin by repackaging the official
Linux release zip:
.github/workflows/build-linux-packages.yml) thatruns when a release is published (or manually, with a version input),
downloads the official
droidcam_obs_<version>_linux_x86_64.zipfrom therelease assets, and attaches two artifacts to the release:
droidcam-obs_<version>_amd64.deb: installs the plugin into the systemOBS plugin directories (binary in
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/obs-plugins,data in
/usr/share/obs/obs-plugins/droidcam-obs), with minimal stabledependencies (
obs-studio >= 30.0,libstdc++6).droidcam-obs-<version>-linux-x86_64.tar.xz: mirrors the zip layout plusinstall.sh,README.TXTandLICENSE.packaging/build-linux.shandpackaging/debian/metadata.packaging/README.mddocumenting the flow.Why
Linux users currently get a zip they unpack by hand. A
.debgives Debian andUbuntu users native installation, and the
.tar.xzfollows common packagingconventions. Repackaging the official binary (instead of compiling from
source) keeps the workflow robust across releases: no library package name
pinning, no linker flags, and the artifact is exactly what the maintainers
tested. If the zip is renamed or dropped, the workflow fails loudly at the
download step.
Impact
Debian/Ubuntu users can install with
sudo apt install ./droidcam-obs_*.deb.There is no change to the plugin itself.
Validation
.deband
.tar.xz..debon Ubuntu 24.04 with OBS 32.2 and confirmed OBS loadsthe plugin:
[droidcam-obs] module loaded release 251..tar.xzinto the user plugins directory and confirmed OBSloads the plugin the same way, including a live scene streaming a phone
over ADB.
