debian control directory
- debian/
- root name of a package control directory.
- dh-make
- Convert an existing source package to your own package for modification.
aptitude -q -y install dh-make fakeroot pbuilder cdebootstrap
How To
- Put all source into a directory named package-version.
- Modify source directory as specified in http://www.debian.org/doc/maint-guide/ch-modify.en.html
- When you are done cd above this directory: cd ..
- create package-version.tar.gz source tarball: `tar czf package-version.tar.gz package-version`.
- Create initial debian package environment: `cd package-version/;dh_make -e user@example.com -f ../package-version.tar.gz`. This will create a new "debian" directory.
- Edit these files ./debian/control ./debian/copyright ./debian/license
- Run `dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot`
clean environment and workspace
This depends on `cdebootstrap`. This will take a while as it create an entire Debian chroot directory that looks like a fresh install.
sudo pbuilder create
