Packaging
---------

This page is only interesting for project maintainers and packagers.
This is not required for installing and using ``zpm``.

1. Install Debian packaging dependencies::

      $ sudo apt-get install devscripts debhelper

2. Clone source from Git. Example::

      $ git clone https://github.com/zerovm/zpm.git

3. Amend the ``debian/changelog`` using ``dch``.

4. Create a gzipped tarball of the zpm source (minus the ``debian/``
   dir)::

      $ tar czf ../zpm_0.1.orig.tar.gz * --exclude=debian

   Note that the ``.tar.gz`` file name will vary depending on the
   latest entry in the changelog.

5. Build a binary package::

      $ debuild

   or for a source package, ::

      $ debuild -S
