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
