This repository contains a collection of self-contained scripts which can be used to download & build debian packages.
This is most useful when the version in official package repositories is outdated and you just want to build the package without worrying about complex build processes.
The script automatically
- Download the correct version of the package
- Unpack it
- Create the
debianfolder - Build the package (including a
-devpackage)
(only partially finished)
sudo apt-get install devscripts debhelper build-essential fakerootDepending on the buildscript, you might need to install more packages.
Simply run the buildscript, e.g.:
./deb-jemalloc.shIf the build succeeds, this will create .deb packages. Else, look at the error messages, usually some packages are missing.
When building for a PPA, add
export DEBEMAIL=ukoehler@techoverflow.net
to your .bashrc or .zshrc and restart your shell.
