Super simple bash script to create Debian packages

Warning, running as root may cause errors.

make sure git and dpkg-dev are installed.

# setup
git clone https://github.com/ryanfortner/deb-builder.git
cd deb-builder
chmod +x deb-builder.sh

# run deb builder
./deb-builder.sh

• Be sure to have a directory before running the script containing the files you want to be in the deb.
• For example, if I wanted a script in /usr/bin to be in my deb, I would make a directory, and make another two subdirectories, and place my file within pre-dir/usr/bin/.
• When you get to the control file creation part, you may be able to exclude certain fields. Check this page for optional and required entries.
• Open an issue on this repository if you encounter any problems.
