Debian Directory

Mysterious.

Chapter 6: https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/build.en.html

Here's what you do:

Start by installing debhelper:

apt-get install debhelper dh-make

Now go to the directory level where the debian/ directory is located. ls debian should show you the contents of the debian directory (source, rules, etc.).

Now run the command to build the debian package (.deb file):

dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc

Dunno... not working...

$ dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc

can't figure this out...

sudo apt-get install git-buildpackage
