This repo creates packages for GOV.UK.
This is the way we create packages now. It is easier than using debuild because it's just one command instead of creating Debian packaging files by hand.
This is how we used to do things.
Used for testing your created package. Relies on Docker.
Set up:
$ cd test-your-package
$ docker build -t trusty .
Check your setup is working:
$ docker run -v ~/Downloads:/home -w /home trusty ls
# should see your downloaded package in the output
Verify that your package can be imported:
$ docker run -v ~/Downloads:/home -w /home trusty sudo dpkg -i ./rbenv-ruby-2.6.9_1_amd64.deb
Selecting previously unselected package rbenv-ruby-2.6.9.
