At some point, I'll make a script that just sets everything up. Until then, this is an evolving process.

How do I make this work?

1) Install Packages

apt-get install vim sudo cowbuilder dupload

2) Grant yourself sudo rights

As root (usermod -aG sudo YOURUSERNAME)

3) Create or Import your GPG key

You'll need your public and private keys. They'll be used to sign the repo.

4) Create the build environment

Modify "create_build_environment.sh" to reflect your GPG key, and target release. Then run the script. In time, I'll just make these options on the command-line.

5) Create the repo

Modify "repo_setup.sh" to reflect your GPG key, and target release. Then run the script. In time, I'll just make these options on the command-line.

6) Pick a workspace

I like to use ~/workspace. This is used to store the source files, packaging files, etc. When using "build_package.sh" and "build_local_package.sh" they assum your current working directory is your workspace.

I need help?

There is no support. That said, these scripts and methods are based on information from the Debian wiki.
