I'm trying to build packages for ubuntu using the instructions and scripts from
Santiago https://github.com/santiago-bassett/ossec-debian
After doing a few obvious tweaks to try and make them work for ubuntu codenames
instead of debian codenames, I tried to run generate_ossec.sh and it complained
because the ossec-hids directory is a git repository, not something that
containst a source tarball.
Has anyone put together scripts to create the packages from a git repository?
I'm pretty new to using the debian infrastructure to create packages. I've been
building local packages for years using checkinstall and/or creating them
manually (ar/cpio/etc). I just finished going through and getting a similar
setup done for rsyslog, so I've got a vauge idea of what's going on :-)
