packaging and archive management
Hello, I have volunteered to do a bit of work for a small free software project (https://buddycloud.org), packaging the different parts of their system. This will initially be for debian but possibly for other distros as well at some point. What I am looking for is a program which can take each of the components which make up buddycloud through the various steps of downloading a new version, building it, packaging it, and adding the package file to an archive. Ideally we want to be able to have more than one release - e.g. a bleeding edge dev release and a stable release. I have a few ideas about how to write my own program for this, using a set of bash scripts, but I don't want to spend the effort doing this if there is something good available already, so I wanted to know if there are any suitable programs out there? These could be either be debian tools, or something which can work with any distro. I read a bit about 'Dak', (Debian Archive Kit), but it says there is little or no documentation for this. I'm also wondering if it would be too debian-specific in the end. Thanks for any help, andy baxter -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
