Debian Packager released

[sysrpl]

I've put up a release for Debian Packager, a tool which hopefully makes it easy for developers to create their own deb packages to deploy their applications. Usage should be self explanatory and help is provided. Debian Packager can build both 32 and 64 bit deb packages.

http://www.getlazarus.org/apps/makedeb/

To install a package: dpkg -i packagename.deb
To uninstall a package: dpkg -r packagename

Note: apt-file is no longer required to build your app dependency list.

Source code for the project is also available on github under the copyleft license.

Well it is self-explanatory for those who already know how to make a .deb pack, and need next to no explanations anyhow.

A DEBUILD bash script will me made though that can be run manually in case no .deb is being produced.

Like I had to manually copy the "control" file asf. then run the script, but still some stuff was missing / failing. It sure makes the process faster and easier though.

It is not a visual component, as the README fails to mention but creates 2 menu entries under "Projects". Also lint complains about a few params which could be updated quickly (Standards version etc., see lint output).
Unfortuantely no complete and working sample is provided so as to compare against a known correct package.
