- mike_hock 3y agoThat is true, but it's not "good luck making one." The "bespoke language" of debian/control is trivial, debian/rules is a makefile and the rest is mostly "one file glob per line" or that sort of thing.
- rubicks 3y agoAh, yes. Debhelper, and its many integrations. I routinely work with the various attachments dedicated to the management of sysuser accounts, systemd units, config files... Yes, it's daunting. It also handles literally everything.
