Making a .deb isn't as simple as it might seem. If you want to use shared libraries, especially so. Which version of Ubuntu/Debian/Mint/... whatever are you targetting? You can tools like FPM[1] (which is awesome btw, used it for some great hacks in the past), but that won't make you .debs that are necessarily done to the debian guidelines but usable.
There are a load os SaaS companies that do that allow you to make multiple targets though, so perhaps some integrations there would work.

- londons_explore 3y agoPresumably some kind of Makefile or similar build automation config file would be in the repo to define which versions of which tools to use to do the build.
- em-bee 3y agothe open build service (by suse) does that. are there others?
- _joel 3y agoI'm certain there are more but I can only think of artifactory now and not sure that even makes the debs (does the repo stuff). Maybe there's a business plan somewhere in there :)
