The right way is to provide a debian directory with the appropriate packaging metadata.
Use git-buildpackage and associated tools (git-dch etc) to build the packages natively (or allow others to build for their Debian based distros).
- justinsb 11y agoThanks, but it's still not obvious to me what to do. Looking at this: https://wiki.debian.org/PackagingWithGit https://wiki.debian.org/PackagingWithGit, git-buildpackage documentation seems to suggest either creating a separate branch, or packaging tarballs, both of which seem different to what you're suggesting where I just create a debian directory. Do you have a different document or an example repo with the debian/ directory? This is why I've resorted to FPM in the past - the deb tools seem so simple, and I'm sure they are simple for people that have done it before, but the documentation for FPM is much more direct and thus people (such as myself) use it, even though we know it's not "right".
