README.md

Turn your blog into a .deb file

A .deb file is a bundled file that you can use to distribute software on Linux machines.

This repository provides a shell that you can use to add only a man page to your system's manual.

[!WARNING]
This project was made for fun, to learn about the .deb packaging system. You should never install packages whose source you do not trust. I do not recommend using .deb as a way to share your blog to readers (the web is the best way to share what you write online), but this repository may help you learn a thing or two about the structure of a .deb file.

Getting started

To get started, clone this repository:

bash git clone https://capjamesg/jamesg.blog.deb cd jamesg.blog.deb/jamesg.blog

Then:

  1. Open the DEBIAN/source file and replace the values with values that are meaningful to you (i.e. your name, email).
  2. Open the DEBIAN/changelog file and add a changelog entry that makes sense to you.
  3. Rename usr/share/man/man1/jamesg.blog.1 to usr/share/man/man1/<your-command>.1. The .1 suffix is required.

Once you have set up your package, run the following commands to build your package:

bash mkdir my-package mv DEBIAN my-package/ echo " " > my-package/my-package # you need to have a blank file with the same name as your binary dpkg-deb --build --root-owner-group my-package/

To install your package, run:

bash sudo dpkg -i my-package.deb

Your manual page will be available at:

bash man my-package
