building a debian package
|

| Hi,
I would like to build a perlbal debian package, but I don't really
understand how to do it. I tried it with `dpkg -b`, but it did not
work. Could anyone explain it or just where to get one?
Thanks,
Tomas

| There's a utility with debian called 'dh-make-perl' that helps a lot
You need to install it (plus fakeroot) first:
# apt-get install dh-make-perl fakeroot
Then, from inside the perlbal distribution you can then do:
$ dh-make-perl
And then it should say "Done" and you can do
$ dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
and it will build a .deb file for you in the parent directory.
I just tried this out and had no problems, hope it goes well for you.
