Debian packages? #21

Open shentino opened 3 years ago

I was just thinking that having a way to package DGD and SkotOS into a .deb might help increase the userbase.

I already pondered doing something similiar for DGD as a gentoo ebuild.

That could definitely be useful. The Stackscripts would probably make good raw materials for starting that project. It'd be fairly sizeable to do it right - you'd want to package up DGD as a .deb as well, for instance, to let it vary independently. Same for the websocket tunnel, etc.

But it would be easier to install than the current way. So that's nice. And your stackscript would just set some command-line Debian configuration and install the packages with apt. So that's nice too.

The big advantage it gets you is that it would be easier for people on Linux desktop/laptop machines to get a clean local install.
