This README file gives a very rough idea of how to build Debian

packages for this module

There may be dependencies I've forgotten to mention!

Version numbers may change as well!

VERSION=0.5.3a export DEBFULLNAME="Ben Croston" export DEBEMAIL="ben@croston.org"

install debian package build dependencies

sudo apt-get install devscripts build-essential fakeroot dh-make

create build area

mkdir ~/temp cd ~/temp

get development source

hg clone https://code.google.com/p/raspberry-gpio-python/ cd raspberry-gpio-python

create tarball (in dist directory)

python setup.py sdist

cd ~/temp cp raspberry-gpio-python/dist/*.gz . tar xvfz RPi.GPIO-$VERSION.tar.gz mv RPi.GPIO-$VERSION rpi.gpio-$VERSION cd rpi.gpio-$VERSION dh_make -s -f ../RPi.GPIO-$VERSION.tar.gz

delete debian directory and replace it with my copy (from hg)

rm -rf debian cp -a ~/temp/raspberry-gpio-python/debian .

build .deb files
