How to build Debian package from source #8

I'd prefer not to perform a make install and overwrite the official pocket-home in a way that can't easily be reversed, and would prefer to build a .deb package from source and install that. I can see there is a debian package directory already in there, but I have no idea how to actually run the packager. Could you add a makefile target for it?

Hello @AndrewAlexMac ,

This debian folder (now called debian-OLD) wasn't the one I use indeed. I have just pushed my debian folder. I added new rules to the Makefile: pack and install The rule pack will only copy the compiled binary and put it in the debian folder whereas install will also install it with dpkg right after
