How to build deb packages #173

Closed wiiznokes closed 8 months ago

wiiznokes commented 8 months ago

I don't know much about the deb build process. Can you please tell me what commands need to be run, or where are located these commands if there are public.

Thank you

You can build a deb package by cd'ing into the git repo of a submodule (e.g. cosmic-comp or cosmic-applets) and then running dpkg-buildpackage -b -uc -us. The package will be placed in the parent folder.

You can find the full explanation of dpkg-buildpackage's options in its man page: https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/dpkg-buildpackage.1.html

I'm going to close this issue since it doesn't have anything to do with COSMIC, but feel free to leave another comment or stop by the Mattermost chat server if you need more help.
