DEB sources and scripts

Asked by DiMi

Hi Matt and team,

I'm looking to start maintaining a PPA for Peercoin and perhaps a few other alt-coins. I wanted to ask if you can point me to the sources and scripts you use to build the packages. I have some experience building RPMs but new to DEBs, so your help would be extremely welcomed.

Thanks in advance!

ki7mt,

Thanks - I know I can read the docs and start from scratch, but it would be very helpful to not reinvent the wheel, so to speak, if at all possible :)

Compile but instead of "sudo make install", install checkinstall and run "sudo checkinstall" you will get a deb file of your efforts.
