#Dumb .deb builder

Current version: 0.2.0

Project website: http://sitnin.github.com/ddb/

This is a python script which reads package description from a single JSON-file and creates binary package.

Rationale is very simple: this script doesn't compile or build anything. It just packs bunch of files (like your python or node.js website project) into a package.

##Installation

$ echo "deb http://deb.sitnin.com/ ddb/" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
$ apt-get update
$ apt-get install ddb

Building of the ddb package

I build ddb .deb package with ddb itself since the very first package. It's simple:

$ ddb -r deb/deb.json -s ./ -o ./out -t ./tmp -u3 -f

And this is how is the output looks like:

Dumb .deb builder version 0.1.0 (c) Gregory Sitnin, 2012.
