Makedeb

Drone CI - Stable Drone CI - Alpha
AUR - Stable AUR - Alpha

Overview

makedeb takes PKGBUILD files and creates Debian packages installable with APT.

Automated installation and updates of AUR and Arch Linux packages are available with mpm.

Installation

Arch Linux users can install makedeb from the AUR from the stable or alpha release.

Users on Debian or Debian-based systems (i.e. Ubuntu) should follow the below instructions.

First, set up the repository with the following commands:

sudo wget 'https://hunterwittenborn.com/keys/apt.asc' -O /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/hwittenborn.asc
echo 'deb [arch=all] https://repo.hunterwittenborn.com/debian/makedeb any main' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/makedeb.list
sudo apt update

Then, install makedeb with one of the following commands:

  • makedeb (stable release):
sudo apt install makedeb
  • makedeb (alpha release):
sudo apt install makedeb-alpha

As expected, don't run the alpha release if you're expecting stability. Things could break occasionally, and you'll need to know how to get around your system when it happens.

For support of converting PKGBUILD details from Arch Linux (i.e. dependencies and architectures), install the makedeb-db package as well:

sudo apt install makedeb-db

Usage

Instructions can be found after installation with makedeb --help

Documentation on the inner working of makedeb, as well as guides to contributing, are available in the makedeb wiki.
