debian-packaging v0.1.5

#debian-packaging

Creates a .deb from a control and data directory.

After struggling to get a cross platform solution for building .deb packages, (looking at ant and maven plugins), and wanting something that easily integrates with Grunt, I decided to write this module.

It creates a package from control and data folders, and run some basic checks.

Getting the module

Well it's on npm so just

npm install debian-packaging

##How to use it It works with promises so

var deb = require('debian-packaging');

deb.createPackage({
    control: 'path/to/control/dir',
    data: 'path/to/data/dir',
    dest: 'output/my-package.deb'
})
.then(function () {
    // It's done
})
.catch(function (err) {
    //something went wrong
})

It's pretty basic, and you have to make the file hierarchy by yourself, but its purpose is to be used in grunt tasks
