Debian folder

The "debian"-Folder should be in the root of the project. It contains all Metadata and scripts for creating the final package.

Required Files

These files are the bare minimum to create a Debian package

Building the package

Backports

Packages are typical first build for "sid" ("unstable") and after a few days also released for the current testing distribution (Currently code name "bookworm"). Older Stable distributions only get updated packages for bug fixes. New features are only distributed with "backports". Backports are packages original build for a newer distribution, e.g. sid and are rebuilt for older distributions to provide new features.

Naming

The Version of a backported package should end with ~bpoDISTRO+BACKPORT_REVISION with "DISTRO" being replaces with the target distribution number, e.g. 10 for "buster" and "BACKPORT_REVISION" is the package revision number starting at 1.

Distribution list with Examples
Codename Number Example
Bullseye 11 1.2.3-4~bpo11+1
Buster 10 1.2.3-4~bpo10+1
Focal 22.04 1.2.3-4~bpo22.04+1
Bionic 20.04 1.2.3-4~bpo20.04+1
