It's easy to write a PKGBUILD for Arch, and IDK RPM but writing a Debian package is not that hard too, I've written a .deb that installs all the software I use on Ubuntu Gnome and it's just a directory and two or three files. Its docs could use a bit of help though, the Debian handbook is sometimes very superficial.



Well, offering a repo is yet another step further than just putting a .deb on the website.


Would you share how you made that deb? Sounds useful.


I just made a blog post on this: http://www.gkayaalp.com/deb.html


Thanks.


i think the hard part is maintaining it more than creating it. Library dependency and testing.

There is a lot more than just creating a package.
