$ pip install .

Usage

Initialize packager in your project repository.

$ packager init

This creates a .packager folder and a config.yml inside. Update the config.yml with required settings. Below is an example config.yml.

package:
    name: example-deb
    version: 1.0.0
    description: "An example packager config for a debian package"
    build: cmake
    authors:
        - Harish Navnit <harishnavnit@gmail.com>
    targets:
        - debian

Check if the config.yml is valid.

$ packager validate .packager/config.yml

Config file at .packager/config.yml is valid

Build the package

$ packager build .packager/config.yml
