# PkgDeb
PkgDeb is a .deb file packager for `Mix Release`.
This is currently just a fork of distillery_packager for `Mix Release` so the code is quite messy but works.
In a future release the whole codebase will be revamped and slimmed down.
## Installation
If [available in Hex](https://hex.pm/docs/publish), the package can be installed
by adding `pkg_deb` to your list of dependencies in `mix.exs`:
```elixir
def deps do
[
{:pkg_deb, "~> 0.1.0"}
]
end
```
Documentation can be generated with [ExDoc](https://github.com/elixir-lang/ex_doc)
and published on [HexDocs](https://hexdocs.pm). Once published, the docs can
be found at [https://hexdocs.pm/pkg_deb](https://hexdocs.pm/pkg_deb).
## Usage
Inside of your mix.exs file add:
```elixir
defp deb_config() do
[
vendor: "Your Name",
maintainers: ["Your Name <your@email.com>"],
homepage: "https://yourdomain.com",
base_path: "/opt",
external_dependencies: [],
owner: [user: "youruser", group: "youruser"],
description: "yourdescription"
]
end
```
And to the steps inside of `releases` add:
```elixir
steps: [:assemble, &PkgDeb.create_deb(&1, deb_config())],
```
## Thanks
Thanks to `distillery_packager` for their package that this is based of.
