Building Debian/Ubuntu package

Hi,

I just compiled the OSE-2.0.0 and found the debian subfolder. Is it possible to build a debian package for the self-compiled VirtualBox? (for installation housekeeping)

I could not find any documentation yet.

Thx,
Jens

Yes, there are several methods:
One is use:

Code: Select all

fakeroot debian/rules binary
another is use

Code: Select all

dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -us -uc
the second method make also the source file .tar.gz and the description file .dsc
