a debian package builder for rabbitmq-c
Since the debian package building has been removed from the rabbitmq-c repo it seemed appropriate to publicly post how we build this code into a package internally at OneHealth. The hope is to collaborate with others on creating a standardized version of the package that we can contribute to debian and ubuntu alike that follows the project specific standards.
This has been tested on Ubuntu Precise 12.04.3 LTS 64-bit. It uses your git config to determine the e-mail and name to use in the debian change log. This is useful to know who build the package in a more automated way, but I recognize that this may not work for everyone. I am open to suggestions on how to make this (or any other parts of) this code better.
It assumes that you have a debian build environment installed. Which can be accomplished
apt-get install devscripts dh-make fakeroot build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r` git-buildpackageCurrently, the way we build is by using the following command line:
GPG_KEY=XXXXXX GPG_MAINTAINER=gpgkey@example.com ./build.sh
