Each package is built in a +fresh environment, with build dependencies pulled in via apt. Previously built +packages are available via a file-based apt source. + +The packaging logic is also the same for Debian and Ubuntu. + + +## Structure + +* `packages/$DISTRO-$DISTRO_VERNAME`: Output folder for debian packages. +Also contains a `Packages.gz` metadata file generated by `dpkg-scanpackages` +so that this folder can be directly consumed as a trusted package source. + +* `buildscripts/*`: Build scripts used during the package build steps. |
