tinc - Nov 2016 - about generating .deb package for Ubuntu and the Tinc command

Hi to all.

I'm experimenting with tinc 1.1 using ubuntu and I need to generate a .deb
package to be able to install latest 1.1pre14 version in ubuntu. I found
the .deb package for debian in the experimental repositories, but couldn't
find the same for ubuntu and wish to build the package myself.

I'm able to compile and install Tinc from sources on ubuntu, but never
created deb packages before. Is this process already automated in the Tinc
makefiles? I found that running "make deb" gives me an error
"cannot open
'debian/changelog' for reading: Not such file or directory"

Regarding the Tinc command, can it be used for tinc 1.0 too? I'm developing
an API for tinc and I'm using information fetched from Tinc command
included in the 1.1 release. Its very helpful

Thanks!

Hello,

for help in ubuntu packaging go on IRC freenode and join #ubuntu-server

you can find great help there.

You can not make a make deb from vanilla sources. You need a debian
tarball with the debian folder in it.

Check out sources of the current ubuntu package:

https://launchpad.net/tinc-vpn

It looks like you have to checkout the sources with bazar
