Add Xapiand as a Debian package

[Kronuz]

We need to have Xapiand available as a Debian package, installable in Debian and Ubuntu. @vit1251 any idea what we need towards that goal? Can you help?

I think that Travis-CI does not provide a wide specter of Linux package (only outdate Ubuntu). We here have two way:

• Using Docker CI service with any Linux system (more on https://docs.drone.io/user-guide/pipeline/steps/)
• Using another CI service (i.e. CircleCI always popup on YouTube in many time on this week)

To create Debian package we have a many ways.

• Make package with debian helper (dh) and many additional scripting tools;
• Using Debian package archiver to pack directory structure.

I second way is more popular but you may construct combine with use additional utilite bonuses.

P.S. Litte later I sare here script to make .deb package.

Hello, I search in source code some simple way to create Debian package without using script based build. I provide Makefile part with simple operation:

PRODUCT=my_custom_product_name
PRODUCT_EXECUTABLE=my_app
VERSION=1.0.0
ARCH=amd64

package:
	install -m 0755 -d ./package
	install -m 0755 -d ./package/DEBIAN
	install -m 0755 -d ./package/usr/local/bin
	install -m 0755 ./builddir/$(PRODUCT_EXECUTABLE) ./package/usr/local/bin/$(PRODUCT_EXECUTABLE)
	install -m 0644 ./contrib/control ./package/DEBIAN/control
	dpkg-deb --verbose --build ./package $(PRODUCT)_$(VERSION)_$(ARCH).deb

File control you may create with using blueprint on https://gist.github.com/citrusui/c3358f9661550e8cb849 and more description you may read in http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/doc/debian-policy/policy.html/ch-controlfields.html
