This is a Sublime Text build file I use for creating packages for a private repository. These are all built as native packages, so it may not include everything that a full-blown Debian developer would like, but it suits my purposes.
The build assumes that the base name of the .sublime-project file is the same name as the primary generated package files. E.g. a project whose .sublime-project file is sitebackup.sublime-project is expected to produce package files starting with sitebackup (e.g. sitebackup_1.0.10_all.deb), sitebackup_1.0.10.amd64.buildinfo, sitebackup_1.0.10.amd64.changes, sitebackup_1.0.10.dsc, and sitebackup_1.0.10.tar.xz, to use a recent example). This primarily applies to the "Run Lintian" and "Delete Package files" variants.
It's also assumed that dupload is installed and set up to default to the private repository used, and that lintian and debhelper is installed.
Projects that are debian package projects are identified by having a debian/changelog file in the root of the project.
The following variants are provided (press Ctrl-Shift-B to bring them up):
-
New changelog entry This runs 'dch' to create a new entry in the changelog file. The entry will show up with the text 'new' as the content, ready to be edited.
-
Build package This runs 'dpkg-buildpackage' to build the package. The package is built in the parent directory of the project.
-
Run Lintian This runs 'lintian' on the generated package .changes file.
-
Upload Package This runs 'dupload' in the directory the package is built in.
-
Clean package files This runs 'dh_clean' to clean the in-project files generated by dpkg-buildpackage.
-
Delete package files This removes the generated package files from the parent directory of the project. To be specific, it removes files matching '${project_base_name}_*'. If your project produces multiple packages, some may be missed.
