You then type the number to select the version you want to package.

Select BRANCH:
1) v7-stable
2) v8-stable
3) v8-devel
#?

Again, type the number for the branch. Usually 2) v8-stable.

Select Ubuntu DIST:
1) precise
2) trusty
#?

Select the Ubuntu DIST the package is for. If both, you need to repeat the whole process.

Generate Changelog entry for trusty/v8-stable (y/n)?

-------------------------------------

Select the change file for the release to upload to launchpad. There the package will be built according to the specifications.

Important Notes

  • Make sure, the root directory in the tar file has the same name as the base name of the tar.
  • The changelog files are stored in the subdirectory of the DIST, like rsyslog-pkg-ubuntu/rsyslog/trusty/v8-stable/debian/

Important Files

config.sh: Global configs that are common to all/most of the scripts. Among other things, it identifies you (GPG Key) so you can sign your package. Edit to customize this installation for your needs; the other scripts should be left alone.

control: Determines how the packages are built and names specific dependencies for the packages

rsyslog.install: File locations for modules to be installed

rsyslog-*.install: Specific module locations for separate packages

rsyslog.conf: Default configuration file to be included in packages

rules: Build parameters
