a script to make faster and easier packaging nodejs modules
You need to install these dependencies on your system:
sudo apt-get install devscripts npm python3-dateutil node-github-url-from-git
Please, take care to have defined DEBEMAIL (or EMAIL) and DEBFULLNAME environment variables correctly.
sudo python3 setup.py install
Simply take a look at help option:
$ npm2deb -h
usage: npm2deb [-h] [-D DEBUG] [-v]
{create,view,depends,rdepends,search,itp,license} ...
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-D DEBUG, --debug DEBUG
set debug level
-v, --version show program's version number and exit
commands:
{create,view,depends,rdepends,search,itp,license}
create create the debian files
view a summary view of a node module
depends show module dependencies in npm and debian
rdepends show the reverse dependencies for module
search look for module in debian project
itp print a itp bug template
license print license template and exit
A workflow example is showed here: wiki.debian.org/Javascript/Nodejs/Npm2Deb
In the most cases a simple command like this may be enough:
$ npm2deb create node-module
