Description

More improvements for the Debian package specs:

  • Added rake task pkg:deb to build a Debian package for Foreman with debuild.
  • Relaxed dependencies in Debian control file to hopefully allow installation of the foreman DEB under Ubuntu karmic, Ubuntu lucid, Debian lenny and Debian sid.
  • Fixed error in preinst script when Puppet is not installed and group 'puppet' doesn't exist yet.

The packages built by this spec should be able to run on Debian lenny, Debian sid, Ubuntu karmic and Ubuntu lucid.

just tried it and got the following error:

rake pkg:deb

am I missing something?

dpkg-checkbuilddeps: Unmet build dependencies: cdbs
dpkg-buildpackage: warning: Build dependencies/conflicts unsatisfied; aborting.

You should install the package cdbs as it's needed for building the foreman .DEB package.

I'll have a look at how to automate this in the Rakefile when I find some time.
