AMWD.MakeDeb6 1.3.1

dotnet make-deb for .NET 6

Creates a .deb Debian binary package from a specification file through the dotnet CLI command or as standalone command-line tool.

This is a clone of the DotnetMakeDeb created by Yves Goergen on Github!

Installation

dotnet local tool

Install the NuGet package AMWD.MakeDeb6 to your project directory. Then you can run it from the project directory to create your Debian package.

Choose the one matching your .NET runtime version.

dotnet new tool-manifest
dotnet tool install AMWD.MakeDeb6

Command invocation:

dotnet publish -c Release
dotnet make-deb app.debspec

dotnet global tool

Install the NuGet package AMWD.MakeDeb6 as a global tool. Then you can run it from all directories to create your Debian package. This requires the .NET 6.0 runtime to be installed.

Package version

The package version is normally specified in the package specification file (.debspec).

Alternatively, the version can be overridden from a second command line argument after the specification file:

[dotnet] make-deb app.debspec 1.2.0

In automated build scenarios, the package version can also be looked up from another file, like the built application assembly. Use the -vf option to specify the file to read the version from:

[dotnet] make-deb app.debspec -vf bin\Release\linux-x64\publish\MyApp.dll

Other options

The -v option activates verbose output. It prints some progress information while running. Otherwise, it remains silent in normal operation.
