Packaging new software

Packages in the repository are created using debcrafter tool which allows building complex debian packages from very rich specification files. Packaging process is still being developed and not fully documented yet. Recommended approach to learn about packaging and creating own package is using cadr-guide. This interactive tool will guide you through the process and help you create a package for your desired software.
