Debian packaging is considered experimental!

Generating DEB packages

You first need to generate a changelog, then create a .deb package.

scripts/create-debian-changelog.py #May take some time
debuild -us -uc -b

The first command generates changelog messages for all git commit messages. If you're not interested in a proper changelog, you can use this command instead of create-debian-changelog.py to create an empty changelog:

dch --create -v 0.0.0-dev$(git rev-list $(git rev-parse HEAD) | wc -l)  --package mailpile ""
debuild -us -uc -b
