Jenkins plugins packages

With this small helper it is possible to package any Jenkins plugin as a Debian package.

Why

The easiest way to install any software on a Linux box in an automated way (eg using puppet) is to use the built-in package manager.

How

You need:

ruby and fpm

gem install fpm

You do:

edit plugins.txt
execute ./package

TODO

Create an additional package that has all plugins (with their corresponding versions) as dependencies, so you need to define only one package to be installed.
