Debian Package Maker is a simple tool for building your own debian package.
You can build debian packages using two modes:
Target Mode
Manually specify the installation directory and the files to be installed in the target installation directory.
Source Mode
Debian Package Maker will configure the source for you, compile them and then build a package using the target rules.
configure/autogen scripts and Makefile/rules is required for DPM to automate the whole process for you.
Or if you prefer a wizard, as of 0.4 you can now build a Debian package using wizard.

Provides user interface for package information that will be used as control file to create a debian package.
It also provides a different tabs for adding package dependencies:
Dependencies
Pre-dependencies
Recommends
Suggests
Breaks
Conflicts
Replaces
Provides
Can add scripts like postins,changelogs etc. straight forward to use.

Thanks for this great application !
Very nice program, thanks. Some things were tricky to figure out though.
Thank you very much :D Let me know which part is tricky maybe I can improve it.
Could you also give the debian directory of your hardy deb package?
So it can also be compiled using 64bit and release it on getdeb.net?

Hi, I'm sorry what do you mean by debian directory?
Some requested to have a 64bit package, here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/getdeb.net/+bug/235061
So I requested to have the source (debian directory or diff.gz) for compiling the sources and pack them to a debian package.
This package would then be released on getdeb.net.
This is a good software. I found a bug (see google code site) and I would like to know if you are maintaining this software... just to know if we can wait an update
thanks
any upgrade for ubuntu 8.10 ?
Hi all, I'm really sorry. I got tide up. Lots of projects commin' in. Expect an update after Jaunty Jackalope is released.
Many thanks for all the bug reports, patches and language contributions.

Intriguing looking software! I hope that getting this working on Jaunty and or Karmic will allow others to contribute more PPA!!! Can't wait to get it working for my Jaunty install!
