[Parti-discuss] [ANNOUNCE] Ubuntu repository

[Antoine Martin]

Hi Nathaniel,

Attached are the bits that I have used that you may want to
merge/maintain/have a copy of.
The xpra.dsc file should be renamed to DEBIAN/control, but it needs
tweaking at build time to match the distro... This is just the template
that my scripts use. changelog also goes in DEBIAN/
Basically, for each chroot (one for each arch/release), they create a
fakeinstall directory, populate it with xpra's install/* and DEBIAN/*,
then call "dpkg -b fakeinstall xpra.deb"

Cheers
Antoine
