brew2deb

This is a hack that combines Homebrew and FPM to build a Ruby version of pacman's makepkg.

The packages found here can be built using the gh-package/inferno system.

usage from hubot

You can build any package in brew2deb via hubot, using:

hubot package {package-name}/{branch}

You can also test packages like so:

hubot package git/test-package-branch

You'll find the built test packages for git in, e.g., /data/brew2deb/packages/git/pkg on build1 (squeeze) and build2 (lenny).

Once in master, you can build and setup packages:

hubot package git/master

This uploads the package to gold1 and runs freight to make it available for puppetruns.
