packages:
• we would use the debian_package
target, but the nfpm
backend would register different fields on that target than if you enabled the debian
backend.
◦ The debian_backend
currently registers 4 fields: sources
, symlinks
, install_prefix
, packages
. Of those I might be able to use the sources
field - but the help text is all wrong for the nfpm
backend which generates the CONTROL
file instead of requiring the user to write it.curved-television-6568

options for deb
, and I'm not sure how much it would share with nfpm
. https://fpm.readthedocs.io/en/latest/packages/deb.html
The options for fpm
are confusing imo, which is part of why I looked for an alternative (that and ruby - ick, plus the other reasons listed in the proposal).curved-television-6568
