DSL of Debian Builder

The deb task is responsible for building Debian packages using Setup Builder.

The following options are available to the deb task:

deb {

    // Sets the installation root of the software application
    // defaults to /usr/share/{setupBuilder.application}
    installationRoot = "/usr/share/my-application"
    
    // defines a file that will be stored in /etc/default/{serviceName}
    // ususally contains default information for the service starter.
    defaultServiceFile = "default-service.txt" 
    
    // a script that will be included into the default service starter script
    additionalServiceScript = "<script>"
    
    // true (default), if the default service (aka the first service defined)
    // should start after installation
    startDefaultService = false
    
    // The user the services will be executed with, defaults to root
    daemonUser = "root" 
    
    // Architecture of the installer, defaults to "all"
    architecture = "all"
    
    // List of recommended software components to install along the application
    recommends = "java | python3"
    
    // List of software components the application depends on
    depends = "java | python3"
    
    // the section is alike the category, defaults to "Application/Productivity"
    section = "Application/Productivity"
    
    // sets the homepage of the vendor for this application
    homepage = "https://www.inetsoftware.de"
}

The following additional options are available to the deb task:

deb {

    // a priority of the application, defaults to "optional"
    priority = "optional"

    // optional, size to expect when the package is installed.
    installSize = "10"

    // optional, uses lintian to check the package definition if true
    checkPackage = false

    // optional, lintian options. will only be used if deb.checkPackage == true
    lintianOptions = ""

    // e-mail address of the maintainer of this package.
    maintainerEmail = "[email protected]"

    // String of changes in this package
    changes = ""
}

To allow even more customization during installation you can use several installation script entry points. Please have a look at the specifc documentation.
