#!/usr/bin/python

# This program makes Debian and RPM repositories for MongoDB, by
# downloading our tarballs of statically linked executables and
# insinuating them into Linux packages.  It must be run on a
# Debianoid, since Debian provides tools to make RPMs, but RPM-based
# systems don't provide debian packaging crud.

# Notes:
#
# * Almost anything that you want to be able to influence about how a
# package construction must be embedded in some file that the
# packaging tool uses for input (e.g., debian/rules, debian/control,
# debian/changelog; or the RPM specfile), and the precise details are
# arbitrary and silly.  So this program generates all the relevant
# inputs to the packaging tools.
#
# * Once a .deb or .rpm package is made, there's a separate layer of
# tools that makes a "repository" for use by the apt/yum layers of
# package tools.  The layouts of these repositories are arbitrary and
# silly, too.
#
# * Before you run the program on a new host, these are the
# prerequisites:
#
# apt-get install dpkg-dev rpm debhelper fakeroot ia32-libs createrepo git-core
# echo "Now put the dist gnupg signing keys in ~root/.gnupg"
