# GitHub Action to build a Debian package
This is a [GitHub Action](https://github.com/features/actions) that will build
a [Debian package](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deb_%28file_format%29)
(`.deb` file) for the latest Debian release. Multiple architectures are
supported.
This is a fork of
[legoktm/gh-action-build-deb](https://github.com/legoktm/gh-action-build-deb).
This Action will build both a source package and then a binary package and
place them in a `output/` directory.
The 'debian' directory containing the files required to create a Debian
package must be in the source root directory (in the example below, it's
copied to the source root directory before the action is run).
## Example
```yaml
on: [push]
jobs:
build-deb:
strategy:
matrix:
codename:
- trixie
- bookworm
platform:
- amd64
- arm64

runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
- name: Copy debian directory
run: cp -a packaging/debian .
- uses: andy5995/gh-action-build-deb@v1
with:
args: |
--no-sign
--compression=xz
codename: ${{ matrix.codename }}
platform: ${{ matrix.platform }}
- name: Create sha256sum
run: |
DEB_FILENAME=$(basename `find output/*deb`)
echo "DEB_FILENAME=$DEB_FILENAME" >> $GITHUB_ENV
cd output
sha256sum "$DEB_FILENAME" > "../$DEB_FILENAME.sha256sum"
- name: Upload Artifacts
uses: actions/upload-artifact@v4
