How to build Debian packages with Bamboo.

What are Debian packages?

Debian is a free operating system ( OS ) for your computer. An operating system is the set of basic programs and utilities that make your computer run. Debian uses the Linux kernel (the core of an OS) along with thousands of software packages (also called 'packages') that are each distributed in a separate file. The packages contain the program code that does all the work, and are connected to each other in what is called a package dependency hierarchy . Each package depends on some smaller package or packages, which in turn depend on even smaller packages, and so on.

What is Bamboo?

Bamboo is a continuous integration and deployment tool that ties automated builds, tests and releases together in a single workflow. Bamboo features web-based configuration and administration, build monitors, extensive hooks to external systems such as Subversion and JIRA, and much more. Bamboo is licensed under the Apache 2.0 License.
