How to build Debian packages with Buildkite.
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 Buildkite?
Buildkite is a platform for running fast, secure, and scalable continuous integration pipelines on your own infrastructure. With Buildkite, you can deploy your Ruby, Java, Node or Python projects to the cloud in one click; run C++ projects on App Engine; run JavaScript, Go, RVM or Pipelines in any public or private Docker container; and install Docker images with pre-installed build tools like Go or Rust. Each job is created using our easy YAML syntax that supports arbitrary commands (eg. buildr), with no agent required.
