How to build Debian packages with TeamCity.
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 TeamCity?
TeamCity is a build server and a suite of developer productivity tools. It is a smart, user-friendly solution for effective software projects management. TeamCity enables developers to track changes in source code, compile projects, execute all kinds of tests, control versions, gather reports and generate artifacts. In addition, the distributed builds technology helps to organize multiple development locations.
