Drush Debian Packaging

About

dh-make-drupal 2 is a more flexible and complex tool
to build debian packages from a drupal instance. It relies
on a couple of drush extensions and Git to be able to
build a debian package.

api 1 exists legacy purposes, it is not recommended to use it.

API 1 can support a number of different combinations of technology - Apache2, Nginx, Libmodphp or php-cgi, logrotate, ssl and cron as well as Nginx as a front end proxy to Apache.

API 2 relies on the drush configuration manager to provide support for services that help Drupal run. Currently supported is Nginx, PHP-FPM, site database connectiviity (MySQL and PostgreSQL only), logrotate and cron.

dh-make-drupal is designed to exist on a development
environment where the debian package will be built. It
does not need to exist where the debian package will be deployed.

See http://drupal.org/project/drush for more details on how to install
drush commands.

Usage

dh-make-drupal will simply bundle up the code base and deploy it to what ever
servers you deploy it to, assuming they are of debian decent. By default, dh-make-drupal
will also place drush dpkg commands in the preinst, postinst, prerm, postrm and config
scripts so that other commands and modules make take advantage of the installation process.
Example:

dh-make-drupal gets better when you combine it with cgfmgr - a configuration management
tool that will generate configuration files, using the cfgmgr-services parameter, you
can add additional supported configuration files to the debian package to be deployed
also. dh-make-drupal will also enable cfgmgr's debconf cfg handler which will prompt
the user when installing the package for varous configuration options.
