Building a Debian package

The following assumes a user named "builder" will be created to build packages.

• Create a Debian instance
• Update package database: apt-get update
• Install basic build system: apt-get install build-essential fakeroot devscripts
• Create mortal to build package and add to sudoers: adduser builder
• Add mortal to sudoers: usermod -aG sudo builder
• Allow mortal to sudo without password (optional): Create /etc/sudoers.d/builder-nopasswd containing: builder ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL

Minimal steps to publish a World of Warcraft addon for use by multiple addon updaters.

Start by installing a simple GitHub "workflow". This describes a
GitHub action that will be invoked when you push an annotated tag to
your repository. The action will spawn a virtual machine and run a
script that checks out your addon, zips it up in a format suitable
for various addon updater programs, and creates a GitHub "Release".

You can grab a minimal version of this file here:
