Create rkt package for Debian/Ubuntu using checkinstall

install-rkt.sh

#!/bin/bash

# Based on https://github.com/coreos/rkt/blob/v1.15.0/scripts/install-rkt.sh
#
# Pre-requirement: install the packages:
# - ca-certificates
# - curl
# - gnupg2
# - bash-completion
# - checkinstall
# - wget
#
# Suggestion: sudo apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends ca-certificates curl gnupg2 bash-completion checkinstall wget
#
# Then run this script as a normal user. In the final step, checkinstall will create the package in the location as shown in the output. Install as follows:
# sudo dpkg -i /path/to/the.deb

set -e
set -o pipefail
set -x
