Build Debian package for vlmcsd

It turns out vlmcsd already has a Debian buildpackage scripts as a git submodule.

To build the package and install

  1. Clone the vlmcsd git repository with submodules
foo@bar:~$ git clone --recurse-submodules -j8 https://github.com/Wind4/vlmcsd.git vlmcsd/vlmcsd
  1. Build the Debian package
foo@bar:~$ cd vlmcsd/vlmcsd
foo@bar:~$ dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -b -uc -us

Note this will build the package unsigned - well, you shouldn't be able to sign it anyway.

  1. Find the newly-built package and install either locally or remotely
foo@bar:~$ scp ../vlmcsd_*_amd64.deb target:~/
foo@target:~$ sudo dpkg -i vlmcsd_*_amd64.deb

You should be able to build the whole thing directly with gbp, too.

To remove the installed package

foo@target:~$ sudo apt purge vlmcsd

And all files including the configuration files should be removed.
