I also have some packages that were produced with fpm. Here is the script that I am using - https://gist.github.com/nikolavp/5755563 which was borrowed from a blog post I found on the net. You can of course change the versions if you want.
Feel free to add dependency metadata to fpm when building the packages and please comment on the gist if you end up with something useful ;) -- Nikola On Thu, Jun 06, 2013 at 03:32:35PM -0700, Amos Shapira wrote: > Thanks. > > This is similar to a solution suggested > in https://github.com/graphite-project/carbon/issues/86#issuecomment-16200739 > (there he adds a symlink instead of providing a copy). > What I don't like about these (practical) solutions is that they are > fragile - either the symlink target could change (newer version, for > instance) or the content of the copied file could change (and the change > could be lost). > > In the meantime I'm exploring a different direction - there are .deb > packages for the version I want in later versions of Ubuntu than 12.04. > They install cleanly on 12.04 (I assume this is because they are pure > Python) and even if they didn't, I could rebuild them for 12.04 from > source-deb.
