Great instructions! From now, on when I complain about sparse, vague, and inaccurate compiling instructions I will direct the authors to this page so they can see how its done.

[edit] Building DEB packages

SCons scripts to build Vdrift Deb packages. Please complete them as needed --Bogdanbiv 07:02, 26 June 2009 (PDT)

1. Append this to the end of SConstruct script
2. package target build as Debian packages

if 'debian' in COMMAND_LINE_TARGETS:

   SConscript("deb/debConstruct.py")

3. Skip this if it's not relevant to you.
4. svn_version = os.popen('svnversion ..').read()[:-1]

1. This may be as simple as '89' or as complex as '4123:4184M'.
2. We'll just use the last bit.
3. svn_version = svn_version.split(':')[-1]

svn_version = "2009.06.15"

1. Here's the core info for the package
