1. You need a web server serving from say, /var/www/cran2deb/
Let ROOT be the value returned by running: cran2deb root
+Let SYS be the system you wish to build for (e.g., debian-amd64)
2. create /etc/cran2deb
- a. copy ROOT/etc/* into /etc/cran2deb
+ a. copy ROOT/etc/* into /etc/cran2deb/sys/SYS/
b. /etc/cran2deb/archive should be a symlink pointing to /var/www/cran2deb/
$ ln -s /var/www/cran2deb/ /etc/cran2deb/archive
+ $ mkdir /var/www/cran2deb/SYS
c. modify OTHERMIRROR of /etc/cran2deb/pbuilderrc.in to point to your webserver
/var/cache/cran2deb, writable by whichever user(s) will run cran2deb.
4. run: cran2deb update
5. Try building a simple package: cran2deb build zoo
- (The result will be in /var/cache/cran2deb/results)
+ (The result will be in /var/cache/cran2deb/results/SYS)
$ cran2deb help
