About pkgcreator

pkgcreator is a command line tool for operating systems based on
Debian GNU/Linux with the goal of automating some of the tasks of
packaging binaries. The idea behind the tool is to be able to do all
the necessary steps of creating the package based on information
retrieved from a single markup file . This file uses the YAML as its
markup language, which provides good readability for human beings yet
being able to represent almost any structured information. By
processing this file, pkgcreator can generate menus entries, icons
and Debian specific files automatically.

Installing

== Pre-requisites ==

The following packages must be installed before trying to install
pkgcreator:

python-imaging: used to generate icons
python-yaml: used to parse package markup files
dpkg: used to generate the final package
kwalify: used to verify if the package markup file is valid 
		 (optional, but highly recommended)

All these packages are available in recent versions of Ubuntu and
Debian.

Also, if the Python package colorama is installed and the terminal
supports colors, pretty messages will be displayed. The colorama
package can be downloaded from the project's page
(http://pypi.python.org/pypi/colorama).

== Instalation procedure ==

The easiest and recommended way to do this is to download the
Debian package from the project's page and double-click it.

If you wish to use this tarball to install pkgcreator, just run

python setup.py install

with admin privileges.
