SRS - Smart Repository Specification

Creating single source

# Used for all in control file
maintainer = "John Doe <[e-mail]>"

# Each source defines a different source directory
[sources.hello-world]
# Upstream version
version = "0.1"
section = "net"
# Packages available within the source
# .sps files must be placed in the same directory this file is in
packages = ["hello-world"]

In this original hello-world.srs file:

1. Maintainer Information:

   ​​​maintainer = "John Doe <[e-mail]>"
   

   This section specifies the maintainer of the Debian packages that will be created based on this SRS file. The maintainer's name and email address are provided.

2. Source Definition:

   ​​​[sources.hello-world]
   ​​​version = "0.1"
   ​​​section = "net"
   

   Here, a single source directory named hello-world is defined. This source directory represents a software component or project that will be packaged into one or more Debian packages. Details for this source include its upstream version and the Debian section to which it belongs.

3. Packages within the Source:

   ​​​packages = ["hello-world"]
   

   Within the hello-world source, a single package named hello-world is specified. This indicates that the source directory contains the necessary files and instructions to create the hello-world Debian package.

This SRS file is a fundamental part of the Debian packaging process, as it provides essential information about the software project, its version, and the packages to be created. It serves as a blueprint for Debian packaging tools to follow when generating the package structure.
