The Debian build toolchain is a collection of software utilities used to create Debian source packages (.dsc
) and Debian binary packages (.deb
files) from upstream source tarballs.
These tools are used in the Debian project and also in Debian-based distributions such as Ubuntu.

Famous quotes containing the word build:
“Never tell me that not one star of all
That slip from heaven at night and softly fall
Has been picked up with stones to build a wall.”
—Robert Frost (18741963)
