OpenRA

How does one build a Debian package for OpenRA from its source code? I know that Debian package releases are available from https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/releases, but I want to build my own Debian package, how do I do this? I have tried running:
to compile the source. Then going to packaging/linux/deb and tried using the buildpackage.sh script, but the syntax is confusing me. What are root-dir and outputdir meant to be?

IMO you should just download everything under your home directory, do make dependencies && make all and call it a day.

That's how I handle my development directories.

I suggest instead commenting out the windows and osx sections in package-all.sh, and then execute that as `./packaging/package-all.sh custom-20161017 /full/path/to/where/your/deb/should/be/written`

You can also take a look at https://github.com/ckorn/PlayDeb/tree/xenial/openra if you want to do it properly.
