This output plugin for linuxdeploy lets users package AppDirs into .deb and .rpm, i.e., distribution-native packages.

As a linuxdeploy plugin, this software provides the parameters mandated by the linuxdeploy plugin system, i.e., --plugin-type, --plugin-api-version and --appdir.

The plugin supports the new, standardized output plugin environment variables:

• LINUXDEPLOY_OUTPUT_APP_NAME: Application name. Used in the resulting output filename and in the package metadata if not customized.
• LINUXDEPLOY_OUTPUT_VERSION: Application version, used in the filename and the package metadata.

Additionally, the following environment variables are supported:

• LDNP_DESCRIPTION: Optional package description for the package's metadata.
• LDNP_SHORT_DESCRIPTION: Optional short package description for the package's metadata.
• LDNP_PACKAGE_NAME: The package name to be configured in the metadata. If this is not set, the app name is used.
• LDNP_FILENAME_PREFIX: By default, the package name is used. If this is insufficient, a custom value can be specified.

Additional package meta information may be passed in using LDNP_META_* variables. Some examples:

• LDNP_META_DESCRIPTION:
• LDNP_META_SHORT_DESCRIPTION
• LDNP_META_RPM_DESCRIPTION
• LDNP_META_DEB_DESCRIPTION
• LDNP_META_DEB_DEPENDS
• LDNP_META_RPM_REQUIRES
