.deb packaging issues

See original GitHub issue

Produced .deb-files have some issues:

1: permissions (I get 0 instead of root/root in permissions):

tar -tvf data.tar.xz 
drwx------  0 0      0           0 Apr 17 09:19 ./
drwxr-xr-x  0 0      0           0 Apr 17 09:19 ./opt/

I’m building on Mac, this may be an issue. Currently I’m using patched grunt-contrib-deb for this, and it can create debs with correct permissinos on each platform. You may create something like this…

@antelle You can pass most of the fpm flags using build.linux field fpm: ['--flag', 'value', '--flag2', 'value2'] I don’t test it, bit should work. Feel free to open new issue if permissions issue is still actual (as I checked, on install permissions are ok).

fpm is not documented — just to experiment (it is electron-builder task to pass correct flags).

@antelle Description in progress, permissions — to investigate (as you see, deb-user/deb-group defaults to root already).

Ability to pass any flag to fpm will be added as well.
