about generating .deb package for Ubuntu and the Tinc command

[Saverio Proto]

Hello,

for help in ubuntu packaging go on IRC freenode and join #ubuntu-server

you can find great help there.

You can not make a make deb from vanilla sources. You need a debian
tarball with the debian folder in it.

Check out sources of the current ubuntu package:

https://launchpad.net/tinc-vpn

It looks like you have to checkout the sources with bazar
