This program can be used to make OS packages for an Erlang application bundled as an OTP release.
Requires devscripts and debhelper to be installed on the debian build machine.
Create a pkgx.config in the root of your project. Look at the
pkgx.config.sample file for instpiration. Also, make sure that
you're all set with generating a release using the relx tool.
Typical workflow scenario:
$> rebar compile
$> relx release
$> pkgx deb
Now, you have a *.deb file in your directory which holds the Erlang
release and can be easily installed on a target system.
The service will automatically start (using an init.d script), and
runs under a new user account. Log files are found in
/var/log/(package). A default, empty, config file is created in
/etc/(package)/(package).config, from which application environment
variables are read from.
