Purpose

selenium-deb-pkg implements a simple way to build a Debian package of the selenium-server. This is useful if you want to roll out selenium-server on your infrastructure using Debian repositories.

The build step will automatically download the selenium-server jar file from Google code and put it into a binary Debian package. A symlink /var/lib/selenium/selenium-server.jar will generated to point to the actual selenium-server file, so you can use /var/lib/selenium/selenium-server.jar in your startup/init script without worrying about the selenium-server version.

How to build

To build the Debian package just use the common way for Debian package builds. If you don't know what this is about, you might just want to run:

% fakeroot debian/rules binary

Adjust selenium-server version

Edit the configuration file CONFIG and point the 'version' variable to the version of selenium-server you want to use. Do not forget to adjust debian/changelog accordingly.
