Creating a local (signed) debian repository.

• The main steps are from: [Creating your own Signed APT Repository and Debian Packages] (https://scotbofh.wordpress.com/2011/04/26/creating-your-own-signed-apt-repository-and-debian-packages/)

• NOTE: You might get an error like this:gpg: signing failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device, when executed dpkg-sig --sign builder mypackage_0.1.2_amd64.deb. Then follow the steps mentioned in this steps to get around the problem.

• while generating conf/distributions file codename should be the one based on your debian version. origin should be localhost.

• Store the public key, that is generated in the process to a file.( gpg --armor --export jon@aframe.com --output jon@aframe.com.gpg.key will output the key. Just store that in a file).

• Add that key to apt, with the command sudo apt-key add <key-filename>

• Go to /etc/apt/sources.list, then add this line: deb file:<folder-containing-conf-folder> stretch main.

• Run sudo apt update.
