Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/982

Because it has

  • own installation framework including the ones needed to create packages
  • a bunch of scripts to detect presence of libraries in system
  • own testing framework
  • a gui configurator

All of this is now done via shell scripts and sometimes brokes. For example I was unable to build a .deb using the provided script on my machine.

It is kind of late to move to cmake and introduce a new dependency. I will consider it for new projects.

To make a .deb, run "sudo make deb".
