+# Deb-Mock Debian Package and Repository Setup
+
+## 🎉 **Complete Debian Packaging Infrastructure Added!**
+
+We have successfully added comprehensive Debian packaging and repository infrastructure to the Deb-Mock project, enabling automated building and distribution of Debian packages through a dedicated repository.
+
+## ✅ **What's Been Added**
+
+### **1. Debian Packaging Files** ✅
+
+#### **Core Packaging Files**
+- **`debian/control`**: Package metadata, dependencies, and description
+- **`debian/changelog`**: Version history and release notes
+- **`debian/rules`**: Build instructions and installation rules
+- **`debian/copyright`**: License information (MIT)
+- **`debian/compat`**: Debhelper compatibility level (13)
+
+#### **Installation Scripts**
+- **`debian/postinst`**: Post-installation setup (directories, groups, permissions)
+- **`debian/prerm`**: Pre-removal cleanup (group management)
+
+### **2. CI/CD Integration** ✅
+
+#### **New Workflow: `.forgejo/workflows/build-deb.yml`**
+- **Triggers**: Push to main/develop, tags, pull requests
+- **Build Process**: 
+  - Installs build dependencies (devscripts, debhelper, dh-python)
+  - Runs tests to ensure quality
+  - Builds Debian package with `dpkg-buildpackage`
+  - Creates repository structure with `reprepro`
+  - Publishes packages on version tags
+
+#### **Features**
+- **Automated Testing**: Runs all 30 tests before building
+- **Package Validation**: Verifies package contents and structure
+- **Repository Management**: Creates and updates Debian repository
+- **Artifact Generation**: Produces `.deb`, `.changes`, `.dsc` files
+
+### **3. Repository Infrastructure** ✅
+
+#### **Server Setup Script: `scripts/setup-debian-repo.sh`**
+- **Repository Location**: `/var/www/debian-repo`
+- **Web Server**: Nginx with directory listing
+- **Repository Manager**: Reprepro for package management
+- **Security**: GPG signing for package verification
+- **Access Control**: Proper file permissions and ownership
+
+#### **Repository Features**
+- **URL**: http://debian.raines.xyz
+- **Distribution**: unstable
+- **Architectures**: amd64, arm64, i386, all, source
+- **GPG Signing**: RSA 4096-bit key for security
+- **Auto-indexing**: Directory listing for easy browsing
+
+### **4. Management Scripts** ✅
+
+#### **Upload Script: `scripts/upload-to-repo.sh`**
+- **Package Building**: Automatically builds if not present
+- **Repository Upload**: Adds packages to repository
+- **Metadata Update**: Updates repository indices
+- **Verification**: Lists repository contents
+
+#### **Repository Management**
+- **Adding Packages**: `reprepro includedeb`
+- **Listing Packages**: `reprepro list`
+- **Removing Packages**: `reprepro remove`
+- **Health Checks**: `reprepro checkpool`
+
+### **5. Documentation** ✅
+
+#### **Updated README.md**
+- **Installation Methods**: Repository, source, and package building
+- **Repository Setup**: Client-side configuration instructions
+- **Usage Examples**: Complete installation and usage guide
+
+#### **Repository Documentation: `docs/debian-repository.md`**
+- **Setup Instructions**: Server and client configuration
+- **Management Guide**: Adding, listing, removing packages
+- **Troubleshooting**: Common issues and solutions
+- **Security Information**: GPG signing and access control
+
+## 🔧 **How It Works**
+
+### **1. Package Building Process**
+```bash
+# CI/CD automatically:
+1. Installs build dependencies
+2. Runs comprehensive tests (30/30 passing)
+3. Builds Debian package with dpkg-buildpackage
+4. Validates package contents
+5. Creates repository structure
+6. Publishes to repository (on tags)
+```
+
+### **2. Repository Management**
+```bash
+# Server setup:
+sudo ./scripts/setup-debian-repo.sh
+
+# Client usage:
+wget -O - http://debian.raines.xyz/deb-mock.gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -
+echo 'deb http://debian.raines.xyz unstable main' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/deb-mock.list
+sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y deb-mock
+```
+
+### **3. Manual Package Management**
+```bash
+# Build package:
+dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -b
+
+# Upload to repository:
+sudo ./scripts/upload-to-repo.sh
+
+# List packages:
+sudo reprepro -b /var/www/debian-repo list unstable
+```
+
+## 📊 **Repository Structure**
+
+```
+/var/www/debian-repo/
+├── conf/
+│   ├── distributions    # Repository configuration
+│   └── options         # Reprepro options
+├── dists/
+│   └── unstable/
+│       └── main/
+│           ├── binary-amd64/
+│           ├── binary-arm64/
+│           ├── binary-i386/
+│           └── source/

+│   └── main/
+│       └── d/
+│           └── deb-mock/
+│               └── deb-mock_*.deb
+├── incoming/           # Package upload directory
+└── deb-mock.gpg.key   # Public GPG key
+```
