Capstone Docker packaging

This assumes your working directory is in the packages/deb/ directory. To build a Debian package for Capstone, run the script, where <tag-name> is going to be the version attached to both the capstone.pc file and the Debian package itself. The version is expected to be compliant with Debian versioning (a major/minor/patch), e. g. 5.0.4. Debian versions can also support values to indicate pre-release, e. g. 6.0.0-Alpha1.

Note: if a value such as 6.0.0-Alpha1 is provided, the major/minor/patch number is extracted for capstone.pc, which would have version 6.0.0, but the Debian package would have the full version name on the control file.

Note: Currently the package is hard coded to the amd64 architecture. Independently on what machine you built it. Also see issue #2537.

./setup.sh <tag-name>

The output Debian file would be in the form libcapstone-dev_<tag-version>_amd64.deb, as to match what would be expected in a standard Debian library package.

To confirm the necessary libraries and capstone.pc is filled correctly, there exists a check_capstone.sh script to confirm libcapstone-dev was built correctly.

If you want to check the contents of the Debian package, use the following:

# Check the DEBIAN/ folder
dpkg-deb -e libcapstone-dev_<tag-version>_amd64.deb ./unpacked

# Check the content of the package, EXCEPT the DEBIAN/ folder
dpkg-deb -x libcapstone-dev_<tag-version>_amd64.deb ./unpacked
