+# go-deb - package things to make it easier on everyone else
+
+Makes a debian package from a go git repository, but also arbitrary things.
+
+# Usage
+
+* go-deb --auto --repo go.wit.com/apps/go-clone # just make the .deb file already
+* go-deb ---repo go.wit.com/apps/go-clone  # will try to open a gtk gui
+* go-deb --repo . # can be used for packaging anything. looks for a 'control' and 'build' file
+
+# examples/
+
+See the examples/ directory for custom 'control' and 'build' files for packaging arbitrary projects.
+
+# Notes
+
+Make a 'control' file for the debian package. 
+You can also make a custom 'build' script to run to place additional files in the debian package. 
+
+
+.deb files are actually a smart and very simple file format based off of tar. This was
+a smart design decision in the early days when, if things went wrong, your system
+could break when updating things like glibc. This would mean that you couldn't even
+figure out what is what. Having a very primitive file format is a bonus. That also
+means, it is simple to make them! This can be non-intuitive however. This tool
+tries to simpilfy that process.
+
+Basically a .deb file is based off of 'tar' and 'ar' (I can only assume 'ar' is a
+precurser to tar, but I don't know for sure and will ask maddog!)
+
+Inside the .deb file are some control files and debian specific files and then
+a tarball of all the files to extract.
+
+# Todo
+
+* make .rpm, gentoo, arch, etc file formats also
+* make whatever the macos needs
+* windows support I guess. golang needs plugin support on windows first.
