h1. Packaging
To be able to install TVHeadend permanently on your system, or distribute to others, its highly recommend that you build a package.
But before you can do this make sure you have read the basic build instructions [[Building|here]]
Different distributions will have different package formats, however TVHeadend comes with scripts to help build several common ones.
h2. Ubuntu / Debian
To build a deb package for the latest version of Ubuntu (Precise, at the time of writing) you can do the following:
> x86 32-bit
<pre>
$ ./AutoBuild.sh -t precise-i386
</pre>
> x86 64-bit
<pre>
$ ./AutoBuild.sh -t precise-amd64
</pre>
Note: Although the scripts are named precise (for Ubuntu 12.04) they will work just fine with most recent versions of Debian/Ubuntu.
h2. Redhat/CentOS/Fedora
TODO: add info on building an RPM
h2. Gentoo
TODO: add info on build ebuild.
h2. Package Maintainers
