 ### KeyDB DEB Package Source Builds

+This directory contains scripts and components needed to generate debian packages on different distributions/architectures from source
 
-You will need to install pbuilder `sudo apt install pbuilder`
+You will need to install pbuilder `sudo apt install pbuilder` along with other distribution specific dependancies
 
 Generate deb packages with the following script command run from this directory:
+
 ```
 $ ./deb-buildsource.sh
 ```
+
 This generates a directory structure, .dsc file, original.tar.gz, .changes files and new changelog for the distribution and architecture installed.
 
 When complete the produced debian packages will be located in deb_files_generated directory.
 
 Arguments for the deb-buildsource.sh script that can be passed are either 'None' or '"your custom comments"'. 'None' assumes a permanent changelog entry has been made listing the correct build for the version. If you quote and enter your own comment string, it will be appended to the changelog for that deb package. If no argument is passed a default comment is generated saying that this deb package was generated by this script.
