+# Example: packaging leap_cli and dependencies
+
+Upstream: https://leap.se/code/issues/6503
+
+## Determine dependencies
+
+First, in a *fresh* vagrant box with *sid* and *testing* in the `sources.list`:
+
+    sudo apt-get install rubygems gem2deb
+    sudo gem install leap_cli
+
+Then we get the dependencies and build all packages:
+
+    dependencies=" `gem list | cut -d '(' -f 1` "
+
+Which currently gives us the following result:
+
+* activemodel
+* activesupport
+* base32
+* blockenspiel
+* builder
+* capistrano
+* colored
+* command_line_reporter
+* gli
+* gpgme
+* highline
+* i18n
+* json
+* json_pure
+* leap_cli
+* mini_portile
+* minitest
+* net-scp
+* net-sftp
+* net-ssh
+* net-ssh-gateway
+* paint
+* tee
+* thread_safe
+* tzinfo
+* versionomy
+* ya2yaml
+
+Gem cleanup:
+
+    sudo gem uninstall $dependencies
+
+Check existing dependencies:
+
+    for item in $dependencies; do
+      package=ruby-"`echo $item | sed -e 's/_/-/'`"
+      packages="$packages $package"
+    done
+
+    apt-get install --dry-run $packages
+
+Then:
+
+* Check for non-existing packages.
+* Try different package names.
+* Update your list of existing `$packages`.
+
+In this example we have the following `$already_ported` dependencies:
+
+* capistrano
+* ruby-activemodel
+* ruby-activesupport
+* ruby-blockenspiel
+* ruby-builder
+* ruby-colored
+* ruby-gpgme
+* ruby-highline
+* ruby-i18n
+* ruby-json
+* ruby-minitest
+* ruby-net-scp
+* ruby-net-sftp
+* ruby-net-ssh
+* ruby-net-ssh-gateway
+* ruby-paint
+* ruby-thread-safe
+* ruby-tzinfo
+* ruby-versionomy
+
+That means the following `$gems` needs to be packaged:
+
+* base32
+* command_line_reporter
+* gli
+* json_pure (we can just use ruby-json and ignore this dependency)
+* leap_cli
+* mini_portile
+* tee
+* ya2yaml
+
+In summary, we need to port the following `$new_packages`:
+
+* ruby-base32
+* ruby-command-line-reporter
+* ruby-gli
+* ruby-mini-portile
+* ruby-tee
+* ruby-ya2yaml
+* ruby-leap-cli
+
+## Build remaining packages
+
+    for gem in $gems; do
+      gem2deb $gem
+    done
+
+## Getting the source for the existing packages
+
+    for package in $already_ported; do
+      apt-get -t jessie source --download-only $package
+      dpkg-source -x $package*dsc
+    done
+
+## Next steps
+
+* Fix `debian/control` and other `FIXME` on each package.
+* Put `debian/` folder in a `debian` branch on each source.
+* Fix [tests](https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Ruby/Packaging/Tests).
+* [Other best practices](https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Ruby/RubyExtras/UpstreamDevelopers).
+* [Review the code](https://manual.sarava.org/specs/code/).
+* Automate building with pbuilder for `sid`.
+* Fix lintian warnings.
+* Upstream pull requests.
+* Backport everything to `wheezy`.
