-## Building .deb packages
-
-The `contrib/debian/` directory contains basic rules to build a
-Debian package. It has been tested on Debian Jessie and Wheezy,
-but should work, possibly with minor changes, if you have other
-dpkg-based systems such as Ubuntu or Mint.
-
-To build Netdata for a Debian Jessie system, the debian directory
-has to be available in the root of the Netdata source. The easiest
-way to do this is with a symlink:
-
-```sh
-ln -s contrib/debian
-```
-
-Edit the `debian/changelog` file to reflect the package version and
-the build time:
-
-```sh
-netdata (1.21.0) unstable; urgency=medium
-
- * Initial Release
-
- -- Netdata Builder <bot@netdata.cloud> Tue, 12 May 2020 10:36:52 +0200
-```
-
-Then build the debian package:
-
-```sh
-dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -rfakeroot
-```
-
-This should give a package that can be installed in the parent
-directory, which you can install manually with dpkg.
-
-```sh
-ls -1 ../*.deb
-../netdata_1.21.0_amd64.deb
-../netdata-dbgsym_1.21.0_amd64.deb
-../netdata-plugin-cups_1.21.0_amd64.deb
-../netdata-plugin-cups-dbgsym_1.21.0_amd64.deb
-../netdata-plugin-freeipmi_1.21.0_amd64.deb
-../netdata-plugin-freeipmi-dbgsym_1.21.0_amd64.deb
-sudo dpkg -i ../netdata_1.21.0_amd64.deb
-```
-
-### Reinstalling Netdata
-
-The recommended way to upgrade Netdata packages built from this
-source is to remove the current package from your system, then
-install the new package. Upgrading on wheezy is known to not
-work cleanly; Jessie may behave as expected.
