 # Packaging with CPack
 
-Repository for the [CPack exercise](https://github.com/Simulation-Software-Engineering/Lecture-Material/blob/main/03_building_and_packaging/cpack_exercise.md). The code is a slightly modified version of the [code used in the CMake exercise](https://github.com/Simulation-Software-Engineering/cmake-exercise).
+This repository contains the solution for the CPack exercise. It demonstrates how to package a C++ project (split into a library `cpackexamplelib` and an executable `cpackexample`) into `.tar.gz` and Debian `.deb` packages using CMake and CPack.
+
+## Features
+
+* **CMake Installation Targets:** Configured `make install` to place binaries, libraries, and headers in standard locations (`bin/`, `lib/`, `include/`).
+* **CPack Configuration:** Generates `TGZ` and `DEB` packages with proper metadata (maintainer, dependencies, description).
+* **Debian Compliance:** Packages follow the `package_version_arch.deb` naming convention and auto-detect dependencies.
+* **Automated Build:** Includes a Docker-based workflow to build packages automatically without polluting the host system.
+
+## How to Build and Package
+
+### Option 1: Automated Docker Build (Bonus Task)
+
+This is the easiest method. It builds the shared library and packages inside a container and copies the results to your current directory.
+
+1.  Build the Docker image:
+    ```bash
+    docker build -t cpack-exercise .
+    ```
+
+2.  Run the automation script:
+    ```bash
+    docker run --rm --mount type=bind,source="$(pwd)",target=/mnt/cpack-exercise cpack-exercise
+    ```
+    *(Note: On Windows PowerShell, use `${PWD}` instead of `$(pwd)`)*
+
+### Option 2: Manual Build
+
+If you prefer to build manually inside the container:
+
+1.  Enter the container:
+    ```bash
+    docker run --rm -it --mount type=bind,source="$(pwd)",target=/mnt/cpack-exercise cpack-exercise /bin/bash
+    ```
+
+2.  Build and package:
+    ```bash
+    mkdir build && cd build
+    cmake ..
+    make package
+    ```
+
+## Lintian Checks
+
+The Debian package has been verified using `lintian`. Debug symbols are stripped to ensure the binary size is optimized and compliant.
