The goal of this project is to package sentry for debian. It leverages dh-virtualenv to perform the actual work. The primary OS target is debian 8 "jessie"; It might or might not work on other debian and debian based systems.
From the same OS version as your target, do:
$ git clone git@github.com:dhatim/sentry-deb.git
$ cd sentry-deb/pkg
$ dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc
$ cd ..
$ ls -1
README.md
sentry-7.7.0-0
sentry_7.7.0-0.dsc
sentry_7.7.0-0.tar.gz
sentry_7.7.0-0_amd64.changes
sentry_7.7.0-0_amd64.deb
The target sentry version is 7.7.0. postinst calls sentry init /etc/sentry/sentry.conf.py if this file doesn't exist already, so as
to provide a sample configuration file.
The package adds a dependency on the postgresql driver, so it is ready to use with a postgresql database.
The package is made to depend on supervisor, and provides a suitable supervisor configuration file so that sentry server and workers start as services, managed by supervisor.
Please note that The sentry service won't start by default on package installation. You'll have to configure whatever it is that needs to be configured, and tickle supervisor so it picks up the changes, i.e.:
# supervisorctl reread
# supervisorctl update
