-# Build otel-contrib-collector deb package
-
-Build the otel-contrib-collector deb package with [fpm](https://github.com/jordansissel/fpm).
-
-To build the deb package, run `make deb-package` from the repo root directory. The deb package will be written to
-`dist/otel-contrib-collector_<version>_<arch>.deb`.
-
-By default, `<arch>` is `amd64` and `<version>` is the latest git tag with `-post` appended, e.g. `1.2.3-post`.
-To override these defaults, set the `ARCH` and `VERSION` environment variables, e.g.
-`ARCH=arm64 VERSION=4.5.6 make deb-package`.
-
-Run `./internal/buildscripts/packaging/fpm/test.sh PATH_TO_DEB_FILE [PATH_TO_CONFIG_FILE]` to run a basic installation
-test with the built package. `PATH_TO_CONFIG_FILE` defaults to `examples/demo/otel-collector-config.yaml` if one is
-not specified.
