Creation of .deb file for Ubuntu is recommended

[btegs]

Is there a way that a .deb file can be created for the Ubuntu packages offered at https://github.com/facebook/hhvm/wiki/Prebuilt-packages-on-Ubuntu-12.04 and https://github.com/facebook/hhvm/wiki/Prebuilt-packages-on-Ubuntu-14.04

I ask because installing hhvm-dev brings down a lot of dependencies and neither the main hhvm package or hhvm-dev sets the $HPHP_HOME environment. It can be a little confusing in compiling this package, so a file would be appreciated as there isn't a lot of guides out there in compiling with the provided packages from http://dl.hhvm.com/ubuntu.

@mcuadros - Would it be better suited if this driver was pushed upstream to the main HHVM codebase and shipped with HHVM like MySQL?

I dont know if this is possible, this library has partial support to the full mongo-php-driver

I know I'm going back to a an old issue, but has there been any progress in this MongoDB driver to work with the prebuilt Ubuntu releases or talks with Facebook to include one? I've made the mongo.so file in the past, but at the pace that HHVM is going at, it would be convenient to have the driver in sync.

Have you built the mongo.so file with the latest Debian/Ubuntu version of HHVM 3.5? For some reason installing hhvm-dev has weird dependency breakage when getting in 14.04.
