To create a spark deb package

• Copy the spark-deb-template directory and make_spark_deb.sh to a temporary scratch location

• download your desired version of spark into the scratch directory and unpack it

• edit make_spark_deb.sh to set the right value for SPARK_VERS

• run ./make_spark_deb.sh

• when you're done, there should be a new directory named spark-evidation_XXX

• go into that directory and edit DEBIAN/control to be sure the versions are correct

• finally, package that folder up into a deb using the following command with 1.4.1 replaced with the appropriate version:

    dpkg-deb -b spark-evidation_1.4.1 spark-evidation_1.4.1.deb
