creating a .deb from archlinux tar.xz
I am trying to install the latest commit (4.0.3) of Nemo file manager on Ubuntu 18.04. It finally fixes the bug where searches do not include hidden folders. Since there is no configure file in the commit, I am unable to make the build. Arch Linux has a compiled version of nemo 4.0.3 but I'm lost on how to install it or create a Debian package. Is anyone able to look at it and help me? Thanks. Nemo 4.03 from Arch Linux
deb packaging nemo

Source-based method will fail (see below), but you can install compiled package from PPA:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:trebelnik-stefina/cinnamon
sudo apt-get install nemo
and enjoy:
According to PKGBUILD you need to use meson.
So you should download Ubuntu-specific build-dependencies
sudo apt-get build-dep nemo
then download the Nemo source from official repository:
sudo apt-get install git
cd ~/Downloads
git clone https://github.com/linuxmint/nemo.git
cd nemo
git checkout 4.0.3
then install meson and compile the package:
sudo apt-get install meson
mkdir build
cd build
meson
but it will not compile because of old version of xapp library:
Native dependency xapp found: NO found '1.0.4' but need: '>=1.4.0'
meson.build:84:0: ERROR: Invalid version of dependency, need 'xapp' ['>=1.4.0'] found '1.0.4'.
So it seems that you can't install it on 18.04 LTS...
