Hi Laurent, I had a look at fpm a while back, but the way it's implemented makes it a pretty bad idea, in my opinion. It will generate a .deb file by running tar and ar etc manually, completely bypassing what dpkg does.
While this happens to work and *might* be the right thing to do on non-Debian systems, I don't think it's something a tool in Debian should do. Please consider at least patching it so it uses dpkg behind the radar, rather than trying to bypass it entirely. -- Copyshops should do vouchers. So that next time some bureaucracy requires you to mail a form in triplicate, you can mail it just once, add a voucher, and save on postage. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
