The unpacked source package looks the same be it native or not, so general tutorials are good readings anyway. You can refer to the new maintainer guide for instance: http://www.debian.org/doc/maint-guide/ If all you have to do is move files, you can shortcut a lot of the complexity by using the common debian build system (CDBS): http://perso.duckcorp.org/duck/cdbs-doc/cdbs-doc.xhtml If you have more questions, they may be more relevant on the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailign list: http://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/ Have a nice week-end, -- Charles Plessy http://charles.plessy.org Wakō, Saitama, Japan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
