Hi folks! Planning to set up one or more repos for LAN-wide software distribution, I still have the following questions:
How is the debian/control file generated, out of which file(s) and/or which information? I didn't find it in the orig.tar.gz file. Technically, do the lenny and lenny/updates repos have more in common than the lenny and squeeze repos, except that the */updates repos are updated? Section 4.9 of the debian policy manual introduces the requirement of a make hashbang for the debian/rules file. Why actually is this? Why not specify it as a regular, non-executable makefile or, when using a hashbang, just prescribe the parameters and leaving up to the author of the package which interpreter should be used? I hope that these questions are meaningful... Greetings, Fabiano -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
