[CC’ing debian-devel because this is partly a call for contributions :-] Hi,
today, I continued in my quest to make a proper Debian package out of Serna. For now, I ignored the issue of the convenience code copies in the source code and focused on getting a properly buildable package. The four really required 3rd party tarballs are shipped in debian/3rd. http://git.nomeata.de/?p=serna.git;a=summary contains the current state. I started to use git-dpm[1] for packaging. This means that my changes against the upstream (which is SVN trunk, revision 139) is stored in debian/patches: http://git.nomeata.de/?p=serna.git;a=tree;f=debian/patches;hb=refs/heads/master Some of those can probably applied to the SVN directory directly, such as 0017-Working-exports.lst-even-if-list-is-empty.patch. The others should be reviewd and improved – I’m not an experienced C++ hacker. Especially the 64bit stuff is just a hack and needs to made working generally. The debian packages does not have build-dependencies yet. If someone wants to help assemble the correct set of packages (using pbuilder and trial’n’error, that would be appreciated). The serna binary is installed into /usr/bin/, the rest is put in /usr/lib/serna. The binary is compiled with rpath so that the bundles libs can be put in /usr/lib/serna/lib. I tried hard to make serna accept this, but the patch that I try to use does not seem to be sufficient. Any comments welcome: http://git.nomeata.de/?p=serna.git;a=blob;f=debian/patches/0020-Hardcode-usr-lib-serna-as-DataDir.patch;hb=HEAD I also started to work on the debian/copyright file, which is naturally a large beast. Again, help is appreciated: http://git.nomeata.de/?p=serna.git;a=blob;f=debian/copyright;hb=HEAD All in all I thought would have gotten further in one whole day, and motivation is fading again. Contributions by others are a good way to increase motivation again :-).
